First impression: It’s tiny!
It took over an hour to charge all three batteries that came with the bundle. The charging hub can also act as a battery bank for other USB devices if you needed an emergency charge which seems cool, but I’m not sure I’ll ever use it that way.
My main reason for getting this drone was to see if it can give me better skateboarding clips that seem like I have a filmer, as opposed to the constant static tripod shots I currently capture. The software it has onboard uses some sort of AI that looks at my face during startup and then associates my body to my face and follows me around in a few different flight modes. Tracking and Spotlight are the 2 modes I’m most looking forward to using and I tried them out in this short video of my first flights and tests. I’ve since angled the camera down so the next test should show more of my feet in the frame. I have some ideas for capturing the skateboarding sounds and not the drone sound, but that will be in later test flights.
It’ll be fun to look back at this first video after a while. I’m pretty excited and looking forward to some warmer days with no snow on the ground.
