Nice video!

Was the drone being flown by someone in the truck or by a vehicle following?
That’s a lot harder than it looks!

Did you use an FPV drone?

Would be super cool if you open the tonneau and land it in the bed at the end!

Portrait video for literal landscapes is a new level of awful.

This looks like an FPV flight; it's a little more jumpy than most camera drones, but also could have been sped up. I've done some follow-me videos off road with a DJI Mini 4 Pro. This is a super-simple one that just shows the the auto tracking goes with no editing.

Love H-Town, perfect setting for night time CT footage. Great job

For all the old timers, Tik Tok popularized portrait mode for videos. Kids are too lazy to flip their phones back and forth to watch a landscape mode video between scrolling

Super cool video.

I'm no debbie downer by any means...but...

Broke several FAA regulations.

If they catch you doing that, you are in deep shit.

They don't play around. Seriously.

Be careful.

BTW guys, I did NOT film this. The OP says who did. I just thought it was cool. It came up in my X feed and only a couple people had seen and I felt it deserved more views. So please, no filming, droning or legal tips headed my way lol.

LOL, extremely unlikely. There are so many idiots doing so much worse.

The entire flight starts from being illegal due to lack of proper lighting. Of course, all of the regs that were broken are useless and unrelated to safety, which is the entire state of drone regulation right now.

<<whisper mode ON>> Hey, let's not tell the FAA about this, okay? It's a public forum so anyone can read it so why am I whispering? Oops... You mean .... <<whisper mode OFF>> looking for button to delete post...

LOL... It's such a damn mess.

Working on part 107, for no really super-specific reason. And put off by dealing with the stupidity of the FAA.

A few years ago I got into a pissup with a local small airport owner and a team of FAA lawyers. That was fun. Actually, in all seriousness it really was (and I won). But it was also indicative of how clueless and stupid the regs were and continue to be.
