Flying action Camera - Best drone for Mountain Biking?

[@DroneSyndrome]

Awesome video! Man, you have some skills on the trails. I need to step up my MTB game. Thanks for sharing

[@UPHILLPHILL]

Thanks so much for your comment and for watching 👍. I’ll be watching your channel for more insights on my X1PM and get filming the difference in performance between it and my little X1. I’m keen to see how the beacon and new cycling mode perform 😉.

[@DroneSyndrome]

@UPHILLPHILL You got it. I think your channel is way more fun and entertaining than mine! Yes, I want to do a video testing out the cycling mode with and without the beacon but the weather hasn't allowed me to. Heck, I wish I could bike like you and your buds there, its so insane what those bike can do. Cheers mate! 👍

Interesting video, I've been thinking of something like this for my sporting (cycling/kayaking) and general photography. Your video has encouraged me to explore this area further.

[@UPHILLPHILL]

Honestly, this little gadget is so impressive. I’ve used it on family holidays as well and it’s so reliable + surprisingly robust. I’d recommend getting extra batteries as flight time is limited but easily increased by a couple of extras. Thanks so much for watching and commenting, it’s really appreciated 🤜🤛

Friston doesn’t look that dry and dusty at the moment 😂 Interesting bit of kit for sure 👌

[@UPHILLPHILL]

You’re absolutely correct, it’s a bit of a slop fest now!🤣. Thanks for watching and for your comment, much appreciated 🤜🤛

The follow mode gave a good prospective of how steep the trail was! This is probably the best video I have seen on a MTB channel. Great job my friend!!

[@UPHILLPHILL]

Wow, sound praise indeed, thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it! Very much appreciated 🤜🤛

Great video mate. Which model is the one you got? It’s pretty impressive.

[@UPHILLPHILL]

Thanks so much 👍. This is my current standard X1 (there’s a link in the description to the exact model) however, in the not too distant future I’ll be looking at an upgrade, so watch this space 😉.

Mate has one of these. I tried it out and thought it was a great piece of kit, and then i tried the DJI Neo! Longer flight times, better in stronger winds and the tracking is superb. The fact that i can use the phone as an audio source without the rotor noise, and my mini 4 pro controller to fly it is the icing on the cake.

[@UPHILLPHILL]

I’d agree that the Neo definitely has advantages over the X1 but the X1 also has the voice capture feature via phone and I use a Bluetooth mic connected to my iPhone so I don’t have to hold it, which works a treat. The Neo kinda sits in the middle of the X1 and the X1 ProMAX (soon to be available). Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated 🤜🤛.

[@AutoGleamTruths]

sounds like the best to get 😀

[@UPHILLPHILL]

IMO, for myself it’s great 👍.

[@AutoGleamTruths]

@UPHILLPHILL I am totally fed up with not having the cover when I'm on my bike 😑 looking forward to testing out one, if I can convert the wife 😂🤣

[@syncroG60golf]

Just bought one of these. Can’t wait to try it out on my rides.

[@Currambero100]

Hi. I have a question. Did you have to register this Drone with the FFA in order to be able to post videos in You Tube and Monetizen? Did yopu have to take the test? Thanks!!

[@UPHILLPHILL]

Hi 👋. I’m based in the UK but I think the rules are different with regard to the weight of the device being under 250g which requires a basic operating licence but I’d recommend checking it out for your area to be completely safe. This is device also quite different with regard to the fact that it is classed as an autonomous flying camera that has a very close operating range to its user/point of origin, very different to the capabilities of a DJI for example. Thanks for watching and for your comment 👍

[@TheXanUser]

would have been nice to see some sort of faster riding. instead of just climbs and technical slow riding.

[@UPHILLPHILL]

Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, the X1 is only capable of a maximum speed of 15mph, so it doesn’t do “fast”. My aim for this video was to capture my first owner experience with this amazing flying camera. I did not purchase it for speed, instead, it fulfilled my requirements for alternative angles and perspectives of the trails rather than just POV. Your request, however, will be satisfied as I have just received the upgraded version so watch this space 😉👍.
