i ahd a friend come over today and he brough this dji mini 3. i had a blast with it, the flying was kinda blah, it was cool for a min then was like a car ride, i just was waiting to reach my destination.
but then he showed me the active tracking, and that was REALLY cool!
i started thinking how cool it would be to have a dedicated drone to record my trucks while their on the trail/ i think it would be the bees knees personally lol
so now I'm in qa rabbit hole
I'm pretty sold on the dji drones, they seem to eb the most beginner friendly and good quality for their prices, his mini 3 was really cool but I'm not sure how well it would work while walking thru wooded trails, the mini 5 seems to have slightly better obstacle avoidance but at the same time its never going to be perfect. its going to eventually crash.

how difficult is it to repair a drone are parts easily attained like an rc trucks? would i need to get the license if I'm not trying to monetize anything? ( that seems to be a big deal)

I'm not planning on trying to race cars, or fly to the moon, just want a high quality video following my truck the the woods, does anyone have any suggestions on a drone to check out?

I'm looking at the mini3 - mini 5- the 5 seems to be much more inline with my wants other than the pricetag
 
Glad you posted this. I can't afford one now but been thinking about one since February. You looking at fpv and all?
