Nice drone work!

What tires are you running and what would you change to?

What tires are you running and what would you change to?

I am running the stock tires which are Falken Wildpeak at3w all terrains. I am not sure exactly what tires I would go to. Maybe BFG K03s.

I'm running the KO3s on my 5th gen TRD Off-Road and have had good luck with them. I thought that they were going to be noisy but they're really not.

I have BFG K02s on my Jeep and I really like them.

Beautiful drone footage. This is awesome.

Great footage!
I'd love to hear more about your drone/camera setup if you feel like describing it.

Do drones have a semi-autopilot mode where you set a height above ground to maintain, and a distance from moving objects, and the pilot just has to watch for something going wrong? Or does this sort of footage require constant attention from the pilot to make footage like this?

Did use of a drone on this trail require a permit?

I am happy to share. I am using a DJI Mini 4 pro. It has the ability to active track a target. The hard part is keeping the lock. In the case of this video my wife was driving and I was controlling the drone from passenger seat. It is easier said then done. If the vehicles are moving too fast you will lose the active track. Once this happens to you have to manually fly the drone back to the convoy. You won't have visual on the vehicles so you have to use a little rador picture that shows where the controller is. In this case I was holding it. To be honest I don't really set up shots. Just fly the drone and try to position it in a way to capture something. I did set up the "reveal" fly over. That actually took me a few times. It is always challenging even if you are with a group that is understanding. You don't want to sit around all day. The "rolling" shots were taken from a Pocket 3 mounted on different vehicles. Mostly the Jeep wrangler. The challenge with that camera is you have to stay close enough to maintain a bluetooth connection. When using that I usually rode in the Jeep. The last shot of the creek crossing was a stationary gopro camera. That was the only shot that was pre-set up. The rest were just me screwing around and trying new things. I am new to all of this so experimenting is part of the fun. I like to think of creating a video is a way to capture a trip. But I don't want the whole trip to be about filming. I want to enjoy the time with the people I am with. I hope this explanation helps. Maybe in the future I will do a video about my setup. A drone license is required for commercial use. If were to get paid for the footage I would need to obtain a part 107 license. The DJI mini 4 pro is small enough to not require a license. You cannot fly in National parks. Some state parks will allow it but you need a permit. You also cannot fly near airports. Public land is not usually a problem. But if I see other people around I won't fly. The drone makes kind of an annoying sound and people who are outdoors are trying to enjoy nature so I try to respect that if I know others are around.

Thanks for watching the video and feel free to ask any further questions.
