Today I am bringing you mountain biking with me on the maiden voyage of my new self-following action camera / drone, the Hover X1 by Zero Zero Robotics. 🤙

The drone has a couple limitations. It is not able to track subjects going faster than 15 mph, and it has some trouble fighting strong crosswinds and headwinds. But for the money, it gets awesome shots that would cost four times more with something like a Skydio 2+ with beacon.

It is quite tough considering how portable it is. The drone flew itself into a tree several times during the filming of this video, and all I had to do was pick out some foliage, dust it off, and launch the next mission.

When the drone crashes, sometimes the battery becomes dislodged. As a backup tracker in the event of a crash, here is a key finder that I am testing:
