Hi all,
I'm brand new here! I bought a DJI Neo and then upgraded to a DJI Mini 4 Pro to try and help me create better videos of my Bikepacking Trips for my YouTube Channel.
I work in Saudi Arabia and so getting to grips with it all and practicing hasn't been that easy in the summer as many authority figures haven't yet got the memo that they aren't illegal but also, with +40°C temperature it isn't pleasant plus controller, drone or I start overheating!
I think I'd like to be pointed in the direction of wherever is best to help me learn more so I can use it on my channel to further improve it. Obviously when cycling, the main way I use it is through tacking me but even this seems a bit hit and miss. Some days it can be a lot more accurate than others in regards to staying locked on to me and my bike. Am I forgetting something or is it down to varying light conditions or colour of my clothing?

When I see other footage it's as if people have managed to have it track them from so far away and yet I can't seem to do this! I will attach a very short, 30 seconds video of my recent trip to Sardinia and if anybody has some advice please do drop me a line.


TIA
