Hi, thanks for a great video. I also done the same experiment but I was on a snowboard, It’s clear now that it can follow at a certain speed but all turns must be slow or long radius. Think it’ll still give us some great different angle footage but maybe not a reliable full on follow down the piste .
Having lost a skydio drone in the backcountry Ill add that tracking drones are fairly useless for speed and snow snow-sport but even if they could keep up - the turning on a board or skis gives you footage you can not use for more than a few seconds. I have yet to see a tracking drone replicate a normal user flown flight - they always have bad jerky turns in the drone. Most of the footage used in marketing is often short clips. My best clips were always ones when the drone was correcting it self - not the ones I set up. My hack for this is to put a normal drone up high, point down and video your line - then edit the pan and zoom in post after. Its a bit different but works really well.
It seems to be doing a good job when you are walking/running downhilll. 😆 Joking aside: Thanks for the info; Cheap drones are apparently not ready for this purpose yet. Bad drone. But at least finally a good skier in a UA-cam Video.
Thanks for the video! I think you are carving too fast and so the drone cannot follow. If you go straight or do short quick turns, it will be OK. Don't even try tree runs.
Your headshake at 2:15 definetely convinced me in not buying the Neo 😆
thank you, i was about to buy it before my snowboard trip. you saved me some money thanks

have you tried far and high in follow mode? maybe that can be a solution:(

its really terrible for snow sports. wich is crazy because its advertised with snowboarding
Thanks! That's absolute pish and completely useless. Good to know!
LOLLLolz🤣🤣🤣😀
