Mountain biking with a UAV

[flowrider]

I mountain biked the other day and brought my drone along to do some filming. It was a bit of a slog since my bike is 55lbs then a backpack full of gear. I was going to bring my DSLR for static footage but decided against it to save weight since we ride up the hill too.
Equipment used:
Phantom 3 Pro
Samsung Note 4 (shot in 1080p 60)
SJCAM 4000
Timelapse Pro for android
Mini Tripod
FCPX and graded with CGC LUT's

Very nice. But are you sure your bike weighs 55 lbs? Full-on downhill bikes don't weigh that much.

2002 Banshee Scream with Marzocchi Dual Crown Shivers. Race Face North Shore parts. Over built Shore rig from when I used to ride a lot on the North Shore of British Columbia. All my buddies have sub 30lb All mountain bikes now but I have no money!! I ride what I got and when I can afford a lighter bike I'll fly (that's what I tell myself anyhow! LOL).

Ah - I was looking at the wrong bike. That's just a beast. I can't imagine trying to make it climb.
