Cool drone video we took tubing the weekend.

Nice. I wonder if it can keep up with tubing at up to 25 mph with lots of changes in direction?

Following I'd say most certainly. Orbiting probably not since it's basically flying sideways the entire time.

I want to put the drone in front of the boat (flying backwards) recording the surfer. I think that will work fine - tubing not so sure due to the inward) increased speed.
 
Flight time is short tho. I get nervous once I hit 40%

I've only ever had the Mini 2 prior and it's quite a bit better than that - especially with the Plus Size battery. That said, I also had a "stop the boat right now - I'm landing the drone" moment as I brought it in with about 10% left... My fault though - not DJIs.
 
I get about 30 minutes with the regular battery on the mini 3 pro
