Anyone have a DJI Flip or similar?

Not had a drone before and quite like the idea of getting some aerial shots during a ride and footage following me and others. 

Big appeal of the Flip is it folds and sounds simple to follow a subject. I'd need to be able to put it in a backpack while riding so trying to find out if it will be strong enough in there.

DC Rainmaker is your friend for this stuff.

I have a DJI Neo it very easily fits in a coat pocket, it has the follow mode on it too. I haven’t played with it too much just yet but it is impressive.

I'd take a look at the hover X1 series - much better for biking than DJIs offering - especially the pro max.

(I say this owning 3 DJI drones.)

Hover air x1 looks interestung. Only 15mph though unless I go for the pro.

I occasionally use my neo. Checking out my house gutters. Robust and small enough to be placed in the top pocket of a rucksack. Not used it when biking but as Dr P shows (link above) it does a good job. I could do with using it more often which might happen now summer is approaching. I bought the fly more kit which has the controller and extra batteries which are needed if you want to fly for more than 15 minutes in perfect conditions.

I agree buy the Fly More Combo as it comes with extra batteries, controller and charging dock for batteries.
