Maybe it’s just me but it seemed like you edited the video every time the drone got near the trees which makes me wonder if the object avoidance is not as advertised yet, or perhaps you just got too far away for a good shot. I ordered the Skydio2 so I’m just wondering.
Are you kidding me? That was seriously impressive. I’ve never seen a drone pull off that level of follow automation. That the dynamics I’ve been trying for. Nice job.
The drone footage gives a whole new perspective of what you’re riding Nate. I think you should do just a little bit more of it. Your drone footage rocked. Thanks!
Great job and perfect site selection too. Epic riding as always. . . One element I recommend you add, especially at places like Sedona, where the big picture is super awesome. Do a few big, 300+ foot, fly in/fly out shots, definitely one mid ride. Effectively giant zoom in/out’s, edited forward or reversed, ideally revealing not only the grandjour of your location but also the shear gnar of the lines your hitting by exposing a big view of the BIG vert you guys are hammering down! I’m going to guess you already figured this last suggestion out seeing your final clip. . . Alway lock the Skydio on the rider in front, with the unavoidable tracking lag your shot was still framed perfectly. Cheers man! I’m in Colorado and would love to do some dedicated drone follows with you sometime using hybrid auto drone and piloted footage if you’re interested? Add some dare is say, cinematic perspective.
Yes, please feel free to add more drone footage to your future videos. Enjoying the way we’re able to see more of the terrain while mixed with your follow cam shots. Great content your producing and the areas your riding deserves that wider perspective. Thank you!
Dude ... that drone footage is amazing ... nice mix too. Totally changes everything ... really gives the idea of what the terrain is like that your riding. Hard to show the beauty of Sedona through a GoPro ... this does it amazingly well. I’ve ridden there years ago and it really brought me back there. Just amazing.
Hell yeah that was rad. I really love the perspective that a drone shot can give for the scenery, trail, drops etc. Stuff that you tend to loose with gopro footage. I really like the mix of drone footage and gopro footage, since the Skydio 2 doesn't always nail it with the angle that it's filming so it's nice to have multiple footage to produce a video with. My one hope is that they don't get over used in highly trafficked wilderness areas. Last thing I want to hear in Moab is a swarm of drones. I think drones are a nice treat. Kind of like cookies.... Like Cookie Monster says "a Cookie is a sometimes food."
A good mix is best in my opinion as well. I am with you on the wilderness thing, super annoying out in the wild. Fortunately Sedona is a tourist petting zoo and is anything but remote. This tool has a time and a place and must be used responsibly.
This is the coolest view you have ever shot paired with the follow cam!!! Keep putting up great content! The drone follow looked great and even panned around you smooth on the tech parts showing all the angles of the line. Totally new dimension
Awesome footage! Such a nice compliment to the POV. Aside from the beauty of the shots it also adds, literally, a different perspective of the terrain.
Man the stamina, accuracy and precision you guys exercised throughout that course was amazing!!!! Skydio 2 did an amazing job also, I liked the fact you didn't keep looking back to see if it was still following. Set it and forget it!
Man that was awesome. I watch POV mountain bike videos all the time but to see the immediate scenery and the surrounding while biking gives me a new appreciation for what you do. Thanks Nate.
You know what I love, your not looking at the damn beacon or looking behind your shoulder to see where the drone is. You need to trust the technology and just send it! Great video guys! By far my favorite MTB Skydio2 video so far. I get mine in two days. Can’t wait!
With so much standard MTB POV on TH-cam (which itself continues to get better and better), this drone perspective and your reverse angle footage from "Top of the World | Whistler Bike Park in 4K" stand out above it all to me! Keep pushing the envelope. I'm sure it's a ton of work while you're riding, but this is game-changing. Good stuff.
Love how you keep pushing what’s possible with riding videos. This dynamic is definitely a game changer in regards to the perspective that the viewer has about these trails. Looking forward to more of these!
Great enhancement, I always think your riding is amazing and getting to see how you ride from another perspective not only looks great but is a great lesson. Please keep up the great work.
I liked the added drone shots, cool to see you ride Nate. The editing between the drone shots and POV adds a new level to the vids, pretty cool to mix it up.
This was a pretty badass intro to the channel video for me. you climbed a massive crack and pulled off white line so damn smoothe im excited to check out more this was great
It's great to have that second angle to mix with your GoPro footage. The Skydio footage looks terrific and helps show the scale of the environment. Well done!
Daaamm bro... great perspective of the white line not seen before. Great work...bike looks like it is really sticking to the trails...suspension dialed in!!!
The drone...I was thinking it would follow you around from a general fixed point and angle. Man, I was way wrong all the different shots from almost every angle possible very cool stuff. And as always killing it on the bike. Great video.
The drone element is incredible. Saw the skidio when they first came and this is first real footage I've seen. As impressive as you're riding of the white line trail. Thanks for sharing.
The new drone is awesome ! I love the different views, it gave me such a better perspective of what white line is really like and how obvious it is that you have it wired ! You made it look easy ! Keep up the great work
This has to be some of your best work yet. The drone added a whole mew dimension. It seemed like some one was directing the shots, it just captured angels perfect...
I think the video turned out awesome. Love the drone footage, really shows a different dimension of the terrain that the go pro misses. Looking forward to even more awesome riding in the future.
LOOKS FANTASTIC!!! Finally a drone that follows and changes elevation. In the past the follow mode on drones never followed the rider down elevation change which created ants on bikes the further down the trail you got. Your mix of drone and POV was great. The drone also shows the true steepness of certain parts of the trail when the GoPro effect takes over. Also shows the Real Size of the drops (which also gets lost via GoPro effect). I also really liked that you used the GoPro audio when you were showing the drone footage so that we could hear the sounds of the trail and the bike. Nice Work!!!
Wow, that was the perfect place to unleash that little beast. It looked like it was effortless for it. Great riding and some of the best unmanned mtb drone footage I've seen. Great job, gotta love where technology had lead us.. Cheers
This video is bad ass. It makes me want to do 2 things, get on a plane and ride those sweet looking Sedona trails and buy a Skydio 2. I loved how you kept the bike audio going while you switched to the drone shots.
The drone is greatness. Love being able to watch you from that point of view. Epic, for sure. Too bad they can't find some way to put a sound filter on those drones! Keep up the drone footage. FOLLOW CAM AND DRONE FRIDAYS!
I'm sure this is what GoPro had in mind when they launched the Karma drone, such a shame it never worked out for them. Great riding skills and video. Stunning scenery. What a great time to be alive!!!
Fantastic new technology. Love the multiple views and the drone allows for better appreciation of the landscape/topography that is ridden. That 3rd person vantage point is also super helpful to pick up tips and learn better technique while watching not only you & your riding friends, but other elite professional athletes like Tiger Woods, Lionel Messi, Ron Jeremy, etc...
SO DOPE!! Perfect mixture of drone footage. Obviously more work for you but so worth it. And its awesome getting to see you riding from a 3rd persons point of view. Thank you
There's a learning curve here and I see it as content opportunity. I would like to see you explore those opportunities much like you explored your past and present days.
Wow! Nice job Nate. I love it! So much more enjoyable to watch, interchanging the POV from drone to chest is a great formula. Happy New Year from Logan, Utah :-)
I think it is awesome mixing the two. They both give some good views. On scary rollers/tech I think it will be more valuable to show what you're actually doing...
Absolutely loving your drone footage definitely want some more of that dude, and seeing where you are riding from another perspective is pretty awesome ... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👊 please sir can we have some more
MORE drone! That was sick. The video looks so much more professional with the drone combo included. In a sea of TH-cam follow-cams, this stands out like a diamond in the rough. Now I'm anxiously awaiting stuff you've already ridden to be redone with the drone. Completely new perspective has me chomping at the bit. BTW, if Yeti isn't paying you obscene amounts of money, they are idiots. The drone shot adds much value to the gear you are using and advertising including that sweet turquoise bike.
Amazing, seen some these before but this one just seems to work. The camera colours are great, the scenery really pops out. Makes the chest mounted camera look a little washed out now. It’s great. Do more!
love the drone! takes follow-cam to a whole new level. sick! agree with other commenters that the mix between pov and drone is really nice and adds a lot of perspective.
Pretty damn sweet. I like having an additional perspective, particularly because it gives me a better idea of how fast you guys are riding these lines (sometimes it's hard to tell with the chest mount). That's super helpful for my riding. I also just like the way it looks. My only minor gripe is that it makes a lot of noise. Comes with the territory though. Tight!
The noise is the biggest complaint. This has a time and a place and must be used responsible. Last thing I want to do is bum out other trail users. The content tho... ha
@@natehills9388 good on you for acknowledging the other riders and the noise. I think it is an awesome addition to your channel and love the footage. I wouldn't mind hearing one drone fly with some shredders, but with this tech becoming more approachable/affordable everyday you can imagine if there was 10 flying around filming every weekend warrior, it would be pretty annoying.
@@steviedingledangle7982 In Sedona, real helicopters carrying tourists buzz the trail every 20 minutes, so I fit right in... ha. It's all about the right time and place.
This will be revolutionary. My opinion, You are one, if not the OG that Started this whole “Mtb TH-camr” thing...only right for you to keep innovating it!! Rad video! 🔥👊🏼
Welcome to the future. Let me know what you think in the comments. Fresh for 2020.
Great stuff. Every time you cut away just as a tree looms in the drone's lens I think "Oh, it wrecked for sure" to myself.
Badass!
SICKNESS
Maybe it’s just me but it seemed like you edited the video every time the drone got near the trees which makes me wonder if the object avoidance is not as advertised yet, or perhaps you just got too far away for a good shot. I ordered the Skydio2 so I’m just wondering.
Awesome love the drone it's like Nate following Nate 🤣 more drone
The drone added a whole new dimension and makes what you do look more exciting
Happy New Year David!
Nate, his name is Daniel 😂 But Happy New Year to you too!
Happy New Year Daniel! I need to hire an editor, lol.
@@natehills9388 when do I start? 😂
@@davidharbour4547 After you change your name to Daniel, ;)
Are you kidding me? That was seriously impressive. I’ve never seen a drone pull off that level of follow automation. That the dynamics I’ve been trying for. Nice job.
Sean Knight new software never ceases to amaze me. Just wait til they figure out how to make batteries that sustain flight for hours.

That autonomous flight and camera work is seriously next level! 😮
Definitely more of it. Adds a whole other dimension to the videos.
Good job Nate! You made your mountain bike's excursions even more interesting with the drone's videos

Great enhancement, I always think your riding is amazing and getting to see how you ride from another perspective not only looks great but is a great lesson. Please keep up the great work.
Awesome!! The drone definitely offers a different point view of the trail surrounding - especially on those steep sections. I like it!
I liked the added drone shots, cool to see you ride Nate. The editing between the drone shots and POV adds a new level to the vids, pretty cool to mix it up.
I think it's pretty cool, you can really see the exposure and how sketchy it really is!! Great job!!
This was a pretty badass intro to the channel video for me. you climbed a massive crack and pulled off white line so damn smoothe im excited to check out more this was great
This is NEXT LEVEL! Thanks for adding this element to the follow cam!
Loved the new perspective Nate. Beyond belief what you fellas ride....!!!
The Drone footage is awesome! It gives a way better idea of how crazy steep the lines are and the scenery looks amazing.
It's great to have that second angle to mix with your GoPro footage. The Skydio footage looks terrific and helps show the scale of the environment. Well done!
Drone Footage was amazing, more please, it really adds a perspective to how steep the trails really are.
Love it Nate!! So cool that it stayed with you in the taller trees
Happy new years dude! Drone perspective is a cool addition, all about the editing which you always handle well.
Daaamm bro... great perspective of the white line not seen before. Great work...bike looks like it is really sticking to the trails...suspension dialed in!!!

Wow Nate! This is the new level! You're guiding the future of mtb contents!
Great edits and proper combination of various camera perspectives - well done.
Great video editing with GoPro footage, loved the intro music so much more than most drone video music! Awesome video!
The new drone is awesome ! I love the different views, it gave me such a better perspective of what white line is really like and how obvious it is that you have it wired ! You made it look easy ! Keep up the great work
It is easy.... until it isn't. ha

it just captured angels perfect...
really cool shots with the drone coming down the big rock rolls. also really cool seeing the scenery around you
The drone is a keeper! Great perspective and nice to switch between the different cameras as you did so keep the chest mounted too
I think the video turned out awesome. Love the drone footage, really shows a different dimension of the terrain that the go pro misses.
Looking forward to even more awesome riding in the future.
Sweet! Love the back and forth cuts between the POV and the drone. Makes for a whole new perspective on Follow-Cam Friday!
Pretty fricken sick dude ! Even the background landscape of Sedona looked so crisp & clear
The dynamic range and overall sharpness are impressive.
Unflippin believable... that's gonna get you so many amazing shots as well. Drone footage does MTB so much more justice than the go pros
Love the drone. It is a new perspective and gives a much better idea of how you are traversing the terrain. Great!

This point of view is sick! Refreshing to see you bring something new to the table. Good job!
Perfect integration of Drone and Direct footage. Great Video!
ooooh. stoked to see how you put the Skydio2 through its paces and the awesome footage you consistently come up with!
Nate, great video! Love the mix of POV and drone footage!
That was a sick edit! The Skydio 2 definitely kicked up another notch. Can't wait to see you bring this to Mt. Lemmon this winter, hopefully!
Millie would look dope with this thing!
@@natehills9388 I'll be anxiously waiting for the video!
That is pretty rad! Shows off those steeps and exposure.
That was awesome, it looked really good when it was trailing slightly behind you. Taking follow cam Friday to a new level!
This video is bad ass. It makes me want to do 2 things, get on a plane and ride those sweet looking Sedona trails and buy a Skydio 2. I loved how you kept the bike audio going while you switched to the drone shots.
Love the combo of drone and POV. Drone shows more of the terrain with a cinematic flavor. Add it to the mix.
Really cool mix of both. We all know that you are really skilled we just don’t get to see it enough. The drone fixes that! Thanks for the cool work!
Jesus Nate. Incredible drone footage. It lifts the video to another level. Please use your toy more in the future.
Wow, that was so rad to watch! 3:21 - 3:31 ish was a seriously impressive shot/perspective.
Super great editing!!! It captures the total riding experience. Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year.
Nice riding Nate! The SD2 did a great job filming that ride.

Damn that’s impressive. That thing tracks as well as you ride! Quality is great too, very cinematic.
Next level dude. You win the internet today. The future of you channel is going to go off
Awesome! Loved the footage and the, of course, the riding. I think I need one of these.
Bro, amazing!!! It was the best movie I have been ever seen! Definitely MORE drone!
Yet another epic video , the drone footage was awesome. I've been a fan from the beginning and I still look forward to FollowCamFriday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy New Year!
Drone shots are so dope!!! So sick to see a different perspective
SO DOPE!! Perfect mixture of drone footage. Obviously more work for you but so worth it. And its awesome getting to see you riding from a 3rd persons point of view. Thank you

Wow! The Skydio 2 is amazing! It's like the drone knows the "Rule Of Third". Gonna save money for this new toy.

I really enjoyed the drone! Shows a different perspective of your riding and the surrounding area where you are riding!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Love the added dimension of the drone video!
Boynton Trail and Fool's Pass. Deadman's Canyon, right? We were hiking that area that weekend. Remember the flute player?
Sick vid Nate! That Skydio 2 seems to handle the obstetrical avoidance very well. Ride on bother!
This is freaking sick! More drone please. I’d like to see how it performs at whistler with the amount of trees there.
I think it is awesome mixing the two. They both give some good views. On scary rollers/tech I think it will be more valuable to show what you're actually doing...

Thats some great footage and a great new addition to your caotures!
Unreal, I'm amazed how well and far it tracked you 👌
Awesome, what a way to start off 2020, not just from a POV.
unfreakin' believable! Sweet vid Nate..keep it up mate!
This is just amazing! Taking mountain biking footage to the next level.

This perspective brings the reality of your skill level to life. Great addition to your video artistry.
Great video. Love the mix of drone and go pro. Anxiously awaiting my Skydio 2 as well. Thanks for the demo! :)
So sick! Drone with the POV mixed is amazing! Keep adding in drone footage when you can🤘
Amazing, seen some these before but this one just seems to work.
The camera colours are great, the scenery really pops out.
Makes the chest mounted camera look a little washed out now.
