首先，这不是一个赞助文章，我的预算中的一个大洞可以证明这一点！
Drones, love them, hate them, never used one, so don’t have an opinion…this might help.
基础…
什么是无人机，以防你在岩石下生活一会儿
一个小型的无人飞行器用于entertainment or to take photos or videos from an aerial perspective. Remotely controlled and battery driven, apersonal drone’sflight duration is measured in minutes.
Do adventure motorcyclists need one…maybe, it all depends on the individual? I have a couple, and a lot of other riders on the forum are using them too, with great success, but they do have their challenges.
The first and most important and I have to put this here, there are legal requirements, for most drones you do need a license, it’s easier for you to click this link and find out what the requirements are where you live or where you plan to ride, and what category you’d be in for the particular drone you would use –无人机法律
我拥有的无人机是Dji Mavic Air 2和Dji Mini 2
What I like about the Mavic Air 2
Pro’s – Flight time, image quality, speed, and the ‘follow me’ feature in more open areas
Con’s – the size, weight, high price and needing a license…and in a secure case, to keep it all clean and safe everything weighs in at 9lbs, the batteries are huge and take a long time to charge from 110/240
The DJI Mini 2
我喜欢它很小（适合一个Mosko Pico Tank Bag, with space to spare, which is one of the smallest out there), lightweight (below 250gm) very easy to use, sharing the footage can be done straight from the app, you can charge via 12 volts on the bike and doesn’t require an FAA license, and reasonably priced
What I don’t like is the size of the controller, it uses the same heavy one as the Mavic Air 2, but as its durable, you can throw it in your backpack/ hydration pack, and it’s a little delicate.
如果坐在坦克袋中的无人机似乎是一件坏事，那就是！我的好友迈克在TacoMoto.comakes to special order a two-piece case for the DJI Mini and Mini 2 and it’s as snug and as tight as a case can be with zero room to spare for movement once it’s inside.
转到他的网站并使用页面底部的联系人与他交谈/电子邮件给他的价格和可用性，这是一个新产品，尚未列出。
…and still fits in thatMosko Pico Tank Bagwith room to spare
So why would you need a drone?
显然，视频素材和获取独特的镜头和观点无法使用任何其他方式。
…but from a motorcyclist’s perspective how often do you hear riders say they ride solo because they prefer it, then follow on with “just wish I had more photos of me in places I’ve been, not just, this is my bike in…and here it is again in…!”
易于解决的方法是获得三脚架并将相机放在计时器上，但是你必须乘坐它，并希望当你退回或没有被吹过的时候就在那里。
一台脚架上的相机很容易，但要诚实，无人机更容易，特别是迷你2，设置和获得它的空气传播需要少于建立三脚架，而且它是安全的，因为它是在空中遥不可及的。
当我使用更大的坦克袋时，我在袋子顶部的魔术贴和控制器的下侧将其固定到位，并且易于调整或不同，从我的坦克袋的顶部拿起。
***这是一个用于尺寸参考的iPhone 7
连接你的手机，打开寄生虫把它放在空中，从一个独特的角度完成你自己的视频或照片。现在是一个大加上无人机在JPEG和RAW中拍照，如此易于分享或在后期进行后期。
The next ‘but’ why the Mini 2, “it can’t follow you so what’s the point. Well, that depends on what you are looking for. If you ask most filmmakers they will tell you that a 10-second shot is usually enough to get what you want, any longer and the viewer loses interest, sound familiar?
Put that Mini 2 in the air and ride towards it, away from it, across its view, use the photo timer to take multiple images if you don’t want video, or you could get creative.
Even though the mini doesn’t have the follow-me feature if you are in slow sections you might be surprised what you could create, this might help…
The main point to remember about flying the Mini 2 is its lack of sensors so be very aware of its surroundings before flying, because it will fly straight into things, that’s where that $49 DJI insurance comes in handy!
这是一个快速的视频从视频中拍摄，需要两分钟才能捕获，并且对大多数Web出口或乘车报告等很好
*顺便说一下，我骑了新的胜利850体育运动，有一个功能文章和视频即将推出。
The big plus for me and how I ride is being able to charge the Mini 2 from 12 volts right from the bike, so if it were a day ride I’d just take the drone, controller, and a charging cable, take a few shots, charge as I ride, rinse and repeat over and over.
If you are a rider that does more technical slower riding and really wants that follow me feature look no further than inmateRideFreak和his Skydio2.
他有一个非常详细的问答帖子这里if you were looking for more details on the SkyDio 2 and other drones, have a read of the 50+ pages
Some quick insight from RideFreak –
The pro’s – SkyDio is autonomous so it makes all its avoidance decisions, power wires or bare trees can pose a problem but outside that it’s very good at following someone. In that scenario, the rider is left to ride the bike, that’s it’s strongpoint, flying itself up to 36mph while filming the subject.
......它也是由美国公司在美国设计和建造的
Con’s – It doesn’t have the range, flight time (20min) or quite the quality of camera as the Mavic although it still takes very nice 4K/60FPS HDR video.
The video below is one of his from the southwest of the US with some close in drone action in a tight canyon, subscribe to his channelRidefreaktv.on YouTube as he rides some amazing areas most of us will never see and takes his drone with him every time.
希望这一点给你一个小小的洞察力，以及他们如何成为一个真正增加的奖励，以便特别是如果你是独奏骑手。
