Hey all, I was curious if anyone thinks this can follow an ATV/UTV. And which would form of control would work better for long hikes?
 
Unfortunately, the Flip only subject tracks people at this point no matter what control device you use. It may struggle with getting a lock on a person riding an ATV/UTV.

For hiking, I would just use smartphone app and/or the “Quickshot” automatous flight options. That’s my plan for solo hikes and I want to share video/photos to social media.

If you are trying to decide which controller package to get (RC-N3 or RC2), I would go with the RC2 as you don't have to worry about connecting a phone to the controller. You still have the option to use phone control only for hikes etc.

I agree with Chris... Always use an RC if you can. Even if you just carry it as backup in your backpack, should you lose phone connection.

I myself would probably use my phone for this purpose, because I can use voice control. However, be careful not to get in some situation where you can't get closer to it to reconnect.

The RC in the backpack is a lot of insurance and peace of mind.
 
I agree with the other fellas about having an RC controller as a backup. Having the built in screen on the RC2 is nice so you don't have to worry about another device, like your phone, having a battery charge on top of the controller.
