Hi guys,


[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMvnxubu9YM[/url]
I saw this guy use a drone to follow and record him jogging. I’m thinking doing the same. Has anyone done something like this? What’re your thoughts on using a technology like this?

Thanks,

I kind of follow the same thought, maybe if the drone was higher altitude with some wider shots of great scenery

The first thing I thought of, is "narcissism at its finest"

I mean, isn't the whole point of jogging to get away from it all? Why in the world would you record yourself jogging?

The only thing I can think of is that you could see your running form from all angles, but that might be easier to do on a treadmill in front of a mirror.

I'd love to know why the OP thought this was forum topic worthy and why he is considering doing this himself?

Hmm..the first thing I thought of, as a runner, is...."Wow..what a cool way to critique my stride and maybe find out some hints to improve it!"

This I guess is the difference in mindset between runners and non-runners.

Thanks!

Not true at all former member who was banned but has returned with a new user name.

As a runner myself, I have ZERO time to be concerned with flying a drone behind me to watch me. I dont know of any runners that I hang with in real life who would even bother with this nonsense.

Sorry but this is my first account here, under any name.
You're obviously mistaken.

As far as a drone, I probably won't ever bother to buy one for a running partner. But I wouldn't mind having one video me so I could review my form.

Just out of curiosity, what made you think I was a past member?

And I invite a mod to check my IP if you doubt my newness. LOL

<Why?>

My thoughts exactly. The thing is.. it's an invasion of privacy if you're filming others without their permission. (assuming you're in a public place with other people around.) And then doing what with it? Putting it on the internet? Not cool. Legal I suppose, but still not cool.

But then again, I think drones are evil so I'm a bit biased...
