Rigging, How Far Is Too Far..

It is indeed. I've scrapped a lot of content recently.

How about that new drone that follows you around and takes video of you?

The one called Solo? Looks pretty cool for off-roaders and extreme sports guys and gals, depends what you're doing though. Unless you're doing jumps/tricks or have nice scenery it might look a bit boring just seeing someone riding along normally.

That go pro set up reminds me of a tv show that used to come on mtv called "fear." they put those set ups on people facing them with lights shining in their face and make them walk around scary ass fucking places. reactions were always hilarious.

It'd be great for a making a film.. which I plan to do in the not too distant future so thanks for the share.. its not an everyday use item thats for sure, unless you like just being silly..

Exactly that. Perfect for a film, not for daily use.
Apart from that, I thinks that system is PERFECT for climbing. One of my favourite sports is climbing, and you only can get the forehead POV, which being sooo close to the rock is quite a shit. But this third person RIG would be amazing for that.

Those drones things are still new and need to be improved, at least for motorcycle riding, because they can't keep pace (if following closely), so they have to hover high up and use wide angle (less movement required), plus I'm pretty sure they haven't perfected collision avoidance for the drone, so following you on the street probably not possible without crashing into a light post or wires. Last but not least, the battery life / air time is just too short for any decent "follow me" footage.

In the future with advancement in technology I'm pretty sure having personal drones following you around would be a reality.

That is cool as hell

Looks heaps cool but I can see you getting in trouble using one in Australia.

If you are referring to the GoPole it's actually collapsible (monopod) so when not in use it doesn't stick out at all, but I don't know the law, been through a police road block the officer thought it was a bat/weapon or something, saw the GoPro at the end and just waved me through.
