Some lo tech drone filming from afar would have been so much better. I can understand the excitement translating in the filming style but come on.

I just don't understand asking a human to run the camera drone.

Presumably there's more than one of these, have one follow and rely on the pace drone for positioning.

It was pretty hard to watch, but really watching sensing and localization applied in a 3D space is extremely cool.

maybe a camera drone would see the one in front as an obstacle and constantly try to turn away from it :)

To do that reliably, I think both vehicles would need to know their absolute positions with high resolution (spatial and time). Could be a separate research project given how small their planes are.

Many of the fragments in the video would be a lot more interesting if they lasted longer than a second. This is edited to seem exciting, not to show what the actual capabilities and limitations are.
