    I'm looking at getting a drone to be able to take aerial videos and photos. Any good recommendations will be purchased using CP currency. Thanks.

      Take a look at the DJI Mavic Mini. It can fly for half an hour and with the weight of 249 g it's license free in most countries.

        Oh, ya, I had completely forgotten about that. Not that I care much, but I guess I'll look into my local ordinances. Thanks.

            If you're going on a bicycle holiday you might want to look at the big brother, DJI Mavic 2. It has a built in obstacle avoidance system and ActiveTrack, which means you can set yourself as the target and it will follow you on your bicycle. And amazingly enough it can do that not just behind you, but in front of you or at your side! I have one and it was quite a wtf moment when I started tracking my son from the side and it didn't fall back behind him but rather stayed at the side of him. But all those cameras it uses for obstacle avoidance takes quite som space and weight, so it weighs 907g instead of 249g and requires registration in many most countries.

              yeah, I need the functionality of the the DJI Mavic 2 in the smaller package :-) typical consumer, more functionality in a smaller package please In all seriousness, I do need to look more into this, 30 minute flight time for the smaller model may be an issue, so I would have to keep 'n' batteries charged - may be too much pfaffing around on a holiday. I see plenty of cycle-touring on YouTube though, so I'd like to give it a shot - would also mean changing my standard route to learn/test it, I doubt the prison I pass by in close proximity would like it (actually I have an app by our Civil Aviation regulation authority which marks the prison as an obvious no-fly zone) cheers for your input Jörgen

                The bigger model also have 30 minutes flight time, so no difference there. But you can get extra batteries or the fly more combo for both. <edit>and no fly zones are builtin to the drone. It won't fly without an overrule</edit>

                  Just a few days ago, my Mavic Air 2 Combo Fly More Combo arrived. I only had time to do some small tests with it, but I am more than impressed. Highly recommended.
