You can see the drone legs in the corner of a few frames. Wonder if there's a way to avoid that.
(Also considerate of you to use the turnouts when faster traffic was behind. I have long considered installing some sort of bullhorn or PA system in
my car to remind slower traffic to use the turnouts, particularly when driving up to and down from Big Bear.)

This is the Phantom 3 and the first time I've seen it do it. They came out with the Phantom 4 this year, not sure if it would do it. It's only
happens when it needs to make an extreme turn, so avoiding making it do that (i.e. a less windy road or driving slower) would be the the only way to
stop it.
DJI also makes the the Inspire and on it the landing gear goes up after take off.
Can you set the height above the ground you want it to fly? How fast can you go go and have it keep up?
You can set the flight height either above where you power on or set it above the height of the mobile device that is controlling it. I set it 200
feet above the mobile device, that way it goes up or down as you move. It gets tricky though as you descend. You can see it getting close to the
ground at the end where the mountain is steep right next to the road.
You can also set the distance you want it to stay from you and if you want it to follow or lead you as you move. The top speed of the P3 is about
38mph. I had it in lead mode, but if you go faster than it can fly it will lag behind you, and then try to correct once you slow down.
The P4 can go almost 50mph and also has optical sensors on the front and bottom to avoid obstacles.
They say 23 mins for the P3 and 28 minutes for P4. In reality it's closer to 15 mins for the P3. I never let it get below 25% on the battery. Have
3 batteries total and thinking about buying a 4th.
Do you have the P3 Standard or the 4K version? I have the Standard and just did a Follow Me through the village of Bahia Asuncion this morning. Pretty
cool footage about an hour after sunrise. Unfortunately the internet service is pretty sketchy here so uploading these big video files is next to
impossible.

P3 pro. I used the Litchi app to control it instead of the DJI Go App. You should check it out, you can use it to set up waypoints.
Although I find them very cool and someday I might even get one, I can see that they can be a huge invasion of privacy.
My wife and I have a very private backyard with pool. Just yesterday, our new neighbors (we have not met yet) launched a drone while we were enjoying
our pool time. Although, the drone was in their "airspace" it was high above the trees looking down at us. The high pitched buzz was annoying also.
My wife was very ticked off about it.
I so wanted to shoot it down but that is a big no no
I did get a chuckle when the guy messed up the landing. I heard it hit hard or caught on something.
