Here is the video clip - just a quick edit of 18 minutes of flying down to 2.20 minutes. It was very windy, and a cross wind, so sorry for some of jerky manoeuvres. At 1.05 min your can see some of the risks, lucky I saw the extra large tree as we turned the corner and took the drone up higher, probably cleared it by 5 metres or more but at 40kph or so there would not be much left of the Phantom if I hit it.

The opening clip we are doing about 60kph to catch up to the Phantom, and I was about 5m off the ground, way below tree level and watching the drone through the windscreen, as soon as I lost sight of it I had to go up quickly so not to hit the trees. According to the flight record I as doing 14.5m/s which is 50kph, pretty fast for a little camera drone. I tried to fly next to the car, but there was just not enough space and I could not see where I was flying and would most likely had hit a tree so I just stuck to the in front or behind shots.
About halfway into the flight, the warning came on that I had almost reached the point of no return - the P3 estimates how much battery life it needs to get home. If I had not ignored hit the "Cancel" button, it would have turned around and went back to the start point. I reset the Home point about halfway through to stop the warning from coming up every so often. If it had lost signal, it would have returned to that "home point"
This is the flight record from the DJI Go App for the long flight. I landed an fitted the ND8 filter after the first 3 minutes of so after seeing the shutter speed was too high and it started a new flight record.
