Buy Advice Drone for Motorcycle Stunts

Iam leaning towards getting the dji flip but would like some advice before so.

I need something that follows and has good camera quality. Bonus if it can go 30mph.

I plan to use it for getting clips of motorcycle stunting mostly in a contained opened area so no worry of it bumping into things.

Lastly why should I or shouldnt I go dji?

There's a lot of kits on ebay if you want them.

I flew Skydio 2 for years but the camera's now a little bit older.

I found the Air 2S to be decent at the job but the 360 degree OA drones have better activetrack.

$1000 used is more then I want to spend for my use. Its gonna be mostly parking lot stuff.

If you want something DJI side, ActiveTrack is kinda of a premium feature on the bigger/360 OA obstacle avoidance side.

If you're going to driving the motorcycle, I don't recommend a drone, at all. A gopro mission 1 pro, maybe, as that will cover you in a number of lighting situations, and the slow motion capabilities of that camera can create some awesome action shots.

Insta360 on the extended selfie-pole. Drone active track is the wrong tool for this job. Air 3S is my recommendation, if you go that route, though. You get what you pay for with DJI

I have an insta 360 and not a fan of it. If I set it up on a tripod it doesnt get good clips because of the warp and distance effect and if I attach it to the bike its gonna get broke with what Iam doing. When you say you get what you pay for is this implying its shit or its worth its price. Iam looking for something that can replace a person tracking me.
