What a great find- I have spent the last couple of days looking at flight controllers for my quad to do the same thing- if I can make it work will let
you know- for any of the rc geeks- am looking at an apm 2.6 and then telemetry radio for the follow me setup

Very cool. Drones are just getting cheaper, smarter and smaller every day. Soon they'll be fly sized then flea sized then what? Dust size?
I love Nahant but rarely get there anymore.

At faster speeds in buggy (25+mph) you will have the drone falling farther and farther behind you..until you wait for it to catch up....(or never see
it again!)
And it states a Max. following height of only 50 ft....?
Your drone is in other kite buggiers' kites flight altitudes...... if anyone is catching up or overtaking you...or coming from opposite direction.
Will it not fly physically higher or is this just a 'Max'
for best filming(distance from subject) ?

Well, I can see myself using this on my local beach for sure, but it wouldn't be much use to me at a place like Jekyll where I might take off at
40+mph for 6 straight miles. Even racing quad copters don't really sustain any kind of speed like that for more than a few seconds. It would be
awesome for side shore days though!
