Much smoother than the last footage you posted, nice :-) A bit of advice from an old camera operator, try not to change direction on the flight path while the gyro head is moving. Ideally each panning and tilting action needs to start and stop at the same time that the tracking (flight) action stops and starts. Watching some tracking shots in a drama is a good way to pin down what camera moves work and how they do that. You'll notice that as the actor leaves one mark the camera will start dollying/tilting/panning at the same moment. This is timed so that the camera arrives at the next position at the same time as the actor and the motion stops. In long sequences of live action like you have here, it works best to break the flight up into shots, starting from a fixed and still point each time, as the karts come into an empty frame the motion of the shot starts and finishes when the motion of the karts leave., hopefully entering the shot of another camera. The copter can then return to number one to await the next pass. Hope that helps?
