Abstract: The invention relates to a system for shooting moving images, includes a drone provided with a camera and a ground station communicating with the drone, the camera being directed along a sight axis, the displacements of the drone being defined by flight instructions applied to a set of propulsion units of the drone, the drone being adapted to fly autonomously to shoot moving images of a target moving with the ground station. The system includes control means configured to generate the flight instructions so as to hold substantially constant the angle between the sight axis of the camera and the direction of displacement of the target upon activation of the target tracking. The ground station includes means, controlled by at least one piloting means forming a button for activating the target tracking, to alternatively switch the drone piloting mode between a mode of activation of the target tracking system and a deactivation mode.
