    Why does Active Track with Smartphone+RC work much better than with Smartphone only?

    Hi, I had some issues with active track using Smartphone only mode with Wifi. Even to get a lock on me was nearly impossible even with perfect conditions: good contrast, close enough, sunny day. Then (on the same day, only a few minutes later) I put the same smartphone in the RC and switched...

    Quickshot mode or Active track

    Hello everyone, I have already tried the Quickshot mode, but yesterday I was test it again and when I chose the option Active track was activated instead. Does anybody know why? Very strange that everytime I picked up the Quickshot mode, I "draw" the square around the subject and the app showed...

    Active Track

    i am keen to use active track to follow a moving target along a path. On the left side of the track are trees and on right side open fields. I want to fly below the tree line and only to the right of the track (so I don’t hit the trees) without any circling. Any ideas?

    RTH minimum altitude of 20m...why so high?

    We just purchased a Mavic for a shoot in which we will be following ATVs along a mountain trail with trees all around us and above us (we'll be under the canopy). If the drone flies upward 20m for any kind of RTH, it's going to end up stuck in a tree. I'm unclear on why the minimum RTH is so...

    Drone eating tree

    You've heard of Charlie Brown's kite eating tree? But have you heard about Daufuski Island's drone eating trees? My family and I vacationed recently on Daufusky Island, SC - a short ferry ride from Hilton Head. Had a great stay on this historically interesting and lovely island. On our last day...

    Mountain Bike with Mavic Active Track Profile Mode

    A small mountain bike ride without the Mavic DJI in the backpack. This tracking technology is absolutely brilliant. Everything is not perfect as one might think, it is necessary to correct by rolling altitude the avoidance of lateral obstacles ... It is not possible to practice mountain biking...

    Active Track after new firmware update...

    I'm a part 107 license holder, I don't really have an issue with the NFZ stuff as I really have no interest in flying in areas I shouldn't be flying in. I know how to read a sectional chart and I stay clear of restricted areas. However, I live near Annapolis, MD which is close enough to...

    Gimbal locked up during Active Track, overload, wheel error [video]

    Had a strange gimbal failure yesterday while using Active Track. As the subject changed directions and started running, the Mavic seemed to just barely maintain its target, but before it could start moving the gimbal threw itself into an awkward angle and got stuck. Here's the video: Dropbox -...

    Active Track: Can someone review this quick clip and tell me what I did wrong?

    Hi everyone: Recent Mavic Pro purchase and I am loving it, and trying to test all the features out. Today I did an Active Track of my nephew and it worked perfectly as he descended down trail. He stopped, turned around then came back up the trail and walked underneath the Mavic. That's...

    My Parrot is collecting dust.

    Hey, I'm new here, I loved my Parrot but I shelved it for a Mavic. I'm going to keep the Parrot for potential suicide missions. I don't know if you can open the link below, but it is the video I made with my Parrot Bebop 2 Follow Me. Does anyone think the Active Track will work as well as the...

    Having problem with active track. Only seems to want to "trace".

    I'm VERY new at this, and have been watching a few Youtube videos on how to use ActiveTrack. Every video I've seen, when the ActiveTrack icon is pushed, EVERYONE gets 3 choices down the right side of the screen. When I push Activetrack it immediately goes to Trace. I can't, for the love of me...

    Active Track while climbing or descending a mountain - it works!

    hello all. after reading a few posts on here on this topic I went out and tested this for myself today, so I wanted to share the results.. which are VERY positive! On this forum I read people not having much joy or certainty about the MP being able to follow a subject up AND down a hill. Well...
