Hi!
I've been flying Mavic Air 1 for years. I mainly use it to track a velomobile. It works ok. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. (Before Mavic Air I had Parrot Bebop and it had excelent follow me function, so moving to Mavic Air made the experience worse). But I would like to upgrade to a newer drone. I bought Mini 3 Pro, because of it's small and compact size and it suppousedly has better active track. But turns out it's actually way worse than the original Mavic Air.
First of all most of the time it doesn't recognise my velomobile as a vehicle so it just refuses to track. If I position the drone to the side of the velomobile then it might think it's a car and I can activate the active track. When the velomobile starts to move, the drone just goes crazy. It doesn't know what it is looking at. It tries to follow the velomobile for a while but it just can't figure out should it go closer or futher away from the object or should it go left or right. It's just all over the place until it decides it's not a car and says "object lost" or the velomobile goes outside of the frame.
This is just stupid. There's this only orange thing in miles and it just can't track it. At least the object isn't blending in the backround. (see the attached photo)
Now can you tell me if there's something I can do to make Mini 3 Pro to track this thing on the photo? Or can you point me to some other drone which can do it? (I would like to get the Skydio 2, but it's not available here in Finland)
Thanks for help!
