Thanks for the suggestion, but I live in a densely forested area, so for the most part I would prefer to have obstacle avoidance enabled. ;)

Thanks for the advice. I was just surprised it behaved the same way with Sports mode enabled which I thought disabled them. I just flew after the sun when over the horizon and had no issues.

Yes, I am positive, Multiple Flight Modes was activated and the physical switch set to Sport Mode. It said it was in sport mode on the controller and flies noticeably more sporty. ;)

Aren't the sensors disabled in Sport mode?

I was flying away from the sun (for the most part) with it low on the horizon - which seemed fine. Flying it back (towards the low sun) is when its speed was throttled.

I was just flying my Mavic Pro at 400 feet AGL - well above all trees and obstacles. I wasn't using any tracking modes; just full manual flight control. I flew it out about a mile and on the way back it was only going like 3 miles per hour. It was also giving me occasional false obstacle...

Thanks for telling me what I already know. That is why I am asking if there is anyway to make the tracking less sluggish than it is by default. If I could just tweak the D parameter of the PID it would probably work much much better (at the same time making the tracking less smooth). Besides...

Hi Chris, Thanks for the suggestion, however, I am not having problem with acceleration (I am careful to accelerate/decelerate gently). The problem is once the subject is moving, the Mavic is headed for the trees - its tracking is simply way too over-damped. Jet ski's and boats don't have the...

I have found that the Mavic Pro does a fairly good job following if the subject is at around walking speed (on curvy roads/trails with bushes and obstacles on the sides). As soon as the subject gets up to any reasonable speed, it follows like a drunk driver. It seems like the damping (of PID) is...
