Active track following a speed boat

[Spy_Corfu]

This is one of several videos of active track mode while driving my speed boat.
I was very impressed with the speed and accuracy of the mavic pro.
I tried most of the active track options like profile and rotation around the boat while moving forward and all worked just fine.
Note that i used an ND32 filter as the boat really reflects the sun light.
Also note that the mavic recognized the moving object as a boat while on active track .. there was a little boat symbol in the middle of the screen!!
Very impressed!

Fantastic!

Like how the Mavic kept up with you and the close / wide shots it got are great.

Very impressive! How fast were you going? I really need to get out and learn the intelligent features of my Mavic.

 

[Snoweman]

I take it you were in sport mode. Correct?

Very cool video and nice looking rig but that is a far cry from a "speed boat" sir!

 

[Aidi]

That's pretty cool. And great footage. Imagine, if you wanted footage like this only a few years ago, you'd be looking at $$$$ it get anywhere near this.

Love your video, Also, love Corfu, met my wife whilst on holiday there many years ago. It's a beautiful Island

It's like having Steven Spielberg in your pocket. Nice!

 

[Keule]

Very cool video!

 

[J3ffrey]

Sweet video! I'd like to do the same for my boat

 

[Kestrel]

Yeah I've followed boats before. I the mavic keeps up pretty good.

 

[NickB]

Awesome!

Fantastic footage, beautiful. How fast were you going? Very dramatic video

 

[Gerry65]

Very cool and impressive work by your bird. Yeah, you must've been in sport mode but I'm curious as others are how fast you were going most of the time. Do you know when you switched to profile mode? It looks like it around the 2:40 min mark.

And how high was Mavic flying most of the time? especially curious at 1:45-1:50 mark....

I am looking to do the same this summer when we go up to the lake often.

That did work very well. The software seems to be trimmed for typical shapes like bikes, boats, persons. I recently tried to track a recumbent trike with disappointing results. Mavic couldn't hold onto the object for longer than 15 secs.

Excellent video. That inspired me to take my boat out in the next few days and attempt the same.

about 30 miles on my boat

of course not as active track works only on normal mode.. it would not be able to track the boat automatically
