Active track problem....

[jimmyboards]

Tried active track for the first time at different heights, just wonder if someone has had similar experience and if height was the cause of my issue:

At approx 80-90m altitude with active track activated the mavic was rocking backward and forward quiet aggressively, noticing something was wrong on my video feed I immediately bought her down, at around 30m altitude I canceled active track and the bird held her ground again.

Simply just walking along the beach, against our Australian white sand (I was wearing a white singlet) I simply think it was just struggling to locate me, no one else on the beach it was deserted. Any input though is welcome.

Don't trust active tracking.
It only works quite close to a subject, loses it easily, and can make your drone behave very unpredictable. Too many combinations of variables the programming doesn't account for. A full speed crash into the subject is one of the dangers. Believe me, I have seen it happen during controlled testing.

active track will need some contrast to lock on, at 30m white on white it will struggle.

I would think at 80m plus it hunting to trying to keep a lock on you. I would come closer
