Just exactly how good is the obstacle avoidance ?

[glocke12]

I have an area near my house that I can walk through that is wooded, with a trail that is probably 5-6 feet wide, that narrows down to about 3-5 feet wide in spots where branches or shrubbery encroaches on the trail. Overhead, Id say on average the vertical clearance ranges from maybe 8 feet upwards to 20 feet.

I've thought about using my mini 4 pro in AI tracking mode to follow me on a walk through this area, but I have not done so yet because Im not sure just how smart the obstacle avoidance is.

With the mini 4 pro do what I want it do in this area ?

O/A is a lot better than it was three years ago, but still nowhere near as good as the advertising videos claim it is.

There is only one way you'll find out, but the weight of available evidence and experience leans heavily towards you ending up playing hunt-the-drone in the shrubbery.

Walk it first, checking that there are no leafless fine branches. Then fly it manually to check that you can fly the route. Then go for it. I was pleasantly surprised when my Mini 4 pro was able to follow me for over 100m along a woodland path coping with rise and fall of the path and intrusions by branches. I wouldn’t go off path with the drone as it will probably just confuse it. The most annoying part of it all was the constant row of the proximity alerts coming from the remote. That speaker is going to have to be attended to!
