Today while flying my new Mavic pro, I wanted to test the drones obstacle avoidance feature, both in normal flight, and in active track.

In normal operation, the drone avoided poles approximately 4 inches wide and didn't have a problem. When I decided it was safe enough to try out the active track and see how it responded by itself, complete failure struck! I had it approximately 2.5m from the ground, and tracking me in profile mode. The drone managed to fly straight into a pole almost half a meter wide, head on. Unfortunately the collision didn't record- it cut out seconds before. Anyone else have a similar experience, or can recommend anything I might have done wrong to cause this? It was a really nice day, sunny and wind wasn't close to excessive for the mavic.
 
Obstacle avoidance is only forward. In profile mode it flies sideways to film from that angle and can't avoid obstacles.
