Mavic Pro Platinum Drone Crashes chasing me Quad Running

rconradvt · Jun 11, 2020

I put my MPP to the test chasing me on my Can-Am quad runner. I had a few problems with active track dropping out and a couple of crashes into vegetation. I cut the video together, so you all can see what happened. I was having a hard time getting active track to stay locked on me. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Bonus: There are a couple of really cool shots, and who does not like to see crashes?

1st crash at 1:00
2nd crash at 4:25
Active track drops out at 3:15, 5:30, and 6:40.

Cringe worthy, but i enjoyed the vid ! I'll be interested to see if my new Mavic 2 Pro tracks better.

Thanks for the video. I also tried Actie Track with my Mavic Pro. lI had it follow a friend on a bicycle that was on a running track around a soccer field. 2/3 the way around the end curve the Mavic just stopped following her. I would also appreciate any suggestions or observations about Active Track.

All options are slide to green. Just checked to be sure., Thanks, that definitely would have helped.

I agree, but I learn so much from this forum and watching others mistakes. It is sometimes so painful to watch.
