Mini 4 PRO - Active track 360 height with tracking cars

[IBL]

I was very exited to use the active track 360 for car photography. I like to fly backwards side/front of a car with an ND filter and take photos with nice background blur. The car doesn’t have to go over 30 km/h to reach this effect. However, the 360 mode is very limited when it detects a car. Only one ring is available vs. 2 rings with human tracking and the drone immediately increases height to more than 5m when it tracks a car. I want to fly on 1 - 1,5m in front of the car, so ended up doing it manually again like I do with my other drones. Is there any way to decrease the height when doing 360 track with cars? Manually it won’t decrease height when in tracking mode. It’s useless this way :-(

Got a nice pic though, but was done manually:

Does "nifty" mode make any difference?

Does "nifty" mode make any difference?

that’s an interesting suggestion, haven’t tried that. Wil try asap…

Watching.

Anyone have a solution? Someone said to reduce the drones max height to make it follow cars lower

Go into the focus track settings where you should be able to adjust inner and outer ring max and min distances and heights. Don’t forget that about 2m is the minimum flight altitude without turning off lower sensors.

Thanks BossBob, but there are no options for that for vehicles

Ever thought of not telling the drone it’s a vehicle (turn off subject scan and select the ‘object’ manually) and seeing what happens?
How about setting to run trace in parallel and putting the drone on the front quarter?

It recognises as a boat even if manually selected (box drawn) .
Out the front doesn't work as the drone can really only track from behind despite the 360 . Pretty useless really considering the hype about 360 sensors and it's tracking ability.
I think the processor can't handle all the sensors data unless the drone is going really slow.
