I'm a photographer and have been testing the cameras on my Mavic 4 while using Active Track. Testing the limits is always a good learning experience. Here all these 3 pics(shot RAW) were photographed at 1/8th sec using a ND64. Once the drone is in position and tracking the subject accurately my keeper rates were surprisingly good for a very slow shutter speed. I've owned many drones and this one has the best cameras I've used on a prosumer drone. Pretty impressed so far!

Very nicely done. I'm astonished that a two-pound flying camera could be stable enough to capture something so sharp at 1/8 second.

What speed were you running? Were you shooting in burst mode? Any tips for those of us who might like to try something similar?
