Tracking a dog

[JoelP]

I know this topic has come up before the Mavic 3, but wondered if anyone has had success with the Mavic 3 to use active track for a dog. I tried it in normal mode for a black lab and it seemed to begin to work but wouldn’t stay locked on. I may try again another day in sport mode since the dog I want to track is pretty quick.

I can imagine that a GPU like those from Nvidia have built-in recognition of people and a whole raft of common items, but don’t know enough about the system architecture of the Mavic 3 to know if it has a GPU or that level of image processing capability for tracking specific items.

I had the opportunity to video a dog being trained to duck hunt and thought that active track would be an ideal way to capture this, but ended up flying this manually.

I've tried tracking my dog a number of times at different altitudes and distances with my Mavic 3 Cine but the active track just won't lock onto the dog.

Active track is designed to track people and cars. It usually won't work with any other object like a dog that doesn't look like a person or a vehicle. Just track them manually, as you did.
