Did Air 2S keep up with me skiing? Success and failure using ActiveTrack 4.0 on DJI Fly 

I love that these videos are mostly these dudes looking back to make sure it's following still

You really need a skydio 2+ for this kinda of thing, the tracking is gps based with the beacon and you’ll have a lot more success

I really liked the scenery. Thanks for sharing.

I feel your pain. I have the same issues overland in New Mexico. Net, net it isn’t the 2s strong suit. Shadows, trees, evolving shapes all add to 2s confusion and are unfortunately a part of active tracking any active athletic or motor sport subject.

Crazy thought. Maybe... Just maybe the reflection or brightness in the back ground from the snow. I wonder because when you were skiing on snow that was packed down already, it seemed to do much better... Also the shadows from the trees.

Incrível!!! Que lugar diferente e lindo! Você é muito corajoso! Deus abençoe você!

Interesting video I am not sure why it keeps losing visual of you. I have tested mine and it has been absolutely flawless. Maybe it is because of the snow making it difficult to track. I have a few videos on my channel letting it follow me on my bike riding on the trails and it has been very accurate and avoided tree branches etc.

I dont know if you know this little trick yet but this i what my friend did . He had and extended usb chord connected to his phone and he would keep his phone where it is easy to access, you can also set new homepoint based on your location aswell

It's disappointing that Active Track is still so crap for skiing. You would expect the high contrast of a dark skier against completely white ground would be easy for it. At least it looks like the newer ones do follow you down the hill though and maintain consistent height off the ground. With my OG Mavic Pro it would just stay at the same horizontal level throughout the flight, meaning it would end up very high above you once you've gone downslope, very annoying!

Looks like the tracks in the deep snow was throwng it off. Brighter clothes could help with deep powder. Yor image appeared to blend in on turns confusing the drone.

how did you climb the mountain using cable car or just walking to the top?

Your problem in the upper path was the line, your skies drew. The KI can't handle it, when the ground under the object changes.

I think the drone is acting weird cuz of the cold temperature. my go pro 8 never gets recorded correctly once it becomes really cold. It affects the battery and the device itself. But your footage looks pretty good! hope DJI and Go pro come up with a better solution when in a cold climate. @2:23 is a great shot! @1:45 is a great shot too. I don't think I would use "ActiveTrack Parallel mode" for my video from watching your footage. Good to know!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had issues with active track. Looks like this feature is unreliable on the Air2s.

Where is this? Smithers?

It is not bad. Still good track. But you would choose more close distance to follow you back..

Is it better just use the phone to control the drone when u skiing

i was torn between mini 2 and this one i almost bought this just for snowboarding but i think mini 2 will be the first drone what you think bro ?

If AT 4.0 is this tetchy with one isolated subject on a white canvas, how bad was version 1.0? 😂 TBF though, it did seem to have more trouble when you weren't moving through the frame laterally. It was like it didn't interpret your diminishing size in the frame as you having moved away.

That's cool! But honestly I expected the drone to follow you a bit better. Gonna try it out tomorrow by running through a forest! Wish me good luck that my drone doesn't crash into a tree. *fingers crossed*

Nice

I can't even use parallel for some reason

Active Track 5.0 on the Mavic 3 isn't any better...lol. If DJI doesn't fix it probably going Skydio 2+

that left and right camera panning back and forth is disorienting and does not look good. A lil bummed. I feel like my mavic 2 had better active track. Thanks for uploading

Good video, maybe you should try next time with brighter clothes or a color that is easier for the drone to recognize.

I WAS SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS BUT IT REALLY LET ME DOWN!!I JUST PURCHASED THE DJI MAVIC 2s WITH RC CONTROLLER AND I HAVENT EVEN TAKEN IT OUT OF THE BOX BUT AFTER SEEING THIS I THINK IT WAS A BAD PURCHASE ALSO THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO CAUSE I REALLY SEE THIS DRONE ISNT WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE!!!

👍

How cold was It?

It doesnt want to drop its attitude

I'm just wondering how you had the entire mountain to yourself!!! lol

Lanyard. 🎉

yikes the drone shouldn't normally be tracking this bad should it?

Not a fan of this, gonna buy the skydio i think

Yikes 😬. Not impressed with its performance, skiing looks like a blast though!! 🙌🤙 Yeeeew

until these "user friendly" drones can track me at minimal 50kph, I'll just stick to beeing manually recorded 😂 but to be sirious,i think the lens suffers from snow glare

Нарушитель законов) С коптера видео так себе. С камеры на палке гораздо эффектней

Merci pour la video ...j'ai aussi un air 2s et je fait beaucoup de video en skis et je conseille grandement le suivi sur neige avec litchi ... beaucoup plus efficace car le drone ne perd jamais sa cible ..autre avantage non negligeable ,on peut fimer en 4k 60fps et on peu aussi zoomer donc un grand plus par apport à l'application dji !! bonne continuation....ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4icq56pyxzw.htmlsi=cITz3wPmh_7WJQv2

Someone is throwing this off … my guess is the sea of snow and you being too far away.

my mavic air 2 actually does a better job. idk

Not a good active tracking system 😒😒😒😒

100% not in the right mode
