(Links above help support the channel! Thanks!!)
Here's all the details on how Active Track 2.0 really works on the new DJI Mavic 2 (Pro and Zoom models). Does it finally follow properly? And did you know the WiFi/Phone option is now gone? Also, what features are missing or better compared to the Spark, Mavic Air and Mavic Pro? I dive into all the details with multiple test runs in full 4K footage with shots from both the Zoom and Pro/Hassleblad models (most shots are with the Zoom variant).
I cover all the details of how Active Track 2.0 has changed, including the new higher speed limits, 3D mapping using imaging sensors, and much more.
Everything in this video from the air is shot with a Mavic 2 Zoom or Mavic 2 Pro in 4K/30FPS (normal picture profile, no grading/post-production editing). It was uploaded as a FCP-X ProRes export in 4K to RU-vid. Ground-camera shots are from the DSLR camera listed below.

@VickersDoorter 5 лет назад

As delivery of mine is imminent this video was very useful, as I'm planning on using my M2Pro when out cycling and rowing training. I was surprised though at it losing you relatively easily. It's shame that there is not a back-up facility to lock onto a transmitted signal from the subject. I guess that's going to be in the Mavic 3, next year...

@urgyanlotos1333 5 лет назад

@Geologist_Mike 5 лет назад

So it can’t automatically fly through quickly-moving giant piles of weeds that appear to the sensors to be jumping in front of it. Just fly a few meters higher and I think it would have worked better.

Nice demonstration of the new Active Track 2.0! I definetely can see some improvements, 1.0 was a bit sketchy. Thanks for sharing this video!

@SaveTheManuals 5 лет назад

This was a great video! Looks like Active Track 2.0 has matured over its 1.0 version, but still has a lot more room to improve. Many of the same issues that stop tracking in 1.0 came up here in 2.0 as well. Thanks again for this great demo!

@Dcrainmaker 5 лет назад

Agree. I think the biggest takeaway from this is that it's finally viable for at least some b-roll. Definitely not yet to the point of the Airdog where you can legit go for a 15 minute (battery time in that case) ride across mountains and it'll 100% be there with you. But certainly an improvement. Plus, Airdog of course can't avoid obstacles.

@christianlionel1988 5 лет назад

Great video and extensive testing. Do you know if this is the same story with the Mavic 2 Pro? Now I am be clutching at straws here but will the Mavic 2 Pro be better at active track purely based on having a better camera to track you with? Thanks

@luckybastardshawaii2834 5 лет назад

@ModernMoose1 5 лет назад

Great vid, thank you! I am actually curious how you recorded the audio. I want to use the active track almost like a second shooter so I can conduct an interview while I am walking. Did you just use a lav mic? sounds like it did really well with the end and everything

@fourtraxer 5 лет назад

The times it lost you was because you didn't have it high enough IMO. If you want to shoot that low with bushes like that, you should expect stoppages. I'd like to see the results with the drone a little higher.

@Dcrainmaker 5 лет назад

It was still mixed a bit higher. Definitely in both cases it stopped here it was due to seeing the bushes. But, that's actually the exact (and only) scenario that DJI highlights in their launch video and on the main Mavic 2 page. If you scroll down on that page you see the runner in the trees with the drone low.

@Neukids 5 лет назад

Agree, your comment saved me from typing a long message. 《Or did it ?)

@lanyusea 5 лет назад

It seems the active track logic is quite tough in the manual: 1. It can only bypass the obstacles automatically in Trace mode with no action applied on remote controller. I just checked the scenes when it stopped (I may missed some). either in Parallel mode, or you touched the roll stick to make it circle (I guessed from the drone behavior). I saw some videos show the drone can bypass the trees in Trace mode. Hope can do better in all-direction bypassing, also considering the user's input.

@gaborpetroci 5 лет назад

So it dont have, follow the vector of last known speed and direction (heading)

@tapiva 4 года назад

@@Dcrainmaker If you use the stick control it seems to lose the autotrace function. I think you should have used the slider in order to get the tracking to work with re-positioning the drone and not with the controller knob. There also flashed Go! in front of the target, so if you would hit the "Go!" it would resume back to tracing and catch up with the target. It seems it did not lose the target but it lost the control of trace like cars lose the cruise control when driver uses brake or clutch at the last run. The first run the bushes made it to lose target.

@mikesurft9838 5 лет назад

Great Review about the active track feature! But I'm amazed that this highly developed drone is still so poor with it's auto follow functions. It still looses often connection. And why don't they make a water proof tracker (maybe as an additional accessory)??? Me as a wind and kitesurfer I use the Staaker drone. This one never looses connection, and has a small waterproof tracker which you just strap around your arm, and it's ready to go. It flies all by itself, even in strong winds. Such a pity for this great new magic drone. Dji definitely has the technology, but their just not building it in a drone...

@400AGLNET 5 лет назад

Great video, but I'd like to mention that I didn't recall seeing you turn on APAS, Does APAS work while in active track or other flight modes? I think DJI was bragging up the better software in the APAS setting so if APAS was not active or cannot be active while in auto flight modes I can see where that may become an issue for some. If APAS does work during auto flight modes then it's a huge win for everyone, Including DJI.

@DigitalicaEG 5 лет назад

Can you do a side by side comparison with older models (Mavic air for example) of active track 1.0 vs 2.0

Today there has been an update on the ActiveTrack 2.0 feature. I really wonder if it improved over this video.

@cusebike5391 5 лет назад

Thanks, Ray. It's not quite where I need it to be but DJI is heading in the right dirction. Sony has a new APSC camera coming out soon so the camera budget may be tied up this year.

@Dcrainmaker 5 лет назад

I hear ya on camera budgets, so many new cameras coming out. I've got pre-orders in for two new Black Magic cameras...but man, these other options are tempting me as well!

@JeremiahMcintosh 5 лет назад

Job well done worthy of a subscriber! I like that you had it low to show the limitations and sensing capabilities dodging those bushes. It looked like it dodged a few but also got held up on some too. On the last one it stopped but never lost you I wonder if it needs a software update like another commenter said? Also what’s the max speed (mph) you can track in safe mode with the sensors on? I would like to see a focus comparison test between the pro and zoom since zoom has hybrid focus? Also I wonder if separate two tracks better with active track in low lighting conditions since it has a bigger sensor? Can’t wait to see more!

@Dcrainmaker 5 лет назад

It's on the latest production software (and was when this was filmed on Saturday). It shows as fully updated in app - both then and today. Good question on tracking better in low-lighting, not sure, would be a fun one to test - especially perhaps in trees in such. Active Track 2.0 limits the 'Safe' speed checkbox at 12 meters/second, which is 26MPH. However, even that's a little unclear. As deciphering the manual on this (page 22 specifically), is that forward 'safe' obstacle avoidance speed limit is 31MPH and 27MPH backwards. Lateral is 18MPH. I suppose the differences here are minor, but, fwiw, there they are.

@JeremiahMcintosh 5 лет назад

DC Rainmaker awesome thank you so much for the info ! That’s what I was looking for! I would love to see if there is a difference in the way the zoom vs the pro2 focuses since the zoom has hybrid (phase detection) focus? Not sure if the pro 2 has it? I’m still undecided between the two🤔 Keep up the great videos I can’t wait to see the next ones!

BUMMER

@mrsilverstig 5 лет назад

Awesome video Ray! Just wanted to know where in the Netherlands was the track that you filmed the video?

@TandemAdventurers 5 лет назад

Dude. First off, FANTASTIC review here!!! Well done. Your video has addressed some of my biggest concerns and questions about the new Mavic 2. As a cyclist and a creator myself, intelligent automatic flight modes are extremely important to me (for the same reasons you have noted), as well as the ability to be controlled with just a phone only, without the need, added complexity, and bulk of a controller. DJI seems to have made some minor improvements with the Active Track 2.0 but you have shown these improvements to be marginal at best over the previous version. It still doesn't appear to work well enough to be practical in real world conditions. The Parrot drones still reign king when comes to auto-tracking and for the price of one new Mavic 2 Zoom I can nearly buy 2 of the new Parrot Anafi drones (which now have equally good cameras & camera features unlike the Bebop 2 predecessor). I guess I won't be buying a new Mavic 2...

@TandemAdventurers 5 лет назад

Oh and one other thing (that you didn't address): Is the new Mavic 2 able to automatically increase or decrease its altitude in relation to the subject while in Active Track mode? Like when riding/running/skiing etc. uphill or downhill?

@luckybastardshawaii2834 5 лет назад

I think your relying a bit too much on a single (flawed) test from a single person.

I don't know if you have a terrain suitable for it, but it would be nice to test Active Track 2.0 when going downwards to see if it that works. It's essential for skiers or downhill bikers.

@TandemAdventurers 5 лет назад

EXACTLY. I could be wrong here but as far as I know, the new Mavic 2 STILL cannot automatically change it's altitude while in Active Track mode.

@jessewg1 5 лет назад

Nice try & superb video, thanks for sharing. So Mavic 2 can not do the "active track" just by cellphone (without connect to the controller) ?? what do you think the function of "follow me (Anafi)" compares with "active track (Mavic 2)" if without considering obstacle avoidance ?? THKS.

@toadlguy 5 лет назад

It seems to me that if DJI were to allow connection to a simple tracking dongle like the AirDog it would really be a winner. Given the simplicity of that technology compared to what they are already doing, I almost don’t get it. Certainly, visual recognition has much greater flexibility (changing targets, using multiple targets, etc.) in the long run, but creating a distinct tracking link that it can’t lose would simply provide another input that along with what it can already do would produce amazing shots. It also would turn the Mavic into THE premier action sports drone.

@luckybastardshawaii2834 5 лет назад

The original Mavic could track you by tracking the controller (similar to a dongle) but it didn't work well at all. I'm assuming the Mavic 2 will be able to as well.

@europeanslivingabroad3669 5 лет назад

Try the Parrot Anafi Follow Me. It’s supposed to be pretty good (without obstacle avoidance) because it uses both vision and gps tracking with your smartphone only. Because of the gps tied to your smartphone it would almost never stop following you...

@wsy987 5 лет назад

I consulted with a DJI engineer who is in charge of Active track about this video. He suspected that the firmware used in this test is not V01.00.00.00 (Released with Mavic 2 announcement several days ago), which turns on the detour logic. Could you please check the version of the firmware used in this test? Thank you for your test!

@Dcrainmaker 5 лет назад

It's on firmware 1.00.0000 - this was shot on Saturday afternoon, after firmware had been updated at the launch event on Thursday afternoon. As of this moment (Monday afternoon), upon checking it still shows this as the latest firmware available.
