DJI Mavic Mini: amzn.to/2M7rzq4 (link helps support channel, thanks!!!)
For real, I'm going to show you how exactly to create incredible autonomous drone tracking shots using the DJI Mavic Mini drone, despite the fact that it technically doesn't have ActiveTrack in it, but rather a dumbed down QuickShot set. Still, with a few tips you'll nail some amazing shots while solo, especially for sports type shots like cycling, running, and more.
I dive into which of the DJI QuickShot modes work well to fake ActiveTrack, and which ones don't. From Dronie to Helix, Rocket to Circle, I give the pros and cons of each, and recommendations on distances and speeds to make incredible b-roll shots.

If Mavic Mini adds this feature, it will singlehandedly be the best consumer grade drone for general use.

This video was super helpful to me. I am a trail runner. I run solo mostly. I went with the Mavic Mini because of size and weight and was just going to be happy w the Dronie and Circle mode and miss out on the live track. Now very nice to know I can pull of a "moving Dronie" and get an active track look. Thanks so much

This is helpful. I always thought when you try to do circle shot the mini would follow. I'm glad you did the test, so we don't have to.

@andreachinaglia5804 4 года назад

Awesome video, thank you! You have not discovered anything new, there is plenty of other videos that tell to use quick shots to fake active tracking. But yours is the first one that i see that actually gives useful tips an examples of how this can be actually used to obtain short but great video sequences, that can be used inside a montage of a longer video greatly enhancing it. Sure the method has its limitations compared to a real active tracking, but your video can help a lot to understand those limitations and to obtain great results inside the limits that the quick shot modes have.

@vanomaden 4 года назад

honestly, these shots look better than the active track stuff. I never got active track to really work well on my mavic air so I sold it and got a mini and got 200 bucks back on top. Brilliant tips here. Will definitely try that.

Thanks a lot for this video, I was trying to find the active track in controls yesterday, didn't succeed, then tried quick shots and didn't succeed too. Now I know that I was just not persistent enough.

@Dcrainmaker 4 года назад

Thanks! Yeah, it’s mostly just a case or repeatedly trying (a lot). But over time you’ll be able to predict a bit better how the shot might turn out and save a few tries.

@SteveMartinUSA 4 года назад

This video is really helpful and I'm practicing your techniques with the 01.00.0500 firmware update (5/2/2020). I’m basically getting the same results as you teach them here...it loses me in the helix but is pretty good footage till that point. And the dronie works well as you describe. It would be nice if it could follow me on my bike or skis, without having to buy another drone. I really appreciate this kind of training.

Like the options you show, but via the Litchi Bata App, you can do active track, yes DJI would left it out because of safety & reliability without avoidince..! The mini except for the signal issue is a nice drone if you unlucky got the EU version lots of signal issue so much so you think it should be recalled..!

I’m guessing they’re reluctant to do that since there are no obstacle avoidance sensors. Quick shots are still vulnerable, but they’re more planned out typically,

@Craigo5000 4 года назад

@@john.d0e They built it to do much more than its currently capable of. They will implement Cinelike, 24fps, custom profiles, active tracking 'if' they feel their project is in danger within the market. Look at the Osmo pocket for instance. Slow and steady feature-set upgrades just when the likes of GoPro bring out the 7, 8 and Insta360 keep updating their One X.

Let me ask: what would be the best settings to fly above and circle a stationary target; example, a roof.? I just got mine and it is my first drone. Thanks in advance.

@Dcrainmaker 4 года назад

In that case you can use the ‘circle’ quick shot option and simply draw a little green square atop the roof within the app and it’ll easily circle it. Enjoy!

@SteveMartinUSA 4 года назад

I had no idea you could draw the little green square around anything but a person.
