Here's a simple test of how well DJI's Mini 3 ACtive track can follow downhill, which is needed for skiing, downhill mountain biking, trail running, kayak tracking, and countless other downhill activities.
For this test, I take it out on the trails to see how well it actually works while in Active track mode and descending down 100m below my starting point.

Wow thanks for all of your guidance and many videos and words to the wise... Just got my Mini 3 pro. Prime day deal from B&H! Unfortunately Fed Ex next day Air turned out to be 2 weeks+. Any way it looks like all coaches and runners should use active track feature to improve their running form and efficiency. Did you notice your feet splay outward on each step? It is only minor but the right pro could probably help you to improve your form and mosly reduce the negative eventual consequences of your running style..I am speaking as a former triathlete, running coach, swim coach. I am also old! A crash in a bike race haunts me now more than it did in the late 70's when it happened.With 20/20 hindsight I should have done PT or seen a Dr. But no, I just jumped up and exclaimed "I'm OK" (Like in "Wild Hogs"). So my limited knowledge and advice is to correct the error now. Maybe you should have run cross country 3 more years in HS to fine tune and get those skills imprinted to your muscle memory.😄

@alantay9409 2 года назад

Great demo video. Thank you for doing this. ActiveTrack ability to track for sports is the main reason for me when I decide on a drone. On a side note, are you recording on a separate audio recorder and then you import the audio to sync the audio in post?

@Dcrainmaker 2 года назад

Yup, I recorded audio on the DJI Mic (though, connected using a Rode Lav, you can see it early in the video). It's how I've recorded almost all audio over the last 6 months. Prior to that I used the Rode Wireless GO II for about a year, and pror to that the Rode Wireless Go 1.

@JeffPelletier 2 года назад

In the early days of active track (circa Phantom 4), I remember the issue being that you need to leave the camera pretty much on auto-everything to allow it to adjust exposure as needed in the shadows. Is this still the case on the newer drones? Having said that, the exposure latitude and overall image quality is so much better now, perhaps it doesn’t really matter anymore.

@Dcrainmaker 2 года назад

I don't tend to switch into manual mode unless I'm really focused on a hyper-specific thing that I want to control the lighting at usualyl a static scene. I'd probably check out Phillip Bloom's reviews, and he does a lot more with tweaking.

Nice that they now able to descent downhill, for skiing tho, there is a slight problem as you do turns and move side to side, the drone is also moving side to side, which make the video unwatchable, I wish they develop more activetrack modes, like custom mode, where you could set basic parameters yourself, like, move forward straight 100m and do descent 30m/

I have some actually at the end of the wind video I did, oddly enough. It’s a bit trickier because there’s no sideways obstacle avoidance, so you have to do your homework and ensure the entire planned route is clear. I almost did. But here, but there was some wires near the vineyards in a few spots that concerned me.

It would be interesting to see since your elevation dropped if it had an issue and entered into RTH, how would it handle the RTH Altitude change? If you had set to +100m or so would it climb +100m from current or +100m + the negative meter calculation? Or does the home point reset to where you have the remote?

On the Mini 3 Pro, if you take the controller with you to a different start point as you did, then hit return to home- does it return to the controller’s new location or back to where you started the flight?

Can you update home point in the app on remote?

It'll return to the original homepoint, unless you update the homepoint (which you can do at any time from the menu).

@patricklove3337 2 года назад

At around minute 5 the drone was flying pretty close to some electrical lines. How dependably does a drone like this avoid obstacles like electric lines?

@Dcrainmaker 2 года назад

It depends on the time of year and lighting to be honest. This time, it easily spotted the lines on the controller view, and descended slightly (you see it do it about 5-7 seconds prior). But it's also well lit, almost summer, etc... Whereas late afternoon in the winter? Might have hit it. Albeit, this was kinda a weird grouping of cables, so far easier to spot.

Nice one Ray 🙂 I'd like to ask you, have you've tried to use Parallel track, but it refused to work?

Just checked the screen recording, yup, it did. First it shows up briefly about 6-seconds out, and it's when you see the MINI 3 actually dip down, due to it showing up on the radar map. And then it shows up about 1-2 seconds out again as an over/ahead obstacle briefly. To be fair, those were pretty easy wires to spot given it was a bundle of like 3 wires messily stuck together.

I record to the wireless mic itself, and then sync aftewards. That said, I do also use the DJI Mic to record with it's own transmitter, and you could theoretically pipe that into a USC-B mic attachment for the DJI RC. It's complicated, but it should actually work.

Maybe a stupid question but if you wanted it to track you and it flies backwards how do you set that up.

@Dcrainmaker 2 года назад

No prob. Take off and position the drone to your side, and then put it in Parallel mode (within Active Track, just instead of Trace, select Parallel). Once you start moving slowly, then use the controller to rotate the drone around you to the front. It'll stay at same height/distance to you. Once there, you can go ahead and slowly speed up. Works well, but just be aware that the rearwards obstacle avoidance sensors aren't as good (less range, less field of view), so its a bit riskier.

A simple question about Mini 3 that I could not find the answer yet: Do you need to stay with the controller all the time to have the active track working properly?

@Dcrainmaker 2 года назад

Yup, exactly. As long as your jurisdiction allows, you can do precisely that.
