What do you guys think of Active Track? Check out my Drone luts and Cheat Sheets here - dmprovisuals.com 🔥

@2mopaul Год назад

How can a drone track you from the front since it can't predict where you are going to go? To me, unless you are going into a completely straight line or making corrections like you would balancing a broom there is no possible way that it can track you going backwards.

@PattiemanNL Год назад

I have been mountainbiking on much zharder terrain , faster and the mount you say is bad has held up brilliantly. So dont think its the mounts fault for being so bad as you say 😂

@garymallinson2292 Год назад

What is the mount that your using for the RC-N1, i never opted for the RC as it goes, however my plan always was to try tracking myself mountain biking so it may well be that i chose wisely. Thanks in advance and I’m finding your content really informative, keep up the great work 👌

@KryptosChain Год назад

*I can't believe how large your channel got mate! Drone videos really do well on RU-vid. Congrats! I remember when it was at like 6k like mine when I first bought my Mini 2 haha*

@matteomezzadri1127 Год назад

@3ligijus Год назад

But mate, Trace mode never was following you from front. It’s starts like this, but until first turn, than it’s stands into back following.

@Andyrewk Год назад

I was thinking the same thing.

@PattiemanNL Год назад

Jep thats what trace does and means…

@RESISTAGE Год назад

my air2s is able to track me from front no problem.

@BlairAir Год назад

You want it in the back corner. Unless you like scraping the pieces off the road when it flies full speed sideways into a tree, lamppost, etc. Without side sensors, this is the best way to keep these drones in one piece. DJI started doing trace this way sometime around the Mavic Air 2.

@mara-mimi-mia Год назад

The manual says it can only track subjects in front of it.

@BlairAir Год назад

Working as designed. Want to front track? 1. Get back in the car, go home. 2. Put Mini 3 Pro on the shelf. 3. Get Mavic 3, get back in the car, and go get your shot. Sort of. If you really REALLY want front tracking, put you DJI drones away for now, and grab the Skydio. Brilliant, but mostly singular purpose tracking drone extraordinaire! 🙄 Can't make Mini 3/3 Pro do something it's not engineered to do. Not well, anyway.

@streetpigeonmtb Год назад

Hi mate. Just to let you know, I have a mountain biking channel and the parallel mode is actually really useful. Admittedly you have to pick your location carefully e.g. open hills. However, when you get it right the footage is incredible.

@rickparkinmoto Год назад

Did you try Trace with Disable Sideways Flight ON to have the drone stay in front of you? Maybe it will stay in front if it can't go sideways.

@dmvfilms Год назад

The secret to getting the drone to track you from the front is to help it along. You have to gently nudge the drone to stay in front by touching the stick at times. Left if you want to stay right, right for left. Also you have to back if off a bit in front. Not ideal but it can work.

@NevContractor1 Год назад

You shouldn't need to "help it along". I want to use mine for kayaking and rock climbing, in both those scenarios my hands are occupied. The software should do what the software should do.

@ChristianLathomSharp Год назад

@@NevContractor1then don’t get this drone. Oh and the word ‘should’ should be removed from your vocab. There is no should. You’d like it to be possible but it isn’t. Therefore, get a different drone.

@rokonman Год назад

Trace is designed to follow you. It is working as designed.

@mrkirksey Год назад

Active track is amazing. Especially when you're using it as intended vs doing stuff it wasn't meant to do and then speaking as if it's a glitch. Likewise parallel mode literally warns you that there is no obstacle avoidance in this mode and then you immediately go off and almost hit a tree while looking stunned 🥴.

@grossi46 Год назад

This is why I love my mini 2 in conjunction with litchi or maven 😊😊 Litchi especially as it gives me a clock face so I can decide what direction it follows me 👌

6:31 "it should be called, you are going to crash your drone in this mode!" lol Great video as always! I honestly didn't know that from behind was pretty much the only usable way to track on the Mini 3 Pro. Good to know.

@jdp Год назад

I don't believe trace was ever designed to track from the front with Active Track on the Mini 3 Pro because of the lack of side obstacle sensors, so it's not a flaw, it's behaving as per specification. If you watch videos of active track from the front on a Mavic 3, it takes a while to return to the front after the subject turns a corner and does a lot of sideways flight in the process.

@mrkirksey Год назад

It wasn't. I was wondering why he kept trying to do something it was never meant to do and speaking as if it was a glitch.

@jamaliciousben Год назад

I’m a huge fan of active track. I really like using it but one of the challenges I have with it is how I can go hands free on the controller. I’d like to film myself fly fishing or skiing and for both of those activities I need both my hands and I can’t set the controller down b/c I’m moving. Does anyone have a good way of mounting the RC controller to yourself so you can grab it quickly if you see your drone about to crash but also out of the way enough that I can do the activities I want?

@LisaFrostPhoto Год назад

I bought a Sunnylife strap for it that comes with an aluminium mount that attaches to the bottom of the RC. I ended up using a different strap than the one that came with it, which was just too long for me, but the bracket is excellent with 3 attach points. I then have the strap over my shoulder across my body and it's quick and easy to grab it if I need to use it. I only use it for walking - I imagine it would work fine for fishing but maybe not so much for skiing....though maybe for that you could just have a clip on your waist to attach the RC to as well so the controller can't move around too much...?

@alexalex5257 Год назад

trace only tracks you from the back, it doesnt work from the front on mini 3 pro. from the front works on mavic3

@wootler Год назад

I haven't experimented with active track yet, but I was sure the Mini 3 Pro, as released, would NOT track from the front??? Only in trace or parallel.

@TwistyTrails Год назад

A great, concise test of the drone’s tracking capabilities and limitations. 👍. The trace mode from the rear is a bit dull after a while so I’m attempting to ride the bike and fly the drone at the same time…..with mixed results! However, when the drone (annoyingly) slews from front to rear tracking, it does give a good orbital dynamic to a clip.

@DMProductions Год назад

yeah I agree, spotlight mode is my preferred method of tracking but trying that on this bike wasn't the best idea unless I wanted to fall off 😂

@BlairAir Год назад

Spotlight can be useful in these scenarios. Keeps the subject (you) in or near center of frame, you can focus (pun intended) on flying and zooming if desired.

@TwistyTrails Год назад

@@BlairAir and @DM Productions - I don't think I've used spotlight whilst riding my bike yet, but that seems like a great tip....something else to consider, among the many other things, to remember when flying the drone!🤯🧠

@HuwRees Месяц назад

I think DJI's activetrack is awful. It never does what you want it to do, and it spazzes out for no reason

@Kami.917 Год назад

It also depends on wind when i was going 18~23mph it couldn't keep up on Normal mode. I put it on sports mode and it was fine

@ayamotoadventures Год назад

I've tested it for my motorcycle and had the same result. It works good when the drone is behind you and when it is close, but if you want to do it in front it will move to the side and try to get behind you again. It almost crashed into the tree because there are no sensors on the side. The other problem is that it looses tracking if you get little bit fat away. It's good for slower shots till 25-30 km.

@ExHanseat Год назад

I just used active track in parallel mode and to my surprise, it's no problem to change the position of the drone to any position you like for the shot, by simply pushing the flight stick either reight or left, same applies to height and gimnbal position. Of course no obstacle avoidance engaged, but you can place the drone also in front of you and just keep going and it will stay in that position, keeping you in the frame and maintaining the distance. At least when you move straight. It's like POI mode but, with a moving poi. In this semi automatic mode, you just have to check for objects in the chosen flight path and if somethings comes around, just change the position to 12 o'clock in front of your path and when you pased the object, switch back to 2 o'clock or 11 o'clock whatever suits you by simple push on the stick. Requires minimal attention. I did it while having the dog on the leash in one hand and the controler hanging around my neck, using only one hand to keep the drone out of harms way. Changing position also adds some dramatic effekt on the fotage. Maybe it's not practical to do that on a bike riding through a forrest, but if you shoot in a location with not so many obstacles, it should be possible to manage it on a bike too.

@leelemon007 Год назад

Same ...works great

@flightographist Год назад

I've tried both active track features on a wide open beach, not impressive, very erratic. It definitely is useless to me right now. You will eventually crash the drone in that rear trace mode unless you stay above the tallest trees/obstacles. Bloom is pushing them to incorporate the soon to be released m3p tri-pod mode ( max 1m/sec in all axis) update into the active track feature- which is otherwise useless. I think then the sensors will be able to manage the mission.

@keytiger7 Год назад

Skydio 2 still miles ahead in tracking. Then the mavic 3 would be next in line.

@DMProductions Год назад

I agree with this

@kiwimotoadv Год назад

When I was researching this drone and watched information on Active Track, the people putting videos of it up were quite clear it always likes to track from behind. At least I knew it going in. I wouldn't have been happy if I specifically wanted it to track from in front and it wouldn't do it. Great Vid as always.

@charlesdove1345 Год назад

@andymotovlogs546 Год назад

I tried to use the track function inside home. Something unexpected happened. The drone went up and away and crashed against the wall/roof and fell from a height of around 6-8 feet, started making weird beeping sound while the propellers kept rotating while it was lying in floor, then, stopped and I switched it off. I tried flying it again but it didn't fly. Then I charged it and tried flying it again and it was working fine in spite of some damage here and there( little scratches and minor damage to edges). But when I tried to charge it again it's not charging. That may be because I was trying to change few settings by keeping it on. So it may be that it's overheated. Yes, it was charging after I took out and reinserted the battery. Was fine after that. Strange things happen. Guess I would avoid flying it indoors. But what exactly happened. Why did it kind of went crazy and slammed into the wall for no reason. Any ideas?

@JWS1968 2 дня назад

I experienced a problem today. I wanted to film a friend and have the drone orbit around him and used the active track feature. I drew a little green box around him. However he was standing next to a parked transit van. And Active track just kept jumping to it very aggressively. It wanted to track the van whether I liked it or not. Is it possible to turn vehicle tracking off.

@withdrone. Год назад

Hi, I also have a DJI Mini 3 Pro. This review was very helpful for me. I will subscribe to your channel from Japan. Thank you.

@BlairAir Год назад

The bike mounts all use the tripod 1/4 mount. This is incredibly stupid, as the mass, while limited, is all above and horizontally spread out. This creates a pendulum effect. A simple mount with support to the CORNERS of the controller instead of center would prevent the moment of inertia that makes the existing mounts SHITE!!!

@SERB98 4 месяца назад

Does anyone know of a method to improve the Active Track/Trace/Follow Me mode? When on a Motorcycle I can't ride at more than maybe 15 miles an hour before the Drone loses me. Is there a color, shape, contrast that it has an easier time following?

@PhilipLanderloos 2 месяца назад

Nice and simply explained. Last I was tracking myself, also on a bike, but the recording stopt every time again. Once after 40 sec, next after 20 sec...and there were no trees or other obstacles. Any idea why my mini 3 pro is always stopping recording?

@mavicairflyeruk Год назад

@dedgemusic 8 месяцев назад

I can't seem to parallel track a running subject. It always goes towards him/her! Why?

@erik.nederstigt 4 месяца назад

Let's be honest. Sideways won't work in an obstacled area because of the lack of sensors. Front view?? How can the drone determine wich way you are going? So from the back is the obvious way, the drone will pick.

@chameleonpogono Год назад

I've found mine doesn't do well following me when I mtb. I'm on single track trails with very few trees. A bunch of times I will go around a turn, but still visible by the drone and it will lose me. If there is a tree, I will be obscured for, literally, 1 second and it loses me. I pretty much have to be going in a straight line for it to work. Kind of disappointed to be honest. I'm making sure to not go faster than the drone can go.

@ioannistzartos6126 Месяц назад

Ok this is the parrot anafi follow me I think is the most cinematic and perfect In many ways The anafi lost me at the stadium in the begining..but when it is lost the subject starts follow the gps signal of your remote..and the altitude from your phone means that following you in high also from the barometer of your phone..... perfect drone

@exe_data_ Месяц назад

since when trace means from the front? when you tracing someone you following him from behind. rhe trace mods is ONLY for tracking from the back. when you put it to your front the drones pathfinding dosen't want to loose the subject and that is why for a brief period of time is tracking from the front where you have set it.

@tannerpetrie8101 Год назад

@azizkaria414 Год назад

When I use this active track function (Trace), I will increase an altitude slightly higher than the surrounding trees. Then I will zoom in and select my object. I had my trust issue with the obstacle sensor regardless of the trace and parallel options. I filmed myself with motorbike activities, and it works well.

Active track is unreliable. With every drone DJI promises improved tracking. It only works for people and vehicles. I ride a recumbent trike pulling a bright yellow trail.

Thanks for this video. The trace mode is of course best when following from the back and I ride my bike a lot and use the drone. The shot where the drone starts from the front and makes its way to the side and then the back I find really interesting. It’s not a failing at all. I always make sure I do it on a country lane where there are very few trees. Also, I’ve given up on a handlebar mount. I have a lanyard and dangle the RC controller round my neck occasionally if I need to make it go higher. I can do it actually without looking at the controls.

it's not surprising it's better at tracking going forwards, flight controls are much easier that way. Imagine you had to drive down a road backwards in your car, the controls are much more sensitive, making small movements MUCH harder to do smoothly. Mini 3 pro is also the cheapest drone in the range that has it, and also lacks full sensors for safety?

Get the mavic 3 pro or classic that can

@driewiel Год назад

Well they can. The Skydio can for sure. A DJI Mini 2 also can with Litchi or Maven using Follow-me. That's GPS, not optical like active-track. And they use 'compass type'. It will stay north south east west relative to you. If you turn left it will be on your right, turn right and it will be on your left. I'm not sure if you can use the sticks while in follow-me mode? And if for example a DJI Air still has obstacle avoidance with follow-me in Litchi or Maven. Note. Most drones, or rather the apps, have 'string-type' follow-me. That is useless. Can't see what it is doing when behind you. It has to be 'compass type'. And you must be able to use the sticks! I wish the funny $135 L109 Pro had a better camera and gimbal. It would beat any DJI drone for flying it while riding my bike. It does a perfect job. Even auto-updates homepoint and disables return-to-home. You don't want having to race back. For example my F11 will fly back without warning and then it is panic. Shame because the follow-me does work pretty nice. The best follow-me drone was the Fimi A3. I say was because batteries are a disaster. The 1080P video also looks kinda vintage these days. But as for the follow-me feature it was unbeatable. I can fly it at 30cm from the ground right in front of me. If I move 1mm it moves too. They sould have made a Fimi A3 Mini instead of the X8 Mini! Why DJI does not provide follow-me I have no clue. In many situations it is far more reliable. And it results in better smoother shots. Now people use 'tricks' and crash even more often. To show DJI doesn't have a clue how hikers and bikers use a drone: the Mini 3 Pro can track in 'profile'. But it doesn't have side sensors! So people fly it in trees all the time. Same for drone 'experts' and reviewers BTW. most only know DJI's active-track and believe that is the only way. Whole bunch don't know the difference between active-track and follow-me. I mean active-track is great. I've nothing against it. You can track other persons objects etc. But in real life follow-me is often superior and certainly easier and cheaper. I guess drone people including manufacturers aren't the hiker biker type. I have yet to find the perfect tracking drone. They easily could build one if they listened to me. But like I said the DJI Mini 2 with Litchi or Maven I think is what you want. In GPS follow-me mode you will probably have to use the sensors in your head to avoid obstacles. Which is a good idea anyhow since obstacle avoidance is not a 100% guarantee.

It looks interesting. Positioning the drone above a lake having it fly sideways aiming at trains. If the train passes behind a hill or trees I suppose it ends the trace. What speeds can be used in parallell flying? I think the train speed is limitied to 40 mph, Sports mode speed.

Nice Video Darren. I have a question at the bottom of this... I have the Air2S and have found the tracking awful when tracking my boat and thats despite it recognising the boat with the little icon. It whooshes in and out and increasingly gets worse until it is literally going to crash into you. Walking, car no problem. I treid changing my clothes for better contrast, changed the direction to the sun etc and nothing worked!!! I had no issues with my original Mavic drone, but that unfortunately dies after years of service. So I ended up buying the mini 3 pro and will be testing that in a few weeks time, just to see if its any better. lets hope so!!! Someone I saw using a drone a few weeks ago was using the Litchi app and he said that for tracking it's much better as it uses the GPS off the phone aswell as visual tracking. He showed me and I was impressed TBH. I am also going to try that. He said that you needed both apps really. The DJI app is better all round for just flying and recording but the Litchi app does other stuff better. Does the Mavic 3 track a lot better than the mini 3 and air2S?

But you can set it on POI to face you??

@MKINDYR107 Год назад

The DJI official user manual states for 'Trace': "tracks the subject.... with the direction of the subject", suggesting to me that it only intends to 'Trace' your steps i.e. follow you from behind.

The drone thinks it's Kahl Drogo.

Some sections of this trail had trees less than 50 feet tall. Will tracking work from the side by flying above the trees using a downward angle while keeping the bike in view?

@vonheise Год назад

Old and ugly, so from behind is my best angle, however, if there are not a lot of people around, I will be using the Mavic 3 for active track and most else. I use the Mini 3 Pro for stealth and flying indoors with propeller guards.

@Gordonbanksapp Год назад

Activetrack is a little disappointing. I have used it with biking but it fails with other sports. If you touch or nudge the controller screen expect Activetrack to stop and the drone’s flight to pause. At this point, I would rather have waypoints than Activetrack.

@Capnobot Год назад

Maybe the reason it "likes to track from behind is because there are no obsticle sensors in the back. This makes sense considering they DJI wouldn't program the sofware in a way to crash itself. Thoughts?

@barneybiggles Год назад

That’s why it’s called track.

@justinyooniverse Год назад

can you still track if you use it for true vertical mode?

@DMProductions Год назад

sure

@olivierw9447 Год назад

Nice video as always Darren! Same “problem” here : active track working decently from behind, but not been able to make it work from front. I’m using the POI as an alternative (skiing, hiking, biking), but you have to be extremely cautious as it disables the obstacle avoidance… 😰 Any idea how the mini 4 will perform?

there is no mini 4 and will not come for a long time

@raini1955 Год назад

Nice video, mate! I fully agree to your comments but Ι found out that parallel mode has a hidden feature. In fact, parallel mode is nothing else than keep the drone on a constant angle relative to the object that is focussed and you can manually change the angle with the yaw-stick. This means that you can position the drone to the direction you want to move, right before you. Then choose parallel mode and the drone will remain very stable on that angle relative to you. So if the the road you are following is straight, this is absolutely useful. If there are curves you have to follow, you can use the yaw-stick to correct this change of angle. In Cine-mode these corrections can be very smooth. I hope this helps.

Wow ! thats a super post 😮. Well done - useful

@Kahmoon Год назад

Well tracing in front....how should the drone know how the path will be. It cannot foresee any curves or junctions. It has to change the side at any point. I don't think this is a negative point...no other drone will be able to do this better.

just drag a box around an object, won't work in 4k60

@@DMProductions Thanks a lot! It works! Drone not flying is understandable. I guess I've been touching the screen by accident and started the green rectangle.
