Once again, excellent instruction. I read complaints that DJI is selling an “incomplete” product. (Chuckle). Who buys a “completed” computer or phone in this modern age? Updates are not only necessary…they are part of the magic of modern technology. And, sometimes the source of irritation. I am “Autel-first” by nature but, the organic nature of all DJI product has been impressive. And, pivotal to their extraordinary success. Hopefully, my Cine will be arriving shortly. I plan to fly it happily and grow with the experience. And look forward to the Nano+. Fortunately I have FlytPath to guide my progress. You are wise and good. Prudent and fair. Thank you, Kimo Sabe🤙
It's actually a lot smoother getting to a positional track when selecting front or side than Skydio. Skydio swings really fast to the positions, and holds them better, but the end result video is what counts, not how fast the drone moves to position. Skydio does this quick swing to position, yay, but who wants to see a video with that behavior? I've never seen any fast camera motion in a professional production.
Now I am more getting convinced to purchase this drone, there were so many negative videos regarding missing functions and issues with mavic 3, waiting for January update and I am also sure dji wld release more firmware in future to solve those little bugs and issues, great video and have it more coming, very impressed.
Great video, Aldryn. Gives us hope. This drone is already the bomb, but I knew DJI would take it to the next level with software and firmware. They have a pretty good track record with that.
Man this is probably the best demonstration of active track so far esp. for a guy shooting cars and bikes just wow and I’m so impressed and i can’t wait to try it out 👍
It's great to see DJI feeling the heat from Skydio. The future looks bright for drone tracking! They still need something like the Skydio beacon though. That bike mount setup looks pretty cumbersome.
Great testing of the active track feature on the your e-bike. The new tracking features remind of the Skydio 2. This is a solid update for sure. Thanks for sharing.
It looks amazing. I haven't had time to test mine but I've seen videos that it doesn't eeally work as well. To be specific this is the only video that I've seen that it actually works. Great video
Thanks for the great video. Also, thanks for the opportunity to receive a discount on my new GPC case for my Cine. The case arrived today as did the update and I am confidently heading out in the woods to try out the new firmware. Have a great weekend and thank you again for all you do. 👍
I ordered this a few days ago to enhance the dynamic shots for my RUclips channel. Since I'm usually alone out in the field, I NEED these dynamic following shots with the different angles. This looks really good and I'm excited to try it out! Thanks for this great test!
You did a great job with this video. I am so glad I bought this drone. I have been practicing and learning the various characteristics of this drone waiting for the firmware updates and after watching your excellent video I am not disappointed. Great job!
Thanks for the Video, will perform the update on my M3 Cine tonight, also, thanks for adding a link for the E-Bike, that is a really cool machine, I will have to take a serious look at purchasing 1 eventually :)
I have problems with Air 2S - the memory card is not recognised in the software. I have tried two different cards and both were on DJI's recommended list. All firmware is updated. What next? Is there anything I am missing? Is this a common issue? Thanks.
Oh man this is freaking sick....and the part that I thought was super awesome is when you started going down hill...the active track cursor dropped from you to the road for a few seconds at the start of the downhill section. I thought the drone was gonna lose you like some of the other drones did on this test but it managed to lock back on and get where he needed to be.
@FlytPath awesome video as always sir....and now because of this video, I'm on the fence about upgrading to Air 2s fly more for 1200 or Mavic 3 Fly more for 2900. Oh the choices lol
Hey Aldryn, first of all .. so cool what you made in the last years .. I still remember the "beginning" 👍🏻respect !! We have really bad weather over here in Germany so I could not test it. But did you test to do Active Track and take manual photos? With the M2P it was not possible .. when you shot a pic it stopped tracking/following. would be cool if they fixed it...love those panning shots of cars/trains etc.
thank you very much for this update in firmware for Mavic 3. A side interest - your e-bike; quite an interesting bike - I used your link in the comments. cheers
Was hoping you would do a track sequence where you change directions frequently and quickly. Maybe in the near future. I also assume it does not have compass position tracking option. For my tracking application, POI is useless. Maintaining one compass orientation relative to the moving subject works so much better when the subject is changing direction frequently and quickly
Activetrack looks really good especially compared to the old magic 2 pro. I just really wish you didn’t have to mount that huge controller/phone combo to make it work. Really limits the more intense sport self tracking like mountain biking, skiing, etc. skydio still has them handily beat in that regard
I would like to know if, I can use an Android tablet like Realme Pad or Lenovo P11 or Xiaomi Pad can be used as a Monitor instead of a Smartphone for flying DJI Drones such as Mini or Air, but prefer DJI MINI 2 Series.? Great content, learning more and more. Thank you
Good video, like the way you set things up, but still no reason to switch from the AIR 2S to the over priced CINE, They have to improve more to convince me.
Great review video and thank you. I just purchased my very first drone ever and chose to buy the DJI Mavic 3 Cine so I wanted to research the Active Track feature on this device. Just curious with this question: Why doesn't DJI implement a FOB device to put in your pocket for Active Track or some sort of a Beacon installed in the controller in order to not loose trace of its subject while in Active Tract mode?? Any information you can pass on to me is greatly appreciated by myself and thousands of others. Again, very nice video review with clear explanation. Take care.
Sir I have a question, I’m new here in the Drone and I have my FAA license and i got mavic 3 classic, i just started fly in side my garage for learn the control, do i need permission to fly inside the garage? I tried to find the answer to my question online but found nothing. Thank you Wagner
Is there anywhere an official list of which kind of "objects" active track is working with? I tried to track my dog, but it was not possible. I got a hint on screen something like "must be a person or a vehicle". What kind of vehicles a recognized? I was planing to track a model aircraft for example.
Hi there, Ive just updated (Dec 10th 0800am UK time) and I get version 01.00.0400 (not 320) and whiles the update suggested otherwise I have none of the latest features - app and drone say all up to date so very frustrating.... version .400 suggests to me later than .320 ??? have DJI backtracked in 24 hours? Am I the only one without the new stuff ! Cheers, Chris
Update on my last comment - although my app said it was up to date ( and wouldn’t update) it wasn’t - I had to uninstall the app - it now comes back at 1.5.4 and now my Mavic 3 shows the updates While that’s all good, not sure I should have to in-install the app to get there Bottom line is I’m much happier having these updates now rather than January but DJI are all over the place with the 3 launch and I will remember that in future - good luck 😊
Great demonstration. I'm becoming more convinced to upgrade from the Air 2 for my business needs. The only thing that would have made this video better would be Aldryn actually having to pedal his bike, haha.
Hey... That really might have changed my mind. I was a little (a lot) upset when my pixel 6 wouldn't video stream my Air 2s. Now seeing this it am interested. Q. Cine or just a regular 3?
Great video! Realistically, how fast do you think you could go on a motorcycle 🏍 and the drone still keep up? Also, would it be able to keep you locked in if you were in traffic you think? Or do you think it would lose you and start tracking someone else?
There was no power line in the way? I’d like to see a video on how it does with the power line because personally I found that it can’t avoid power lines.
Hi After watching this video I updated the newer firmware right away . After the update suddenly it doesn’t works with the 128 GB (SanDisk Extreme) which was inside the M3 while updating .I also try different 128 GB card and it’s still not working . After I switched back to 64 GB all photo and video are working. Maybe after update . It doesn’t handle 128 GB . Hope you know the reason ? Thanks
How to question for anyone here. When I get the green box around me (RC Pro and MAVIC 3) I don’t get the dialog boxes center bottom? What am I doing wrong?
I downloaded the new firmware for the Mavic 3 I can find master shots ok How do I find the following mode you hand in the video it was as you said cool Thanks
Once again, excellent instruction. I read complaints that DJI is selling an “incomplete” product. (Chuckle). Who buys a “completed” computer or phone in this modern age? Updates are not only necessary…they are part of the magic of modern technology. And, sometimes the source of irritation.

Thank you, Kimo Sabe🤙
But how is it when you go under trees or when you're briefly covered? How 's the new Obstacle avoidance compared to Skydio while tracking?
It's actually a lot smoother getting to a positional track when selecting front or side than Skydio. Skydio swings really fast to the positions, and holds them better, but the end result video is what counts, not how fast the drone moves to position. Skydio does this quick swing to position, yay, but who wants to see a video with that behavior? I've never seen any fast camera motion in a professional production.

Amazing how it kept up ascending and descending. So cool how quickly it re-acquired you too! Gonna test this out from my boat tomorrow. Can't wait!
Great video, Aldryn. Gives us hope. This drone is already the bomb, but I knew DJI would take it to the next level with software and firmware. They have a pretty good track record with that.
The Mavic 3 now even better. We’re so lucky we have this badass drone now. Feeling like an absolute pro flying it.
Man this is probably the best demonstration of active track so far esp. for a guy shooting cars and bikes just wow and I’m so impressed and i can’t wait to try it out 👍
You are the best drone Channel on RUclips! Thanks for such a quick update!
Wow. I am really impressed with how this works. Excellent video! You tested it in all conditions, and it performed like a champ. Good job DJI!
CONGRATS ON 300K SUBS!!! IVE BEEN WITH YOU SINCE THE BEGINNING!!! CONGRATS!!!
👊
I love how happy you are during this video it's awesome!!
It's great to see DJI feeling the heat from Skydio. The future looks bright for drone tracking! They still need something like the Skydio beacon though. That bike mount setup looks pretty cumbersome.
yeah i had the skydio and really wanted DJI's version of what they packaged. That said the skydio was 1/2 the price of this beast :o
This is a cool feature. This is the best firmware update by far.
Great testing of the active track feature on the your e-bike. The new tracking features remind of the Skydio 2. This is a solid update for sure. Thanks for sharing.
exactly what I was thnking.
This was awesome Aldryn. Absolutely amazing. Very impressive. Those updates was worth the wait. . 🤙🏻
It looks amazing. I haven't had time to test mine but I've seen videos that it doesn't eeally work as well. To be specific this is the only video that I've seen that it actually works. Great video
I cant wait to get my hands on this quad man! Great job covering this Aldryn! Cheers Bro
Excellent Video Aldryn On DJI Mavic 3 Firmware Update! Your Test Results Were Amazing! Thank You.
Thanks for the great video. Also, thanks for the opportunity to receive a discount on my new GPC case for my Cine. The case arrived today as did the update and I am confidently heading out in the woods to try out the new firmware. Have a great weekend and thank you again for all you do. 👍
Smooth tracking of the Mavic 3! All the waiting's worth it! I like that we now have option to choose the drone's position from the subject!
Wow that is really cool!. They will still probably do updates for Active track just to fine tune it. So nice they did it sooner than later!!
I ordered this a few days ago to enhance the dynamic shots for my RUclips channel. Since I'm usually alone out in the field, I NEED these dynamic following shots with the different angles. This looks really good and I'm excited to try it out! Thanks for this great test!
You did a great job with this video. I am so glad I bought this drone. I have been practicing and learning the various characteristics of this drone waiting for the firmware updates and after watching your excellent video I am not disappointed. Great job!
Thanks for the heads up on the firmware release. I do a lot of Active Track videos, and can't wait to take this out tomorrow on my mtb.
Time to go UPDATE!!!!!!!!!! 🙌
Love your videos, but still can't get over the "hey that's my neighborhood" feeling in the background of your videos.
so weird, I have 01.00.04.00??? and no tracking or any of your updates in UK
Looks good, just got home from flying and seen the update, Charge and back out I go. Thanks for the update video.
Great vid Aldryn that was impressive, can't wait to update the firmware and try it out.
Thanks for the Video, will perform the update on my M3 Cine tonight, also, thanks for adding a link for the E-Bike, that is a really cool machine, I will have to take a serious look at purchasing 1 eventually :)
Exciting! Can't wait to see a Hyperlapse done with the M 3!!
I have problems with Air 2S - the memory card is not recognised in the software. I have tried two different cards and both were on DJI's recommended list. All firmware is updated. What next? Is there anything I am missing? Is this a common issue? Thanks.
Excellent work! Still waiting until Spring for my final decision to upgrade from my Mavic 2 Pro. Thanks!😎
Great review! Great job on your communication skills and editing 💯👌🏼 new subscriber
Much appreciated!
There is a small dot in the center and below the small people icon in the active track circle control panel. what is that?
Shows the capabilities of the drone very well. Just grabbed one for $1100.00 open box.
Will that bike clamp work with the new Mavic 3 standard controller and an iPhone 12 Pro max??
Oh man this is freaking sick....and the part that I thought was super awesome is when you started going down hill...the active track cursor dropped from you to the road for a few seconds at the start of the downhill section. I thought the drone was gonna lose you like some of the other drones did on this test but it managed to lock back on and get where he needed to be.
Ya it moving and caught back up to me
@FlytPath awesome video as always sir....and now because of this video, I'm on the fence about upgrading to Air 2s fly more for 1200 or Mavic 3 Fly more for 2900. Oh the choices lol

That's absolutely bezerk. Happy to see and early FW
Amazing, thx for reviewing the update for active track, Aldryn

For my tracking application, POI is useless. Maintaining one compass orientation relative to the moving subject works so much better when the subject is changing direction frequently and quickly
Thank you for that great video. The update is fantastic. The scenery is great! Where is that? Aliso and Woods Canyon ?
That’s some pretty cool tech
Activetrack looks really good especially compared to the old magic 2 pro. I just really wish you didn’t have to mount that huge controller/phone combo to make it work. Really limits the more intense sport self tracking like mountain biking, skiing, etc. skydio still has them handily beat in that regard
Thanks for the information on the new update. I plan to do my update today. Can't wait to try out some of the new additions.
Can't wait to try this out!!!
I would like to know if, I can use an Android tablet like Realme Pad or Lenovo P11 or Xiaomi Pad can be used as a Monitor instead of a Smartphone for flying DJI Drones such as Mini or Air, but prefer DJI MINI 2 Series.? Great content, learning more and more. Thank you
Wooo saw the vid just now !! Wah !! 😳😳😳 Like the bic & the dron 😘! Get thKQ for the visual!! Btw Mavic Air 2. Also have tht update ?!? 😀
Why is it not available to me? It says 01.00.0400 - your firmware is up to date.
Thanks Aldryn! I got aircraft firmware version 0400 for my cine 👌
Wow This is the first step. but I think is a bit slow. Another test with obstacles would be a great idea
Good video, like the way you set things up, but still no reason to switch from the AIR 2S to the over priced CINE, They have to improve more to convince me.
Good to see DJI finally catching up with Skydio in the tracking department! But at 3x the price of the other drone. That's giving me a pause.
3x the quality of camera too
On active tracking can I set up how high I want the drone to track.
Great review video and thank you. I just purchased my very first drone ever and chose to buy the DJI Mavic 3 Cine so I wanted to research the Active Track feature on this device.
Just curious with this question: Why doesn't DJI implement a FOB device to put in your pocket for Active Track or some sort of a Beacon installed in the controller in order to not loose trace of its subject while in Active Tract mode??

Sir I have a question, I’m new here in the Drone and I have my FAA license and i got mavic 3 classic, i just started fly in side my garage for learn the control, do i need permission to fly inside the garage?
I tried to find the answer to my question online but found nothing.

I got a hint on screen something like "must be a person or a vehicle". What kind of vehicles a recognized? I was planing to track a model aircraft for example.
I got a notification for my mini 2 and am downloading it now. Does this mean my mini 2 gets these features?
Incredible tracking!!
Hi there, Ive just updated (Dec 10th 0800am UK time) and I get version 01.00.0400 (not 320) and whiles the update suggested otherwise I have none of the latest features - app and drone say all up to date so very frustrating.... version .400 suggests to me later than .320 ??? have DJI backtracked in 24 hours?

While that’s all good, not sure I should have to in-install the app to get there

Great demonstration. I'm becoming more convinced to upgrade from the Air 2 for my business needs. The only thing that would have made this video better would be Aldryn actually having to pedal his bike, haha.
This is some good stuff, thanks for the quick tutorial video Aldryn.
Can you use active track without the controller? I see videos of people snowboarding but how do they get the drone to actively move around them?
Hey... That really might have changed my mind. I was a little (a lot) upset when my pixel 6 wouldn't video stream my Air 2s. Now seeing this it am interested. Q. Cine or just a regular 3?
Great video! Realistically, how fast do you think you could go on a motorcycle 🏍 and the drone still keep up? Also, would it be able to keep you locked in if you were in traffic you think? Or do you think it would lose you and start tracking someone else?
It’s supposed to do about 47mph or something like that.
Amazing great job DJI....now I wanna see the Mavic 3 vs the Skydio 2
Can't wait to get mine updated
There was no power line in the way? I’d like to see a video on how it does with the power line because personally I found that it can’t avoid power lines.
so has it reached into Skydio territory?
Hoping it would come on Mini 2 as well! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
How does it compare to Skydio 2?
Is the drone following you or the controller?
Does all the DJI drones now have 'Active Track' & 'Waypoint tracking'?
That was very impressive
This is so perfect for my Offroad/Overlanding videos 🤩 any one interested in buying my Mavic Air 2? 😅
When you’re flying with active track does it have a significant affect on battery life?
Would like it if there was a way for it to mix up the tracking modes (behind, front, left etc etc). Ordered one of these just now!
Thanks for sharing. Currently downloading what seems to be an even newer firmware version? 1.0.00.0400
Hi After watching this video I updated the newer firmware right away . After the update suddenly it doesn’t works with the 128 GB (SanDisk Extreme) which was inside the M3 while updating .I also try different 128 GB card and it’s still not working . After I switched back to 64 GB all photo and video are working. Maybe after update . It doesn’t handle 128 GB . Hope you know the reason ? Thanks
seems like it have a set height it would hold, is it possible to change the height and distance while it tracking you?
How to question for anyone here. When I get the green box around me (RC Pro and MAVIC 3) I don’t get the dialog boxes center bottom? What am I doing wrong?
I know that it is a pre release just curius i still cant see the update on my DJI FLy in Region? z
Great video. Can you test the active track following a car ?
Ya I've tried with the air 2s and it won't ascend. Kinduv a bummer especially when you're in a Kenworth going up a mountain. LOL
Great video! Could you tell me the name of that bike mount that you’re using? Would you recommend it for mountain biking?
It was bound to get even better!
Game changer.
Hi u need to go into bushes and lower to ground altitude
Well great video. Wouah. So impressive. So great technology 🤩 enjoy with it man 😁😁
omg.. you tested the active track feature without obstacles on the path! I don't think this is a real test!
Thanks for sharing. Where do we find the bike mount for the controller?
Cool. Great demo... thank you. Curious? Thoughts on the Zugo? which model?
It’s a juicedbike hyperscambler 2
Great update but haven issued RTH on mini 2
Amazing video!!
Does this Mavic 3 have FPV Mode
Does THe Mavic 3 have fpv mode
@Lon Denard Thank you!!
@Lon Denard Buying DJI FPV Drone or Buying DJI Mavic 3 Is the best
I downloaded the new firmware for the Mavic 3
I can find master shots ok
How do I find the following mode you hand in the video it was as you said cool
Thanks
Ok in truth that is the first thing that has impressed me with the 3
this video makes me want one 👀
Have you done any testing of obstacle avoidance yet?
Thanks
Happy Flying!
