There is a lot of room for improvement on the Active track. As I told you earlier, I have had the same experiences, that you should go slow, and in reality have no obstacles around 🙂.
the main challenge on this anti track is about the color of your outfit so he can track you properly. I'm doing foiling and use a yellow fluo t-shirt and it follow me way better than with a blue t-shirt... on water
I did some testing with the Air3 active track and it's my experience that it loses the subject easier than the Mini 3 pro just like you experience in this video, I just gave up on the activetrack for now, it was pretty much unusable, even with people walking slowly.
Great video, maybe if the drone was a little closer it wouldn't have lost track of you so many times? Do you know what the max speed active track is on my dji mini 3 pro?
I am so glad that in my country (Slovenia), the beaches (10 meters or more from water) are considered common good and not private property. It's a shame that some countries still allow that. Anyway, great video! :)
I thought maybe I would consider moving up to the Mini 4 pro from the Mini 3 which I currently have for one of several features including active tracking but after seeing how weak this feature is, I’ll stick to my Mini 3 for awhile I think. That is pretty disappointing how it falls off the subject so easily.
Remember the video you did with the mini 3 pro? It was amazing. By the way, one of the reasons i bought the mini 3 pro. Last week, i was in cadiz, and i was doing an active track of a guy on one of those motorized surf boards. I had it on POI rotation, and the footage was incredible. Not only that, he was cutting inside and outside of the axis of rotation, and the drone followed him perfectly, making dramatic but perfectly smooth adjustments. It was so good it almost looked like an FPV.
I've upgraded to M4P this week. Went to see how Active Track works and had a crash on the very first try (drone flew backwards into branches with leaves on). I was walking slowly so the drone had all the time in the world. I have no idea how can they state that this thing has Omni Directional obstacle avoidance and provide this wheel with drone positions where you can place it anywhere you want. Didn't DJI test it to see that it does not work well enough?
My Air 2s also has major problems locking on and staying locked on my 2021 Seadoo RXTX 300hp machine. I've stopped trying to use it while on the seadoo, it's useless for that. I now have a Mini 4 Pro as well and I'm not so sure there is any improvement.
I think you should try it with the drone being a bit closer to you. I´ve often experienced tracking problems when the subject is to far away on all kinds of DJI Drones. It should be a lot better when it´s at least 50% closer than you´ve tested here.
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
So glad you did this test. Just last week I was pumped to go take footage of my brother in law on his new Seadoo and my Mini Pro 4 kept loosing him. Thought it was me ! 😢 sad it didn’t work though. Mine was also flying super high whenever the jetski was going fast and then lost it. What’s the point of having the little boat 🛥️ symbol if the drone can’t track in low contrast on the water right!! Cheers mate from 🇨🇦
Hi! So happy that you found your way here! When you are comfortable the best is to fly manual in sport mode. Possibly in combination with Spotlight mode. 😃🙏
maybe your jet ski is too small to be a boat with better tracking, still tracks it but struggle, also it tracks better where subject is (bigger or closer)
The spume of the water same as the color of your white tshirt and jetski is recognized by the drone. So it disconnected from you if some other things have the same white colors.
Good footage when it wasn't losing you. I deel like you flew way too high with the drone. You xan also zoom in and it with track better. Remember the "subject" needs to take up at least 15-20% of the screen. Sun was quite bright also. I would have had at least an ND32 Filter running. I generally prefer parallel tracking over 360. Thanks!
You need to bring it lower and closer, too far for the auto track to lock onto your boat properly. You won't have to bring it directly above water, it won't crash if it was 10m+ above the surface.
Low cost camera-based drone can't autonomously track an object reliably that rapidly transforms from a small stationary jet-ski to a fast-moving object at the tip of a massive wake. Shocker.
I apologize in advance for my criticism. Limitations using ActiveTrack (Veh./Boats) refer to User Manual: v1.0 2023.09 The max flight speed is 12 m/s. Hor. Dist.: 6-100 m (Optimal 20-50 m) Alt.: 6-100 m (Optimal 10-50 m) Look at "D" in your footage when trying to focus the target (5:07 D 276 m!) "AUTO": Do not try a feature, not knowing what is behind it!
Thanks for taking your time. The max flight speed is added to the video actually ;) and that’s why I included m/s on all speed indicating texts don’t could easily be compared. The Distance indicated on the remote is from the HOME POINT. Not the remote, unfortunately. That’s why the drone is returning back to the take off point (home point) and not to where the remote is :) Thanks for your support!
I subscribe to your videos and I am impressed, but I don’t care for the music at all, it’s too loud, repetitive and most of all unnecessary. I need to hear your commentary not dramatic Muzak. Sorry
I really hate the mini 4 pro for active track ... ive been having the same problems . the mini 3 pro did it to me also but way less and did much better then the mini 4

How about if you change the active track settings so that it tracks you lower and closer?...maybe would work better?
Nice footage and very beautiful Nature - Love it ))
It’s just breath taking! 🥰
Looks like the contrast play a big role to keep tracking....
It definitely seems to play a role.
Wonder if the wake confuses it

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and suggestions. However, I don’t wanna be dressed in fluorescent clothes to be able to use active track 😂
Nicely done

Hi bro... good job... nicely done, just one this when you are moving fast you can change settings to sports mode and try how it works.
Beautiful setting though! 👌
😃👍🏼

You also need to use a CLP filter and it will work much better under that condition

Maybe the mini5 will have some AI and hoping to be better on active tracking but have to say its done well to keep DJI are the best
Doesn’t the 4 use ai for its tracking?

I tried also to start super close but after a minute it was super far again…
I had same issues like you :( everytime it lost an object.
I wonder if the Mavic 3 Pro would do better?
mavic 3 classic does not pretty similar to this
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
This location looks familiar. I recall some of the tests you did with the Mini 3 Pro at this lake🙂
🤩👍🏼 I love this place!
You can change in the settings how far and high it will go on activetrack
So glad you did this test. Just last week I was pumped to go take footage of my brother in law on his new Seadoo and my Mini Pro 4 kept loosing him. Thought it was me ! 😢 sad it didn’t work though.

@@MK-Creator great tip. Thanks
maybe your jet ski is too small to be a boat with better tracking, still tracks it but struggle, also it tracks better where subject is (bigger or closer)
Which the top speed ?
Eine sehr gute Drohne ich habe die Air 3 🤗✌️👍💪
Needs a GPS beacon Like skydio
@@IdahoMthman You mean so it Just follows the remote Signal ?
Yes skydio is great at speeds 35. mph
The spume of the water same as the color of your white tshirt and jetski is recognized by the drone. So it disconnected from you if some other things have the same white colors.
Thanks for sharing your theory 😊
What speed can it travel
I think I mentioned that in the video… but the max speed is 16m/s. 12m/s in active track.
Nice
Good footage when it wasn't losing you. I deel like you flew way too high with the drone. You xan also zoom in and it with track better.

Thanks!
Same problem I'm facing with mine mini 4 pro
My old Mavic could follow the controller signal.
Which version of drone was that?
@@MK-Creator Think it was the first Mavic remember using it to film my car while I was driving it.

Em, the mini 3 pro does it almost perfectly.
@dannyhendy exactly that’s what I’m saying
I apologize in advance for my criticism.

They really need to sell us Beacons like some other brand.
Maybe the M4P is afraid of the water 🌊
active tracking is not working on any sunlight reflection area, specially on the water you go into sunlight area you will loose tracking immediately
It would be better if Dji brings AI into it.
Vs skydio
Don’t know actually.
So... is good, but not that good
Active track is a gimmick I just don’t trust it at all
I subscribe to your videos and I am impressed, but I don’t care for the music at all, it’s too loud, repetitive and most of all unnecessary. I need to hear your commentary not dramatic Muzak. Sorry
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your feedback.
Cheapest drone with follow-me could do a much better job.
I believe if you click the X instead of drawing the box around you would be better to locking on. That works better for me.
I really hate the mini 4 pro for active track ... ive been having the same problems . the mini 3 pro did it to me also but way less and did much better then the mini 4
