HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июл 2024
- This is a tutorial and example of how to use the active track feature on a drone while riding a motorcycle. This video is specifically about the DJI Mavic Air but the process is the same on any drone with active track or follow me available in the quick fly features.
At the end is an example of the type of footage you are able to get when flying a drone that follows you on your motorcycle.

Hey Tim cool video. I am a commercial drone pilot and here is a rule you want to consider. “No person may operate a small unmanned aircraft system
From a moving aircraft
From a moving land or water-borne vehicle unless the small unmanned aircraft is flown over a sparsely populated area and is not transporting another person’s property for compensation or hire”
Thanks Jim, that is really helpful! I couldn't find the rules so I was hoping for the best but it is good to know!
Great video Tim, thanks
Great information, Thank you.
Very cool Tim , thanks ! Your videos continue to be really helpful and entertaining. Cheers from Toronto where riding season is finally here again 👍
Cool stuff, glad you are happy with your drone and getting good use out of it.
Tim, I'm not a drone or even photo type guy, but it is great to see you receiving all the positive comments below of those who are or planning to move into the drone world. Clearly there is a 'market' for such knowledge out there. Might want to keep developing it. A big thumbs up for your innovation with this vid.
Thanks a lot for the video! 👍 Very useful information!
Great tips. I’ve wanted to try it this weekend. 👍👍👍
Great tips! and love the relaxed and fresh way of presenting. Thanks for this video, more than valuable to me as I'm investigating exactly this. Have an adventure bike and now a Mavic air. So cant wait to go out there and try it for myself.
Thanks! I have a Mavic Air, looking forward to trying this stuff out! Especially the longer cord.....
Great Video and very good production. Thanks for taking the time to edit your video so well. I can't wait to try this out on our Channel
Tim - love the way you keep expanding your content and creativity! Adding the drone footage is very cool. I also appreciate the "behind the scenes" tutorials. Very cool to see how you put your videos together.
Awesome! Thank you!
Hell yeah..
Great tips buddy.
I just got one of those and this info came in the perfect timing..
Thank you so much for sharing.
🤘
No problem 👍
Amazing technology. You are really getting some great video. Best of luck and keep up the great work. Ride safely.
Great tips, thank you for the video👍😜
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. You inspire me!
Thanks!
Tim, great tutorial. I’ve been struggling with the controller while on the bike, and your pro tip was excellent.
Glad it helped!
YEP, love the new intro. :) awesome real world how the drone reacts to situations..(thumbs up) spray paint it Orange. end sequence Pro Pro Pro.
Darryl here, that was interesting and informative. You gave me some ideas to help with a drone search for me. Thanks.
Thanks for the video. I've been thinking about getting a drone myself as well as getting back into photography and video with a DSLR.
Love the new intro and the camera was perfect today. Hugely informative video and your skills at composing are top notch. I've been considering this and just watching your video has convinced me to purchase.
Much appreciated!
thanks for the great drone tips. Very helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great information and tips. Another good video.
Glad you enjoyed it
The footage you can get on these is amazing. I didn't realize they'd put such high definition cameras on these
What a great video. I really enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it
Top vid there Tim.. I have the same drone but havn't really got out to much to give it a good try it with the bike yet.... Awesome channel content ;-)
I just got the mavic 2 pro recently for the same purpose. It works awesome.
great video, i use a gopro mount to the handle bar mount, for the controller, works really good
Great video. I'd love to get a drone, I'm just not sure I'd get much use out of it seeing how I ride on road only.
That's great tips there. I've tried to fly and ride, my biggest challenge was keeping the remote secured. My favorite tip was the tank bag and using the longer cable. Never thought of that. I'll definitely be implementing it next time 🙏
Glad that tip was helpful! It made a big difference for me.
Great tutorial!
Thank you!
Interesting thoughts and tips. Look forward to your use of the drone in your future videos
Thanks! 👍
SO COOL. Tracking. You've got your stuff.together Man. I Like it...
Much appreciated!
Timely.... I am headed to the motor unit's spring training today and this will be my first outing with my DJI Mavic!!! Great timing!!!
Have fun! Good luck with the drone!
Nice video I live on east coast and there are no cool roads near me and it really does stink I would love to ride on some of those roads!!!
Tim, enjoyed the video. Good footage at the end. One thing to consider is that you can change the speed in post production making it look like you are going at a faster rate of speed. Use with caution as the little movement hiccups will tell off on you. One other thing worth mentioning is the antennas on the controller work best if straight up,
I first bought the Mavic Pro just because of its size to be able to carry it with me on bike trips. I intend to start using it to add footage to my videos. It's a little tougher here, forest areas are not friendly to self flying drones.
Ride smart and looking forward to more drone footage on your channel.
This was helpful. We just got a great deal on the Fly More kit from Best Buy because they were about to announce the Air 2. $450 off!
Good tip about running a cable from the controller to the phone. I was wondering how I was going to monitor it from the bike so that's awesome!
Glad I could help!
Now I like you video first and then watch it. I know its going to be good :-)
Thanks!
Same here.
Attach miniature running lites that blink, enjoyed the video.
I had no idea what that USB port on the bottom of the control was for. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
Just ordered the new Mavic Air 2 today. I'm most excited to try out the ActiveTrack 3.0 feature. Thanks for sharing your experience and tips.
Is it worth the upgrade? I didn't know about it. I will check it out.
Right after I posted this comment, few minutes later, RUclips recommended me an Air 2 reiview! Crazy!
Diego Astorga Big Brother is watching every move you make! 😄
I don't really have any interest in a drone. But, the info is great to know just in case.
Nice, professional transitions. Continually stepping up the quality. Reinvestment is the way to go.
Stay safe Brother!
Thanks Norsefalconer, glad you enjoyed this one! I tried camping in a hammock the other day and it was great, thanks again for that eBook
Thanks for the tips, mate. I guess you'd like to paste some retro reflective fluorescent orange paper onto the back of your drone. Orange is the complementary colour of blue in the colour wheel and really stands out against blue sky. It's also easy to spot against dark clouds or green leaves. Looking forward to more such pro-level tutorials.
That's a great idea! Thanks my friend!
Good tips Tim. I find it funny how you give the drone a personality... I don't know where you went? Hey, where did you go?
Very cool, I tried this on one of my videos with a vehicle on the farm... havent yet tried for my bike. We don;t have the risk of "Trees" here in the Karoo, but I am a bit scared of trying. Drones are so expensive :/
Great timing! I am going to make the plunge and get a drone this week. Always solid advise, Thank You. Where was the Video shot at ? I'm trying to place the area. It looks familiar?
The talking bits are off of Sonoran Desert Drive and the riding parts are north of Bartlett lake
Another one of my many hobbies and interests is flying RC aircraft, the 100% active piloted type, haven't played with one of these self flying ones with training wheels yet, LOL. ;) Just thought I'd throw in that yes, absolutely, a wide stripe of contrasting color makes them MUCH easier to see. Reflective or neon even better, and if it's offset to one end or the other it can also help with orientation. Most often I'll put a wide stripe on the bottom of one wing on an airplane, but definitely on the bottom for obvious reasons. A good source is sign shops. They've almost always got some scraps laying around they'll give away for free, and even if you have to buy a little piece it won't be much. I've built several planes that I've decorated entirely with scrap sign vinyl mined from dumpsters behind sign shops, LOL.
LOL I am just not that skilled to fly and ride at the same time yet so I still need the training wheels haha. Great tip, I am going to get some of that reflective tape. Thanks!
FTA Adventures NOBODY is that skilled my friend, please don’t try it! LOL We’d like to keep you around, LOL 😉
Sweet footage & informative video. I think it would be cool to have a drone but I can’t think of much that I do that others are dying to see. When you incorporate clips of drone footage into your videos it really adds to the whole video. Magpie and Pedro Moto do this as well and it is really great and adds a lot. Just not sure, without the RUclips Chanel format if people would want to watch my footage:-) How are you liking your tank bag? I also have the Nomad & I’m still getting used to it. I like it well enough but I haven’t fallen in love yet.
Thanks Rik! I love the tank bag, it took some getting used to going from the one big pocket (that you can stuff a ton of stuff into) to switching to the smaller tank bag with more pockets but everything stays super organized.
Thanks for a great tutorial! You're "pro tip" on using the middle USB port on the controller is genius!
I have been having issues where my Mavic Air will only Active Track for about 1,500 feet even when I am using the controller. You mentioned at about 5:20 that with the controller it doesn't have a limit "unless you set it that way". I haven't changed any settings so maybe mine are wrong by default? Could you tell me where the setting is so it will follow me in Active Track until *I* decide to stop? Thanks!
loud pipes save lives :-). Great vid Tim.
Thanks Kyle!
Hey Tim excellent tips video. I still have the Spark & I velcro the controler to tank bag then keep phone in my bar mount but turned sideways, no cable needed as the phone and controller are connected via wireless, does the AIR not have that option ? Again great video thanks.
I think the air does have that option, I will have to try that. Thanks!
I’m still going to get the Mini just because of cost. I will fudge the video by having it film stationary while I drive toward then film separate going away. It’s a good start !!!
That is a great system!
great video I've just watched an add for a new drone. Xdrone HD..at the moment its coming in at £75. going to order mine today. mavic air is way out of my budget..
ps that was some beautiful music at the end of the vid what is it and where can I get a copy x
Thanks! I do the music from epidemicsound.com it is called "Like Mermiads" by Roof
Tim. Do you shoot all of your footage at 60fps? GoPro and drone?
How do you get it to zoom in when you are moving? It was tracking you from the side and then zoomed in nicely.
It was actually an accident, the drone went rogue but it looked good so I kept it in. It almost hit the mountain after that shot lol
@@FTAAdventures That's too bad about the drone going rogue and the near crash. Be careful out there. Wiuld you buy this drone again knowing what you do now?
How windy can it be for launch
Fairly windy, I'm not sure exactly though. It will give a warning before it goes too high if it senses too much wind,.
Typo at 2:16 :-)
Its all about the basics
Good eye!
Please tell me you murdered that bird.
Really helpful tips Tim, thanks for this one. Also really enjoyed the Mosko moto review👍
Glad you enjoyed it
