You cannot pick and choose the speed in active track mode. That’s why the obstacle avoidance still work it doesn’t matter what you have the switch on the maximum speed for the drone will still be the same when following you. There is no slow medium fast speed in active track. It just does active track.
There is definitely a Speed difference when you have the different modes on and active track is on. If it was in cinematic mode and I had AT on, it would be gone a lot slower, same as I have been a normal speed mode. It definitely was zipping around like it was in sport mode. Based on my testing, it definitely controls the speed of what you have it set to before active track comes on. *** edited ! You are correct the slider controls the speed but when you in sport just the over all movement of the drone was fast up down left right. This is what I noticed compared when I have done this in regular mode. :)
@@JandE-TEX-DRONES misleading information, I’ve been flying DJI drones for eight years I own mini to mini three pro mini, four pro air 2S and I’m very sure you cannot pick and choose speech in active track
@@michaeldanforth3059 well I know we pick the speed by selecting SP, CN, NM . So your saying one you select AT it disables the selection you made before selecting AT? I noticed the over all movement was ver fast like it was in SP. I need to test it when I have it in CIN to see the over all movement .
@@JandE-TEX-DRONES you can select how fast the camera moves and the smoothness of that but not the actual speed of the drone. if you notice before selecting the subject, if you do not have your switch to normal, it tells you it must be in normal to pre-activate the subject
@@michaeldanforth3059 I did not see this message. I was in sport then I selected AT and selected me. When you looked at the top left I see it is in S MODE not P ( Normal) mode.
Here’s a post from 6-2-22 about Active track 4.0 in the Mini 3 Pro. Apparently from the manual. “Active Irack 4.0 ActiveTrack 4.0 consists of Trace and Parallel modes, which support the tracking of both stationary and moving subjects such as vehicles, boats, and people. In Sport, Normal, and Cine modes, the maximum flight speed remains the same. Move the roll stick to circle the subject, pitch stick to alter the distance from the subject, throttle stick to change the altitude, and pan stick to adjust the frame. The aircraft will bypass obstacles in ActiveTrack 4.0 regardless of the settings in DJl Fly when the vision systems are working normally. Trace: The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant distance and altitude, and a constant angle with the direction of the subject. The aircraft can only track subjects in front and will bypass sensed obstacles. The maximum flight speed is 10 m/s. When the user is moving the pitch stick, the aircraft can actively bypass sensed obstacles at the front and back. Note that obstacle avoidance is disabled when the roll stick or the throttle stick is used. Parallel: The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant angle and distance from the side. The maximum flight speed is 13 m/s. Obstacle avoidance is disabled in this mode. In ActiveTrack, the aircraft maintains a distance of 4-20 m when tracking people at an altitude of 2-20 m (the optimal distance is 5-10 m and altitude 2-10 m), and a distance of 6-100 m when tracking vehicles or boats at an altitude of 6-100 m (the optimal distance is 20-50 m and altitude 10-50 m). The aircraft will fly to the supported distance and altitude range if the distance and altitude is out of range when Active Track begins. Fly the aircraft at the optimal distance and altitude for the best performance.”
That is some good info. Also I not sure its totally true but .. My understanding, which might not be fully correct, is that the Air 3 and the Mini 4 Pro both utilize ActiveTrack 5.0 technology, which is what allows the drone to subject scan and identify people, cars, and/or boats. I believe it also utilizes some degree of AI to help it better keep track from farther away and when the subject is momentarily obscured. The Mini 4 Pro also uses ActiveTrack 360, which gives you the ability to predefine min and max height/distance, as well as move the drone to precise points via the UI while tracking is engaged. As far as I know, the Mini 4 Pro is the only DJI drone that currently offers the enhanced functionality.
Thank you so much! Yes, I was pretty amazed after I did the test ! I also saw your RTH coming back under the trees and I LOVE THAT! I have tried to recreate that but I need to find a forest that has a canopy so the drone does not go up lol I have not found one near me yet!
Thank you for the comment! It was a lot of fun but scary in some parts . Yes, I am using the DJI MIC 2 and Osmo Action 4 . For the DJI MiC 2 I did not get the set that came with two receivers. I got the set that has a receiver and a transmitter with that said I never really use the transmitter because the receiver basically does everything I need it to do. I do sync up the receiver with the Osmo Action 4 wirelessly and that works great. You will not be disappointed if you get a set !
What’s up my Texas brother, you had me rolling with your fast walking then full out jog! STOP Doing that, you’re making the rest of us look bad!! Good testing in your vid, glad OA worked good for you. I’ve tested it plenty of times as well as watched vids of others doing the same. I’ve seen plenty crashes when dealing with trees and those fine limbs!! I’m still amazed how well OA actually works, to me it’s nuts. I’ve seen way too many people try to make their drones OA do things that are flat out really asking for too much! Let’s face it, OA is pretty dang cool but everything has a limit. I’ve seen vids where people are on a bicycle and going in between I’m talking tight tight trees and only to complain when the OA hits a limb. That’s of course with the person going really fast as well as tight around things. To me, that’s just asking for a wrecked drone and in my opinion it’s also operator error. The info from DJI makes it abundantly clear what OA can and can’t do, but some just like pushing things to the limit and then complain when an obvious CRASH is coming. Don’t get me wrong, id love to fly with zero concern and do whatever id like to, but I try to keep it real especially when the info is out there from DJI as well from others. Looking forward to getting my channel up, it’s always a time thing! Glad yours is progressing well, keep the vids coming, BUT STOP JOGGING!!! That’s going to end up being a requirement from our better halves with the jogging bit and flying our drones, haha have a good week bro!
🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for your comment. I was just shocked OA was on In Sport Mode! Yeah I do like pushing the limits but would I ever have it in sport and OA NOPE! Just for that test. It was very cool and fun but also scary at times. And the JOG 🤣🤣🤣 more like a slow walk I was doing lol. Again thanks for the comment and yes get your channel up! :) !
Good test, pretty cool and I would have been nervous too doing those tests in Sport Mode🤪. Curious, you mentioned liking the ‘nifty’ bypass mode better, what is the difference from ‘normal’ bypass mode?
Tell the truth I was a little nervous sometimes going around doing that test! As far as nifty and normal, I do like nifty. I did a test in the link below. Nifty will swing around the trees at a closer rate. Check it out! Bypass Settings Test ruclips.net/video/3EtMY2Q_0uM/видео.html
Is it truely in sports mode though? Maybe its actually flying in normal mode even though it says sports mode. Sort of like starting up in sports mode forces normal mode.
I say!! Today was a beautiful day to test so I was extremely happy to get it done and posted! I can say that a few times it really really did scare me because it did zip around those trees really quick! I would love to see the results of your testing! How fast will you push it lol
@@JandE-TEX-DRONESlol well, we tested it and confirmed your results. I’ll post a video referencing your stuff next Monday if you’re good with that. You’ve opened up a new world of possibilities here man!
very nice.............i just got a cheap p13 of ebay for 54$ and even that has it, but when on it slows the drone down and not sure if it go's around like yours lol so far only seen it stop and go backwards a few feet and i not going to try to hit things to see how good it is lol
Thanks for watching and comment! Yeah I would not recommend it! Lol I can say it was fun to test it and I do like push it to the limit sometimes but it was also scary sometimes! 😂😂
@@JandE-TEX-DRONES yeah i've had a few heli's drop out of the sky form pushing them past their limits, in the end i got a 3d heli that i can't out fly lol. and now i'm thinking about one of those race drone and goggle job lol
I mean the height wont be exact AGL. But I think of it as say your taking off and you’re on a small hill and all the other land is flat. Well when you are landing you will actually see the negative. Also think if your taking off from a cliff same thing.
Thats not what my test showed. When I selected AT while in SP I saw that OA did come on. (That is what I really wanted to test)With that said I know you control the speed on PIO with the slider but the over all movement of the drone seemed really fast like IN SP. But I may need it on CIN and see what the movement of the drone looks like. Thanks for your comment!
@@JandE-TEX-DRONES Good idea. Try it in Cini. You'll know then for sure. But I feel it doesn't matter what speed mode you're in OA, it just follows at the speed of the object needed. I also have the Mini 4 Pro. I'm curious to try this test as well.
Why take off under trees? How will a true RTH manage that? Start where there's clear sky above. Sports Mode and OA on? OA is surely on but will the drone be able to stop in time? Surely not.
I always hand launch and never use the RTH home really unless I have to. I knew this test would not be about going high but about avoiding obstacles. Watch the video it did. It did a great job.
@@JandE-TEX-DRONES I do the same unless the roof of the car is a good take off place. RTH is not really used, tried for fun to initiate the home flight occasionallt. I see RTH as the last resource in case of a controller brake down. Suppose a joystick jams, turning off the controller could be one way ut of the situation. Okey, lo flying the entire flight..... I saw the video. Still I wonder if the drone, going at top Sports speed, will manage to stop. You flew at rather low speed it looked like.
@@Stefan_Boerjesson yes the slider for speed does set the speed but when you are in sport mode just the over all movement of the drone is fast . From up down and left and right. One of the main things I wanted to see if you really could have OA on in sport mode.
@@JandE-TEX-DRONES I suppose it's a feature found only in the Mini 4 pro. Mini 3 pro as well as Mavic 3 pro announces OA not available. Needs to be checked next time.
