Active tracking
Can you please add the function of active tracking in Osmo +. It is only a matter of app, because you have it on phantom, mavic and all flying cameras. That can help so much.
Thank you

This has been discussed before, I also would love to see it, however DJI insists it is impossible.

The reason is that Active Track uses lots of processing power, more than the camera has.  The reason it works in the drones is because the drone does the processing, not the camera.  The same thing goes for the Osmo Mobile series, the processing is done in the phone, not the device.

DJI claims to have experimented with having the app do the processing on the phone then communicating the corrections to the camera via the WiFi connection, but they found that it was too slow.  Basically they made it work, but the time it took for the camera to send the images to the phone, then the phone to process the Active Tracking then communicate that back to the camera took too long and prevented it from effectively keeping the subject framed as, by the time the camera corrected, the subject would already be somewhere else.  So the idea was scrapped.

There is a workaround of sorts which uses a third party GPS tracking app, basically it tells the phone to point the camera in the direction of a GPS signal, which requires another device which can transmit that signal.  So what you would do is place a device, like another phone, on whatever you want to track then just start filming.  It’s not exactly the same thing and isn’t nearly as flexible, but it might work for you.

Thank you 9245 for sharing your insights. We hate not being able to offer this but Active Track may not be possible for the Osmo+ due to capability constraints. Thank you for the spot on about this feature Osmo U.

Thanks for the detailed information.

There has to be an efficient way to use the connected device to control the gimbal must like the Osmo Mobile does without affecting the camera itself.  I know its a technical challenge but I think DJI engineers can make it work.  They've done it with the Spark, Osmo Mobile and other drones.

DJI, please work hard at finding a solution, this would make the OSMO+ a well rounded camera.  Love everything about it but miss the Active Track (as I have a spark).

I was disappointed when I saw that I could not do the active track.
I took it for granted

A good advice ..
Next time investing in expensive gadgets, then remember to do a lot
of research before you buy.
There is a ton of review's on YT, and it's not a secret that the OSMO+ do
not offer active track.

You have not fixed this function yet?
2018 already

May I suggest something?

What about putting the ActiveTrack capability into the handle? While you're at it, why not just design a grip/handle around the cinecore?
That way we would be also able to have the X7 as a portable system... That'd be sweet

Well, maybe that's a little bit overkill but seriously: Just put in the technology required into the handle somehow. I'd buy it!

No face tracking in Osmo+ is a HUGE turn off. Specially when you can do it with every other Osmo models and DJI drones launched so far.

Can you tell me what the third party app is?

Many thanks

I have been searching for a good cell phone tracker. Which one would be better guys?

I was waiting for someone reply. Anyways, I found something for tracking my device (iPhone) using an app like cocospy app. Does anyone using this kind of app?

I would like to update you again. Here is the source URL for location tracker https://www.cocospy.com/phone-location-tracker.html

It's not perfect but I could manage this missing feature using Vertical Studio app.
