Hi all, I'm looking at getting my first drone and have a question about how Active Track works, even after watching a few videos on the subject. My question is how does the drone maintain altitude in Active Track? Removing the need for obstacles causing the need for altitude change does Active Track try to keep the drone a fixed altitude above the target it's tracking?
I think my most technically demanding use for it would be to follow a vehicle. As I'll only be using this for my entertainment (no commercial use for the video) I don't want to spend thousands so I was looking at the Mavic 2 Air, or Air 2S drones as a top speed around 40mph gives useful flexibility. I understand that using Active Track in Normal mode has all the collision avoidance sensors on, and that for the drone to track at it's top speed it needs to be in Sport mode which disables collision avoidance sensors. That obviously limits where I would use it and I'm fine with keeping it to places devoid of obstacles, or off road etc as I've got a holiday planned that involve snowmobiles and husky dog sleds, and ideas for a safari on the horizon as well. I need it to hold it's altitude relative to the target it's tracking so if I was to encounter a hill the drone wouldnt try and follow without increasing height to compensate.
Finally, yes I'm aware of the UK CAA/EASA requirements and will be looking in to an A2 certificate to ensure I'm appropriately qualified to do some of that stuff. I've got long enough to do the requisite learning.
