Hi everyone,
Is there a way, during active tracking (or POI) when tracking a vehicle, that I can:

  • Determine the distance between the controller and the drone? I can't seem to move the active track menu at the bottom of the screen. I’ve tried accessing the settings, but from what I understand, I can only adjust parameters for human tracking.
  • Move the object (vehicle) sideways? I can adjust the gimbal to move up or down, but I'm having trouble with lateral movement.

Additionally, I’d like to know what happens if I activate Return-to-Home (RTH) when the drone is under obstacles, like trees, car port. I’ve read the manual sections on the different RTH modes, but I want to be certain before testing, as I don’t want to risk a crash. With obstacle avoidance enabled, will the drone try to navigate out of the obstacle area before finding a clear path? Or will it simply ascend to its RTH height and risk crashing into the trees/roof?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I think this question should be in the products section. This section is not very busy.

Hi there, thank you for reaching out with your inquiries on the Air 3. To determine the distance between the controller and the aircraft, you can move the pitch stick to alter the distance from the subject. You may refer to the user manual when using the Point of Interest 3.0 (POI 3.0).

For the gimbal, it is a 3-axis gimbal that stabilizes the camera. the tilt (up and down) goes from a range of -90º to +60º and the control pan (left and right) is from the range of -5º to +5º. Use the gimbal dial on the remote controller to control the tilt of the gimbal. Alternatively, do so through the camera view in DJI Fly. Press and hold the screen until the gimbal adjustment bar appears. Drag the bar up or down to control the tilt and left or right to control the pan.

During RTH and obstacle avoidance, the aircraft will not exceed the maximum flight altitude while rising to avoid obstacles. At that time, if the aircraft cannot avoid obstacles, it will hover in situ and will not land until the Critical Low Battery Warning is shown.

We hope this answers your inquiry. Let us know if there is anything else you would like to ask. Have a good day ahead!
