So yesterday I took the mavic while mountainbiking. I still have to find a way to reliably mount the controller to my bike for active tracking... In the meantime, I got to say that it's great for sightseeing. You're really in the air in a matter of seconds

That's the way to enjoy the Mavic, nice video, not crazy about the music, thanks for sharing.

Yeah it's a re-upload, first music was copyrighted. Thanks

Beautiful scenery.
For Active Track, why not just use your phone and mount that to your bike with a cheap handlebar phone mount. No RC needed.

Hi thebmallory

see my video, where the first four tipps are not that interesting anymore, but tipp 5 might be something useful for you

Nice tips--thanks!

Active track in wifi mode was the first thing I tried when I received my mavic. Unfortunately, the fly limitations didn't allow the aircraft to go further than 80m from takeoff point (took me a while to figure this out). Didn't test with later firmware updates though.


Thanks Petbrit for the tip ! I think I'll go with your idea but I'll probably use two phone mounts on each side on my handlebar and use the bottom USB plug of the controller and a long USB cable in order to have the two units extra secure :-)

Perfect, glad to gave you an idea. Let me see your videos. I did not test to much yet, as it is very cold

With the RC and your phone you can also try Follow Me if your phone has GPS.

Here is a huge collection of free music to use on your videos. Ive used several. Also Bensound.com
