Hey all!

I am trying all of the features of my Phantom 4 out and recently I have been fiddling around with Active track. I realize that it keeps the same height and all, but is there any way to change the fixed distance? I was filming some of my neighbours water skiing and it kept quite far away from the action.

If there is a quick fix in the settings, I would love to know! If I will have to live with it, it works just fine so I have no problems

Cheers!

When you are tracking your subject, I think the minimum height is like 9 feet or somewhere around there, while the camera is following your subject you can both raise and lower and also do a 360 around the subject using the sticks on the RC. I don't think you can get it closer though because left or right makes it orbit.

Forward and backwards on the right stick adjusts the distance, left and right orbit the subject, and the left stick adjusts the height, but when water skiing it may have difficulty keeping up.   I suggest you try it out following you walking about until you understand it, and keep it above head height just in case!

Thanks for the tip! I will run some more tests then try it again. Cheers!

To ensure the active track effect, the drone should fly at the height of 3-5m,  and the distance between aircraft and tracking target should be around 5-15m. Also, below is a video of tracking tips for reference:
