HI, at what speed can the spark keep up with in active track?

My experience is that it won’t enable unless given permission to change the user setting obstacle to on.
And then max. speed seems to be 10km/h. Otherwise the obstacle avoidance has insufficient time to
stop the spark if it chooses so.
Some time ago i tried tracking a 14km/h tractor. It was too fast to follow.
On the other hand, I think I have seen the spark track faster on youtube

10km/h is pretty slow... I was hopping for more

Yeah it can not follow up if you run fast or are biking at a medium pace

In that movie  https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=117318 Adriano posted that spark was in tracking mode - from 0:20 its for sure more than 10km/h

It depends on the environment. Theoretically, the speed of active track can reach 6m/s in P mode.

Thanks Electra, thats ok 21kmh or little over 13mph

Please note that there is no speed limitation in the active track mode.

from minute 2, but even before, doesn't look it keeps up

I tested mine today. With go app 4.1.15. It can do 20km/h.
The strange part is that it won’t enable unless given permission to enable obstacle avoidance,
while it is not using it. But it leaves it on after the active track session
(Probably a part of a bigger user annoyance conspiracy).

Thanks for the info and your time taken to try this out Heilman.  20km/h is ok 12.4mph its still not fast enough for what I was planning but at least I know thanks

I d't w't to contradict anyone here, just trying 2 help.  I tested spark tracking my car at about 45 kph (28 mph or 12,5 metre-sec) without problem.  I didn't try faster so i d't know the limit.

Hmmm....how did you do this tracking?

I thought active tracking only worked for 100m (300 feet or so)...it looks like you went much further than that.  :-)

That is only if u d't use the RC.. With the remote, sky's the limit (sort of speak)

Cool!  I'm learning new stuff everyday!
