I just got the New DJI Spark about 2 weeks ago and would like to know when (or if) follow me (like on the Mavic where it tracks the remote) will be implemented into the active track. I like the active track, however when I am biking and going under trees It loses track of me, ruining my shot. Also I like how the spark stops if it senses an obstacle, however I was hoping that it would sense the obstacle and go around it and continue filming. Lastly how about a charging station that hooks onto the battery and charges VIA micro USB? I love how you can charge the drone VIA usb, but it is annoying how you have to stop flying just to charge a battery if you are out and about. If you have three batteries and one of them is used, I think it would be nice to be able to charge that battery VIA battery bank by usb while flying off the other batteries. The spark is still FAR superior to most drones on the market, it is way better than my Phantom, but I think it could be even better with these suggestion.

Thanks for the brilliant drones DJI, and I hope to see even more innovation come out of this company!

Not sure when we will see follow me, but this is the best little power pack deal you will get for spark.

It's weird, the charging dock I have has a micro USB port on it, but when I plugged it into my 10AH battery via micro USB, it wouldn't change anything

The cheapest USB based option is the Rcharlance charger. it charges off an 2.4 amp USB port, even power packs

I have been looking at that specific charger combo. Its pretty cool, but I'd hate to backpack with that, looks way to cumbersome and heavy. I want-- ideally something that can hook up to a solar panel and or a portable battery and that is still external from the drone so I can continue to fly whilst I charge.

Yes , I have 3, they work well off a battery pack,  but they are a bit slower than the AC charger

The port on the charging hub cannot be used for charging. It's only for future firmware updates for the hub itself.
