I just published up a video on how the Mavic Air works in Active Track, including some of the gotchyas to be aware of.  Overall about the same as previous units.  The auto-recongnition of objects can speed things up a tiny bit, but it doesn't serve much purpose beyond initial recongition.  Note that one test flight did see some weird gimbal jitter, which I haven't seen on any other flights.  Not really sure why that happened, but the rest of the flying you can see nice and clean from a gimbal standpoint.

Would've been even better if the Mavic Air can pull out power meter, HRM, and cadenece data too.

Yeah, I could do it.  And it's honestly not too hard if you've got things in a single shot.  Then you can merge it with any Garmin file (like an Edge/Forerunner/whatever), via VIRB Edit, which is free.  That's all super easy.

That's trickier is that you end up with so many takes with Active Track that it's such a mess from a workload standpoint.  Doing it for something like the Airdog footage is easier because a single take is 15 or so minutes, so logistically  you can do the overlay in one fell swoop and then slice and dice after that.

OMG, that gimball shake is really weird. Okay, you had some high winds, but I hope they can fix this.

Lets hope DJI release a firmware update to add in dynamic home point update and more importantly follow me feature so it tracks the remote. That would be great value add. Great review though.
