I have a Phantom 4 Advanced.

A friend of mine has a Mavic that he can set to Automatic Orbit and...
Automatic Track AND Orbit a moving object.

Is there a way that the Phantom 4 Adv. can be made to do exactly the same thing...?
Automatically:
1) Orbit an Object,
2) Orbit while Tracking.

The P4A has among others the intelligent flight modes 'active track' and 'point of interest'. POI is the same like Orbit on Mavic.
Active track comes with three sub-modes: Profile (or Trace?) - Spotlight - Circle.
You are looking for circle. That would be track + orbit on the Mavic Pro.

Just wondering why different terms are used for Mavic and Phantom ;-)

Thanks for the Info Guys. I've found the Active Track-Trace and purely by accident found Active Track-POI, on a second screen. Trace seems to barely work, but, POI seems to work Great on stationary objects. Thanks !
