So I know it is possible to take selfies in gesture mode with the spark and that it will active track.
My question is can you activate active track with video without the remote I’d when hiking would be a lot quicker

Hi, thanks for the inquiry. The Active track feature can be used without the remote controller, however, you have to have a mobile device that is connected to the aircraft directly via wi-fi. You may refer to the images below for using the Active track feature. Hope that this would clarify your query.
