Hello Everyone,
I've been playing with my Mavic. Decided today was the day to try the ActiveTrack feature. Jumped on my mountain bike and made an attempt to get Mavic to track me. A few observations:
Unless you have Mavic about 30 feet above you when you initiate ActiveTrack. Mavic can lose track of you pretty easy. I had Mavic about 8 feet above me and moving at about 15 MPH on my mountain bike in an open area Mavic would lose track of me. I was wearing bright colors and plenty of light outside.
Also, if you make a switch back in direction right underneath Mavic it will lose track of you. In each case it just sits and hovers until you use the controller to reacquire ActiveTrack on the target again. I wish you could just move back into its field of view and it would start tracking you again. But, that doesn't seem to be the case.
Mavic did a great job avoiding obstacles as it tracked me such as several large pine trees.
I think the trick might be to start ActiveTrack higher above the object to be tracked.
If anyone has any tips and tricks for ActiveTrack I would appreciate hearing from you.
