Hi guys, quick question regarding active track mode, can I change attitude of the mavic during active trace mode?
Practical reason being I want my drone to track me walking uphill, and i will gradually lift up the aircraft when it's tracing me, does it work this way?

Thanks vm.

There's a Terrain mode that will follow you and adjust for elevation going up.

terrain mode will follow an object? I thought i only keep it's relative altitude constant above the terrain it is flying over.

I never tried it but just looked it up and it's not a follow me mode. I came across this video though that says active track will stay at a specified height and goes up as the terrain goes up.

It seems to only like to stay at the desired altitude of the Mavic is moving slowly.  Flying quickly will crash your DJI drone (anything capable of Terrain Follow) or it may just stop from OA.  

Slowly as in 2mph and it still is sluggish.
