[@Greglaz125]

@@maurocavalli It has 8 updates so far and 3 of them keep fixing bugs.There's just no way it still misses the subject so easily.I believe it's fixed at this point. So far I watched some mini 3 pro videos and it performs exceptionally well, at release, under the same tracking hardware and it also happens to be a sub series. Air2S is a main series, slightly more expensive and fails?Hard to believe.Might had problems at release but they learned from their mistakes and fixed them.That's why mini 3 pro is so great at release.

[@maurocavalli]

@@Greglaz125 Air2S is bigger but has a slow processor. Calculate distances slower than the mini 3. The front sensors are also less accurate. Technology goes on

@@maurocavalli Thanks!! the Air 2 Active track is good for following my mountain bike up hill, but downhill, i out run it, turn too sharp, start too fast or too slow, so it loses me quick... the Air 2s supposedly is faster and more aggressive about following me... i don't usually get the drone out in the trees much, so it sounds like its worth upgrading... rght now, there are so many times i don't bother with the drone because it won't keep up with me... maybe if i have a faster one, i'll actually use it. keep riding... love the views in your vids.

[@yayay29pollici]

great test taken to the extreme in the woods where it managed to track you quite well. Perhaps if it had been lower it would have passed better under the branches. To use it on mtb already with a license, do you recommend the Air 2S or the Mini 3 Pro? I don't know if the mini without the 2 sensors follows in the same way, but it has the weight, flight range and aperture of 1.7 vs 2.8 on its side. I have the Air 1 it's in the active track it doesn't change altitude, low autonomy, put the Rc in the backpack and you're already at 50% and you can't follow yourself well when changing direction

[@maurocavalli]

Yes... if the altitude does not change, it's already a problem in addition to the autonomy. I recommend the mini 3 pro, in some cases it followed me better than the Air2s: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJOro4mCgbh8p5o In a few days I will get the Air 3 and do some testing with that too

[@yayay29pollici]

@@maurocavalli hi, the Air 1 does not change the altitude in the active track, not online my drone. It change only in gesture mode but follow me a few meters, 6 meters and this is no good

Ciao Mauro. Great shots! Obviously, you put your remote control in your backpack. How do you handle that? I mean, can you block the sticks and the phone so no buttons are pressed inside the backpack?

[@maurocavalli]

Ciao C.J. grazie! The sticks are removed, the phone has the screen turned off and locked. In theory, there is a risk of pressing a few buttons on the remote control but it didn't happen to me

[@huskerjeff1]

Hey Mauro, what, if any, concerning issues did you run into in your testing that you can share with me to be ready for? And in Activetrack mode, does the drone automatically decide how high/low/close to the subject it stays or are these parameters something you set? GREAT VIDEO by the way! Thanks!

[@maurocavalli]

Thanks Jeff. It decides on his own, when you go fast it moves away and when you slow down it approaches you. Advice .... well .. avoid the woods, better in the open spaces. Beware that if you brake sharply it overwhelms you. Do not use the activetrack when someone is around (often mistake one subject for another). Make short pieces because when you get too far from the starting point, at 30-40% of the battery the return home begins. If you put the remote control in your backpack like I did it is a problem. The parallel mode is much more suggestive but also risky since it does not have side sensors (only open spaces)

[@maurocavalli]

When you select the subject it asks you. Trace or Parallel. Maybe it won't let you select because you are too close or you have too high frame rate (only works in 4k 30fps or lower). To make the parallel work well, however, you have to go slow otherwise it turns into a trace

I want to do this, but for some reason it doesn't recognize me on my bike when I try to select. I get an error message that it only works on cars and people. Any ideas or suggestions?
