Stunning footage! I very much appreciate having this kind of video quality on a mini drone!

[@dronature]

Stunning views! Really well done mate :D

[@rcsbyrich3035]

Amazing video, I need to grow a pair and trust the active track . Thanks 😊

[@TheSaint226]

Simple, but VERY effective test... really impressed

[@georgeespinoza469]

Awesome features to use together with the upgraded camera specs!

[@TonesDroneVisuals]

I'm still amazed by active track. I'm yet to try it with my Mini 3👍

[@carlosjohnson8135]

Impressive Active Track on the Mini 3 Pro! Great improvements DJI did on this one!

[@teerawattang5071]

Thanks for the test. Did you leave side way fly enable ?

[@irving313]

Amazing video , 🤗

[@jesusgjchuza6491]

Fantastic 🤝😎🤟🏼

[@kimtyson7908]

Did you update to most recent firmware? Fixed most of the range issues. Great test in that circle. M3P was an all star. New sub here.

[@7777russ]

Great video, excellent advise to wear contrasting clothing so the drone can track you better.

[@dennysmith2291]

Looking forward to seeing the Hyperlapse videos

[@CliveDrone]

Thanks Stefan. Great info as always. I haven't heard the term "RPAS 4.0 system" used before. Is that the current firmware you are referring to?

[@StefanMalloch]

My bad, I meant APAS.

[@matthewtwist4691]

At 5:52 you're talking about parallel, and the drone pans around your front side. How do you achieve that? And do you think this would work for the happy couple at a wedding???

[@hungryhogg]

What's it like in cine mode using active track? is that possible?

[@VoieYage]

Hyperlaps would be great ! Thank U

[@brothers9001]

I’m a new to this drone, i got my dji mini 3 pro. The one I can’t find is the active track so,i can use the follow me.. can you please help me where i can find the active track? Thanks so much

[@Carlos_Vasquez]

🔥🔥🔥

[@focaltime9772]

Please check noise test at various heights distance etc

[@khadijaYZ]

Can you please do more active tracking from the front? Thanks!

[@irving313]

What kind of E bike do you have?

[@big7deal6s5]

Great video. If it fits your budget, would you consider it a solid beginner drone?

[@StefanMalloch]

Absolutely! The obstacle sensors ad confidence. Incredible IQ SOOC. Very fun! Just get more than 1 battery!

[@benjamindover4337]

Cool

[@ArminHirmer]

great! can you set kind of min flight height to where the drone always comes back? I need it to fly eye level

[@StefanMalloch]

Yes you can adjust elevation. Eye level is a bit sketchy tho..

[@ArminHirmer]

@@StefanMalloch thanks. why sketchy? Just from the perspective of a human

[@StefanMalloch]

Just more to hit low like that for me. No sideways sensors on this guy. Will make for some good footage tho

[@timwithers2866]

Has the new firmware update solved the range issue problems for you? I bought one yesterday, but it’s too windy today for me to feel comfortable flying it high enough or far enough to test the range out.

[@StefanMalloch]

Yes its not perfect but it has been improved!

[@atravels1055]

Are you able to comment on the blurry artifacts that appear all around you, almost like an invisible outline? I noticed this when I tried some activetrack today on a sunny afternoon in the park. When the drone gets within a certain range (say 20 ft or closer) to the subject, you can see this transparent blur/glitchy pixels all around the subject, but it's almost see-through. It fades away when the subject gets further out. You can see what I mean when you look at your red jacket - all around the outline of yourself, the image looks smeared, like a tranparent ghost border that is blurry/pixelated.

[@d.105]

How do you turn on "Active Track"? I tried it all afternoon to turn it on but the option Active Track, etc. does not show on the controller.

[@StefanMalloch]

Just swipe a box around a subject or look for the +. It only works in some video settings.

[@paulreportingliv]

I’m waiting for DJI to fix their advertised 12km range before I buy it… Thanks for addressing this problem and active track is something I plan to use… You live in really nice community, is it north of Vancouver???

[@TonesDroneVisuals]

You'll be waiting a while...

[@StefanMalloch]

They claim less range depending on interference but its still no where close to advertised..

[@StefanMalloch]

South btw

[@slimnil2124]

It's APAS 4.0. 7:17 🤩

[@StefanMalloch]

That's the one!

[@slimnil2124]

@@StefanMalloch Great work on your part. Thanks for sharing. 😎
