DJI Mini 4 Pro - LOW LIGHT Active Track: Is the Aux Light Enough?

The DJI Mini 4 Pro comes equipped with a built-in auxiliary light, designed to function like a flashlight, illuminating the area beneath the drone. However, when it’s dark or in low-light conditions, you may encounter the message: "Lighting in current environment too dark. Unable to use ActiveTrack."
In this video, I test whether the auxiliary light provides enough illumination to enable ActiveTrack in challenging low-light environments. Will the DJI Mini 4 Pro’s aux light be enough to keep ActiveTrack functioning when it’s needed most? Watch to find out!

Very well done But I wanna know after the current update you've tried the active track. Since your previous video it keeps loosing when you get behind some trees. I wish I could try but I'm in the windy and rainy season. Good luck bro Stay blessed and safe all the time Amen Welbeck here from Accra Ghana West Africa

[@clinkerbreaker9332]

HAHAHAH!!! The chicken.....

[@MK-Creator]

😂👍🏼

[@D78975]

Hi! Do you use FCC occasionally because your RC can't give you so much distance and with CE don't cover so well behind or far side obstacles, do you know or tried with big batteries and if so does the mini 4 pro eknowledge the big betteries? ty and best regards.

[@MK-Creator]

The system automatically switches between CE and FCC depending on your GPS location 😊👍🏼

[@D78975]

That's not the case if we are stuck in EU country.... and I have difficulty to understand how to solve the problem wen we have the drone behind trees and we are 500 meters distance and I Believe that even the RC2 with ocusynk 04 don't solve the problem and I can see the situation with you about use the tracking , the drone can't find you when you are not in site that means no CE contact with the drone when we are in Europe, that's wy my question about if you have tried FCC, for a drone so expensive like mini 4 pro that's not so nice... maybe I by one and then upgraded with FCC.

[@Teflonfilmare]

Then u really want to purchase DJI Cellular Dongle 2 4G which solves everything I can tell ❤️ TGIF 😂 ​@@D78975

[@Ralph073]

I did this ame thing a few weeks ago...but at sunset...the active track on my mini pro 4..didnt work as well..yea its a Camera thing not enought light..was thinking of using a friend with a BIG flashlight to shine on me..while i tryed this.

[@MK-Creator]

Thanks for sharing! 😃👍🏼

[@oregon1232]

I was wonder if subject had head lamp or something it might stay locked on.

[@Ralph073]

@@oregon1232 it headlamp would have to shine back toward the drone..and not light up the person being recorded.

[@DrKrakencito]

so its just for landing and to know where the h3ll is the drone, right?

[@MK-Creator]

Correct you can in the settings switch from auto on to always on, and also off… if you want to :)

[@bubba6richards729]

What about wearing a headlamp 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@albertross-ndt]

I always 👍 “Liked” your videos and I (used) to subscribe to your channel, however if I had to buy someone a coffee or pay €4 every time I liked or watched a KZbin video, I wouldn’t couldn’t and divnt. Sorry.

[@MK-Creator]

Thank you so much for sharing your thought. It sounds like you think my videos are behind a paywall, but that is not the case. Some videos are indeed behind a pay wall but those videos are solely for my channel members. Others I just kindly ask for them to consider a tiny donation if they find a video specifically useful or helpful. About the same way as one give a tip to a waiter or a server at a restaurant if they provide excellent service. The great thing about buying me a coffee or a super thanks is that it’s voluntary and not a demand. Thanks for your understanding.
