I found this very useful and wanted to say thank you for such a well explained tutorial on these amazing functions. 👍

[@MK-Creator]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for taking your time to write a comment 😃

[@grahamniven]

Excellent tutorial, I gave up on Spotlight because it regularly failed to keep locked on chosen subject and the footage was jerky if it worked at all. The location pin option looks to be a good solution, will need to give that a try.

[@MK-Creator]

That sound like something I can relate too! 😃 Thank you so much for sharing!

[@tightropetomg]

LOL that tree behind me gave me a lot of anxiety as you set it off on POI mode 🙂

[@MK-Creator]

Always be aware of your surroundings 😁👍

[@ZookZangsten]

Mats, your instructional videos are awesome! Is there a forum for DJI Mini 3 pro folks to ask questions, etc.? Thank you in advance for any help you may provide.

[@MK-Creator]

Thank you so much 😊 Hmm I don’t know honestly. Do you have any specific question? Me or any of my followers here in this community will most likely be able to assist 😃👍

[@ZookZangsten]

Thanks for the quick reply. I am unable to turn on 'subject scanning'. The slider won't move. Tried dozens of times. The firmware is up to date.@@MK-Creator

[@skf957]

I have the same issue with a M4P. I haven't tried it yet, but would assume the drone has to be in the air for the option to be available. @@ZookZangsten

[@psoon04286]

I want to duplicate what you have done with Spotlight and POI but we have so many trees of various height and density that I just have no confidence it’s going to work. Thanks for taking the trouble👍👍😄

[@MK-Creator]

I love to hear this stories! It’s so inspiring😃👍

[@psoon04286]

@@MK-Creator no kidding, I’ve crashed my precious drone 3 times and I get more cautious each time, so no fancy moves for me. Cheers from BC🇨🇦

I already watched it. It is awesome.

[@MK-Creator]

Ah 😃 I would have guessed 😁👍

[@dayscapeactivities4803]

Great educational video! Does it have to be recording while practicing these features?

[@MK-Creator]

Thank you 🙏 Yes its automatically recording

[@alkuraal17]

Hi there. So are the sensors active in these modes? You probably mentioned but I didn´t pay attention.

[@joaodavidpestana]

If you make a fly over you does he turn around to keep that spotlight on you?drift effect as it's called!

[@jaycrneckiy5699]

Do I need to have camera in “photo” mode in order to use active track, spotlight and poi options? Those features will not come up on my screen and I was told I must be in photo mode. I can’t find anything that says I must be in photo mode

[@dfeick]

how do you synch the audio with the drone video?

[@dronetheworld4k67]

Can I use POI to orbit a person indoors? For example In a HUGE palace or wedding hall to orbit a band or husband a d wife dancing ? Does it work indoors ?

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

Will You launch a video teaching Active Tracking?

[@MK-Creator]

Absolutely. Have you checked out the ones I have? Tracking a 300hp jet ski: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGPLhmybq8adask Drone chasing me in forest: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pX_Wd3VjpZmXitU

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

@@MK-Creator Thanks! One I've seen and now both. Made a comment. Here's the same: Suppose You want to go for a long single trip with the jetski. How to handle the wish of the drone to return home by RTH based on the need for enough battery to the Home Point?

[@Itsjrob_]

My thing is, I know that it has sensors on the front, but if you have it in active track and you’re moving towards the drone and the drone is flying backwards, how can it sense what is behind it won’t it run right into what ever is behind it ? right into something?

[@MK-Creator]

DJI mini 3 pro has obstacle avoidance also backwards 😃👍

[@ButchRisma]

I have the latest firmware on my DJIM3P, but for some reason, I can't get the controller to recognize a subject choosing on the display and won't give me the option for ActiveTrack, Spotlight, or POI!! HELP???

[@MK-Creator]

Have you activated the object tracking in the menu? If yes. Does plus signs show up on objects like yourself?

[@endianAphones]

Would probably be just to keep one of the modes, and an extra button for rotation.

[@digibloei]

with the POI feature it states that object avoidance isn't available. If there's trees or buildings around, how can I stop it from flying into them? I'm a bit scared to use the feauture

[@MK-Creator]

Well…. Keep away from them 😃 or be prepared to hit the stop button on the remote to make the drone hover instead. Or you have to fly above all obstacles. Good luck 😃

[@chamiwithenglish5723]

I have 😮‍💨drone camara bro plz repyle aboyt arriving the massege

[@TheresAGirlInTheGardens]

What lights do you have on it?

[@MK-Creator]

What lights are you referring to? I don’t think I have any special lights in this video… 🙄 You would be able to get some cool b-role shots in your garden videos with a drone! 😃

[@NeathVideos]

How do you get the gps lock to work ?

[@MK-Creator]

You initiate it by dragging a box around what you want to track. Then move slowly left or right and you will see that it changes to a location tracker.

[@NeathVideos]
