Here are 10 Cinematic DRONE Moves To Fly Like a PRO! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHWsd4ehgNepsK8

[@Kahvetrip]

On the software side, there is no reason for not to add "active track" feature to mini and mini 2 (with a small update). But the company doesn't want to take responsibility for the crashes during active track due to lack of sensors. Great tip by the way.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Yeah, I think you are right. A lack of sensors to prevent crashes could be the reason we don't see the feature added.

[@Zephxual]

That plus the fact that they want that for the more expensive drones to have people buying more expensive.

[@stephenjames5216]

Even the air 2s doesn't have sensors that detect left and right which seem to be most needed for active track. The Mavic 2 is the only one with that. I had forward obstacle sensing on my original Mavic and had to turn it off most of the time due to false alarms due to sun glare. I really wish the mini 2 had active track.

[@tykendrick800]

No they won't add active track because it'll just be a mavic air 2 which cost more

[@championxxlNL]

@@Zephxual that would make sense if it wasn't for the global new rules that basically limit everyone to buy a mini 2 unless they want to get a drone flying license

[@johnsheehy6172]

Could you not adjust the speed of the circle in 'settings' to match your speed, E.G. cycling slowly, or jogging?

[@rkivlogi]

Thanks for the video. This is about the only feature I've been missing on my mini 2

[@KrasimirKrumov_leonartis]

Mattew, your "lessons" and advice are great and very useful. Thanks!

[@KrustyKlown]

Tried this over the weekend, tracking boats on a lake.. got some great shots and effects shooting boats that changed directions as the Mini 2 was trying to track a circle.

[@jayspencer270]

This is what I want to do! How fast was a boat able to go and still be tracked?

[@alsstuff]

Interesting. Would love Active Tracking on the Mini 2 - that would make it truly great indeed. Quick question: Would the settings for gimbal (yaw/pitch/speed etc) affect the QuickShots using this method? Cheers, Al

[@Al-Kwadrone]

Good question! Let us know..

[@andypettit5869]

I am a total beginner on this, your videos help a lot. Not a tech guy at all, old school. Thank you....... If it's man made i can figure it out with help like people like you.

[@Matteo-jd6mt]

Great video? Can you do a rumor round up for the next dji mini release? I've been seeing tons of shit and would love to see a condensed version.

[@detalex73]

Большое спасибо за совет! У меня DJI Mini SE и мне тоже не хватает функции слежения, а твой способ позволяет хоть как-то выйти из этого положения. В ближайшее время обязательно попробую👍

[@yodamutt]

Absolutely want active tracking--I understand the idea that active tracking can cause a crash if not careful, but many things we do with our drones can cause crashes. Thank you for the information -- Maybe DJI will listen to comments or maybe they could include a disclaimer in software update with explanation of pitfalls.

[@anomaly1978]

I wish the Mini's had active track. I did however learn this method on my own, but the tips you suggested are sound and I agree with them. One other way I've found to follow me in my car is to use boomerang quickshot and simply lock on the car, drive (slowly) and just hold forward on the flight stick to keep the drone flying forward. It will inherently fly behind the object and stay locked on with no interference to break the lock. I did this for almost a mile, but it stopped because of home point distance fault.

[@StevesVideoExperience]

Thanks for the advice. Will try that.

[@walterseiffert]

Thank you for the tips. I will test it today!

[@quelltraining]

Great advice and one of the best tutorial video channels I have seen. Please keep up the great work.

[@moldovauk841]

thank you mate!!!!

[@henkdarphorn]

Thanks for all your great DJI2-lessons en usefull tips 😀

[@bikerdude1979]

I've tried this even on my Mini SE. It does work even on that ultra low end model, but it is touchy. Still very cool though.

[@islewjm]

Yes, should hv auto tracking function. Hope DJI can add the function in new update patches.

[@scottmaasmedia]

Great tips and points thank you. 😊 Definitely need a clear area. 😎👍

[@svenf1]

The two obvious reasons for DJI to not include AT in the Mini2 are 1) the drone has basically no obstacle avoidance and b) there have to be enough differentiators for their marketing department to work with to sell the bigger sister models. By and large though, the Mini2 is probably still the best bang for the buck when it comes to drones, and with the upcoming SDK it will be even better (I'm hoping for programmable GPS waypoints in the not so distant future...)

[@imdyinginside1919]

Nah it’s all about money

[@PP-rl5sn]

Excellent content buddy, any chance you can do a video on how to edit images taken by a mini 2 using Affinity Photo?

[@seerseer9440]

As usual OUTSTANDING tutorial. Whatta boy!

[@Silkstep]

Thanks for the tip! Love your channel. I just bought my first DJI, a Mini 2 SE to learn on.

[@jodiedavis9121]

Great tip, I can’t wait to try this. Thanks Matthew.

[@gto49us]

I think I got it… as a newbie, you’re not supposed to know about active tracking until you get everything else nailed down! 😁 You wouldn’t want us to get overwhelmed with all the features, would you? Seriously, I received my mini 2 today, and I’ve never flown a drone before. I feel like there’s a ton of stuff I need to learn already! 😂 Great tip, by the way. You make it look so easy.

[@unchartedentertainment]

This is genius. I was really missing active tracking in the Mini 2 but this basically make it work the same. Thanks for the tip!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Hope it helps! Thanks for watching.

[@JandeBloois1952]

What a clever trick! I’ll try this out soon. As the Mavic Mini has the same quick-shots I am sure it will work the same! But indeed, having no collision sensors it can be tricky. Last week I had my first crash into a tree making a ‘dronie’, and set the distance to high! I could save the drone though, no damage!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Glad your drone has no damage, hopefully this trick helps you out. Thanks for watching.

[@mixsetup]

Bought the mini 2 today not realizing it doesn't have active tracking or sensors. Bit pissed about it, should have jumped on KZbin in the shop and had a look. Thanks for this video.

[@4khongkong58]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video! And I didn’t know David Lynch has a son!

[@andypettit5869]

Thanks, because me and my wife are going to Puerto Rico, and you know walking on the beach stuff. This will work great for that situation..... Thanks 👍

[@ApipadiChannelPetaniMuda]

TQ for the tips

[@ahmadizzazmohamadsofa5470]

Thks for the tips

[@alanhelton]

I have both the DJI FPV and the Mini 2. I wish more than anything to have active tracking. I appreciate your support in seeking this feature.

[@razvanduta3563]

Thanks mate, make sense. Will try that - drone’s couple of days until arrival. Raz

[@rafaeldiazus]

Great work around. Thank you.

[@AscarIsaev]

thnx, man! great reels!

[@RonoTron01]

If you wear a colorful and high contrast clothing, will that help with the tracking?

[@DarcNation]

Thanks man

[@kentwhoo]

Great videos. Just got a mini 1 and I’ve found your videos very informative. Thanks, mate

[@DoAnythingNew]

Hello Matthew, I just bought and received my dji mini 2. Question; if I use the quick shot Dronie, set the drone in front of my Jetski, and I ride forward, will the drone have to keep pulling back in order to keep me in front of it and thereby would be tracking me backwards? I was thinking that that would be the same principle. Im not that experienced to try it and was wondering if you had... or would please!

[@CaminoDidjeridu]

Great video!

[@flymore-imagensaereas3721]

Perfect. Good Job. Thanks.

[@AkinoriKobo]

Awesome! Thank you for the tip 😀

[@josedealmeida]

Should abort the circle at some moment. Will the file still be saved if the circle is not completed?

[@Peacheslaroo]

Thank you!

[@FabianNotts]

thanks for that :)

[@angelok6548]

Thx for the tip !! Iam gonna try it !!

[@jon112media]

This is awesome!

[@JTFuller]

Great video young man.. I will try this perhaps..... NOW.. LOL.. Thank you and yes. It should have active tracking.. I thought it would have by now but maybe you're right, with out the sensors...

[@ramonps11]

Nice thanks buddy

[@gordana1237]

Thank you and yes it should have the tracking and the user can accept with the caveat that they accept responsibility due to the lack of sensors.

[@kelvinyschun]

What's best way to retrieve after shot? RTH or manually

[@dpaudits]

Amazing videos, likes and subscribed... just getting started with mine and I'm still learning, but an amazing bit of kit it is.... Happy droning peeps!

[@h2osmokey]

I just got the mini 2 and I discovered my cell phone is too old to load the Mini app (Galaxy S9+). Do you have a recommended Windoze small tablet to fly with? TIA

[@JoostEurovisionFans]

What is the best don that is able to circle around me, even when I am walking? Please can you tell me?

[@777interesting]

Yes, really would have loved AT on the mini 2, to follow my motorbike …. May have to go up and get a mini 3 ? Cheers 😊

[@613Crip]

This is awesome thanks for sharing this

[@djangodimorisso6036]

Thanks bro, really appreciate your efforts!

[@mosunsannitradingasbambiba5351]

So helpful!

[@samwdressler]

Do you have to have an SD card inserted to use these camera features? They don't come up for me but I don't have an SD card I store to my phone

[@Overzeal0us]

I use Litchie Cue for my mini 2. Seems to work for the most part.

[@grahampikevideos]

Well documented. Many thx!

[@leolo]

Thanks, I’ll try it

[@mrgreen8887]

Drone Juggernaut Inc. Aka DJI Should had put active track on the mini 2 before fimi x8 mini was released. If you're gonna raise the bar do it accordingly.

[@PauloCastilho]

Very cool! I bought my mini2 and for weeks I was searching for a video that give me these tricks! Thankyou! You win a like and one more sobscriber, Matthew! I´m from Brazil. All the best for you, man!

[@davidennulat1935]

Less is more - why didn’t I think of that as it seems so obvious now that you explained it?... Great tip!!

[@5thGenNativeTexan]

Takes some practice, but for short "follow me" active track simulation it works ok. Still anxiously awaiting the SDK to drop later in the year and Litchi to pick it up and add "real" follow-me tracking like they did for the Mavic Mini.

[@dexfoster7435]

Is it still not out yet?

[@Iinustechtips]

@@dexfoster7435 is out yet?

[@ingutedauksaite3814]

Is it not out yet?

brilliant ... at first , i thought you would do some programming or updating the firmware... but in fact its a simple but usefull method... brilliant... 👍

Great video..it helped me started active track mode..😊

[@FastingForFitness]

Great tip! Thanks

[@TrezzJohnson]

Hello "The Drone Creative"! Thank you for showing us such a wonderful video! I feel so happy! I'm looking forward to your next work! Have a nice day!

[@msjj000]

Clever use of the standard feature 👍

[@shawnd567]

I love that we need to do this hack that clearly shows the mini 2 can active track with ease.

[@MrJavierDG]

Good video! I gonna try it

[@ar4ijs97]

Is it possible to make the drone camera follow me? Like the drone is stationary, but i walk around it, and it keeps me in frame?

[@ermo2004]

thanks, very well explained.

[@InsidePJTravel]

Thanks for your tips

[@ChevroletEpica]

Thanks

[@judas74205]

Cool hack thumbs up buddy and you got my subscription. Mini2 definitely should of come with self tracking. Thanks for the info.

[@lovaphotos]

Thank you so much 😊

[@user-zv6ty7rs5d]

Nice bro ❤❤❤

[@cryptidrik9565]

Will it work for the mini SE?

[@shadg269]

Im gonna have to try this

[@Shauncat1]

Great tutorial 😂

[@Atsf1976]

That's a good idea and thanks for the post. Any thoughts (using the mini 2) to get video of a train moving around 40mph? Thanks and keep it because your subscriber count keeps increasing.

[@PauldeSilvaG]

Brilliant

[@CrezymadMaxx]

Thank you very much, this video helped me a lot.😁

[@FunBitesTV]

While trying this hack out today Matt, it lost me a couple of times ( as expected , I was also walking thru some shadows etc which is great for confusing it ). On the final attempt something strange but cool happened, I was walking a little too slow so it started to go into the anticlockwise circle ( with the camera tracking me anticlockwise )as it passed over head, but i sped up slightly so then it went into a circle behind me , all while tracking me ( camera now tracking me CLOCKWISE) into the distance as i kept walking. Have you experienced this? Looked pretty cool.

[@TORDesign]

Great hack. Will try it. Please show us how to upload 360 photos to Facebook so they work properly. Also I wish I could do dolly shots like programming paths like the bigger drones do. Like move slowly across my home as the sun sets.

[@The_Daliban]

Focus RS..nice

[@cj-thenoobdrummer3755]

Nice tip bro!

[@haasandreas]

Thanks for the video,yes ,would be great if the DJI mini 2 had active track.

[@tulenik71]

From the rumours I already heard the overheating was present in prototypes which had proximity sensors. To speed up the development, they ripped them off. Because I already heard a rumour Mini 3 will be kinda of expensive, it is quite possible they will return them and tweak air flow to cool them.

[@bySterling]

I’ll def try this! Too bad they couldn’t add to a software update

[@markoribich]

do you think there will be an update to add active track?

[@jaydinchetty8856]

Love ur RS

[@dougcooper4917]

Excellent Video Mattheww!!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you! Appreciate it.
