ULTRA Low Tracking DJI Mini 4 Pro Obstacle Avoidance Test

[@AnotherCG]

One of the best comprehensive reviews of the tracking!

[@rogerhalt3991]

Shame you have to explain your walking when it’s a tech channel. You have great energy and very humble. Thank you for real world testing!

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

So nice of you

[@Zzues]

Thanks for this video and all you have done before. I am new to drones and loving watching yours since I got my Mini 4 Pro. You have serious guts to fly your drone in these situations for us, I get nervous for you seeing your drone do such dangerous maneuvers! Also, who the heck comments on someone's walking style for a drone channel, those people need to get a life for real. Hope it doesnt cause to very much pain. As someone who has similar issues that are painful, I would do my best to ignore them, they will someday understand what it is like to have issues such as hip issues! Sorry, just had to chime in about that.

[@gregoryhudson123]

Just loving all the fab content you are putting out on the new Mini 4 pro...!! Looking forward to getting mine shortly upgrading from my mini 2 👍🏻😎🇬🇧

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

you are in for treat :-)

[@shawnstoik]

I like your walking style, it seems friendly and kind. God Bless ya brother. :)

[@Hat_Uncle]

Yeah, never liked the word "hike", my style is like his, a jaunt. 😂

[@lambo_drives]

0:15 I thought you were walking out with a sniper rifle at first... I was like "Dang Henrik really is prepping against Karen/Ken... he's snapped!" lol - happy trails

[@juniorjones5137]

Very very good job haven't seen a dji product work that well

[@ccsdemos9896]

Great video, I’m enjoying it while testing my mini4. I think part of the issue with tracking in front is that if you are not moving it cannot clearly interpret what ‘in front of you’ is.

[@S.A.S.Q]

Thank you 👍

[@DigitalicaEG]

Good test Henrik, thanks for putting it through its paces!

[@MrksKr]

Great test / demo - thank you for doing this! The more I keep watching yours (and other vids), I keep getting more turned off by the obstacle avoidance and the fiddling/messing around with it. In addition, I am a bit spoilt now by having used the HoverAir X1 for a while now where you've not got any of this (obviously with much less parameters to set and less flexibility). IF I was going to do a lot of tracking vids of myself in slightly more open spaces, then I could see the attraction of it - but it's not good enough for me to upgrade from the M3P. Keep up the great work and keep 'em coming!

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

Ohh I have one of these HoverAir X1 coming in the mail :-)

[@My_Alchemical_Romance]

Longtime fan of the channel. Thanks for the video, the mini 3 pro is going to be hard to beat out; esp this coming in at the old MSRP of the mini 3 pro, but I love my mini 3!

[@otero2235]

With DJI being so good at everything else one would think they could figure this tracking out. Is like risking a crash every time you use it.

[@JohnP.6775]

Not if you put it in nifty mode

[@JohnP.6775]

I’ve been doing so much research into the DJI Mini 4 pro and as a first time drone if I do decide to get one I think it’s an amazing little drone with a plethora of features for the size and price of it you do get a whole lot bunched into it and it I think after many reviews that I’ve seen on it I’ll be picking one up very soon.

[@MASTER-td7qr]

Hi, don't rush to be happy. They don't all fly that well. Mine, for example, doesn't want to fly in such spaces. Complains that he doesn't have enough space.😊

[@JohnP.6775]

@@MASTER-td7qr that is wise word’s to live by, I am actually going to wait a little longer as the mini 5 pro will be coming out shortly

[@kroalex81]

I enjoy your videos mister ..keep going up

[@graphguy]

Hey you past the 100k subscribers, that’s great!

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

Yes! Thank you!

[@patfish3291]

I'm still not sure if the mini 3 pro does not do a better job at tracking from behind. I know that the mini 3 Pro sees 25m into the front instead of 18m of the Mini 4 Pro. The Mini 4 should react a bit faster but I'm still thinking you can see and feel the extra 7m of the Mini 3 Pro

[@MrksKr]

I would agree with that - seems too many sensors/parameters plus the inner/outer circle keep confusing it and slowing it down...

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

I guess I would need to take the Mini 3 Pro on the same route to find out

[@patfish3291]

@@TECHDRONEMEDIA I think, the mini 3 pro could have advantages (7m more view in the front) especially at a bit more speed. At low speed the side view of the mini 4 pro will have more value to navigate through.

[@dpwild328]

Good video. How come the image around you looks distorted - ex. @ 12:30 - 13:00

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

Likely my 360 cam

[@dpwild328]

​@TECHDRONEMEDIA you're 360 camera is causing your drone video to have a distorted image around you?

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

No

[@DavidThackstone]

I think it's messing up with tracking if Inner circle is say 2m and when trying to make it go round an obstacle that would make drone move within the 2m boundary it's stopping because it can't go closer to you.maybe close trees etc you need to make inner perimeter closer so drone has room to move round you better.

[@denobedford]

Hello Henrik would like to se you on a bike tho the woods to se if the drone would follow you and how good it would cope with obstacles

[@GoingOffGridAus]

Can you tell me if there still a limit to how low you can be when active tracking a vehicle? Trying to use Active track with the mini 3 when driving through a forest is useless. Ideally you should be able to fly as low as you are in this vid, would make for much better shots!

[@dzevad0101]

greetings, can you do a noise test dji mini 3 pro and dji mini 4 pro

[@MASTER-td7qr]

Hello, friend! Please answer, if you can, my drone refuses to fly like yours, all the places where you flew, he says that there is not enough space for him, my active track is called active shots, maybe this is the latest firmware to blame for everything?

[@the_thomss]

Amazing scenery and great footage! I subscribed to see more Videos made by you. Dji Mini 4 is an awesome little drone. I own one myself too and create cinematic Videos. Keep it up bro! 👌🏽 Cool!

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

Thanks for the sub!

[@oomorboo1]

Can you successfully plug in your mini 4 pro into iPad or MacBook to export videos? I can’t, it says no photos or videos to import. I also can’t insert the micro sd card into a reader and plug it into an iPad or MacBook. Says no photos or videos to import. I can do that with no problems with Mavic Air 2

[@W6IWN_Radio]

Thanks for the video. What are you using for a microphone?

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

Lapel with Zoom F2 Recorder

[@W6IWN_Radio]

@TECHDRONEMEDIA Thanks. Are you recording it through the drone remote or mixing the audio later? I like how there was minimal drone noise. Sound good 👍

[@kayberry6292]

Thank you! The thing that most impressed me - after your bravery and the brilliant drone - is how nicely the footpaths have been mown through the field. Here in the UK our local authorities are far behind yours.

[@godfreyhope2007]

Love your channel! Keep up the good work.

[@FerbGsta]

i like to fly in Cine mode when i do aktiv tracking in close space like this

[@jbholland1987]

Can you test the DJI mini 3 pro Active track vs Dji mini 4 pro Active track? maybe fly them both at the same time ?

[@Mighty-ue7bt]

mini 3 terrible on active track

[@jbholland1987]

@@Mighty-ue7bt i disagree. thats why we need the test.

[@mjanek20]

@@Mighty-ue7bt I highly disagree.

[@许可-e3c]

You select a following direction when you are still, the direction maybe not so accurate. But you can click the direction twice and the drone will adjust.

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

Cool thanks 🙏

[@larryboldt483]

I have a skydio 2 and i don't have any collision problems. Hoping DJI can get this figured out

[@jimanders9971]

@@jimanders9971 Haha, your funny. Skydio doesn't sell to the consumer market anymore, but you knew that? And, I was told the new Skydio X10..... Starting price $20,000.00.

[@Optimistas777]

do you think active track 360 will be released for air 3? I want OcuSync 4 and Active Track 360 on a bigger drone, I wonder what to do. Mavic Pro 4?

[@gronygroovy]

When you are doing these tests, are u covered by the DJI Refresh Insurance? Would they fix it if it had a mishap that was not your fault? Thanks and great vids! :)

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

No own expense

[@dandesjardins2552]

Now i know why i found my Mavic 3 fly more for a good deal ,The active track is Amazing on the 4

[@lancsway]

The problem with the new active track is that the drone always assumes it is behind you when you start. You need to be able to set a start position before pressing GO

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

good idea - @DJI_Global you should listen

[@Mauriciovideomaker]

Amazing ! I have Mini 4 pro ,but not the guts nor the Money to try something like this 😅

[@elwingy]

I think it does fine. Sometimes I dont know what people expect from a sub 250gr drone to do. Or any drone for that matter. And sometimes i just dont know what kind of filming people expect to do with a drone while walking through a forest maze full of branches and stuff to begin with... it is not the correct equipment to use for such a scenario... do you really need a drone to film you from a distance of 2 meters through dense woods? Drone makes sense in more open spaces for its lens to capture the surrounding area and framing beautiful shots. Its not a tool to replace every other filming equipment there is out there. Its not a gopro camera. EDIT: Btw I am not directing this msg to Tech Drone Media of course but rather a lot of people in the comment section who seem to me that they do not understand the actual purpose of a drone. All these active tracking tests that a lot of youtubers are nowadays required to make because of high demand, make little sense and do not provide much useful information.

[@zimmy1958]

Well done.

[@miha-z]

Nice🍹

[@np_production]

[@toufik94]

Obviously the 360 tracking mode isn't perfect. It needs some finetuning and I think it can be done with software.

[@JohnP58]

I wild comment here. It sound and look like a bee flying around and avoiding obstacles like they are booty (hope I got the right translation) it’s like an AI reaction in others words. Amazing You’re torturing this software to my limit, you’re scaring me.

[@romo8547]

If you turn to face the drone and then tell it to track from the front, it is already in front of you as you turned to face it. That is not a fair test. The drone can only react to where you are, not where you are going to be

[@jeffhudson1744]

If they worry about walking style, they need to get a better life. I’ve people walk all different ways who never had anything wrong. If you can get around without problems, who the heck cares. You’re walking fine. Trek on!

[@montanaflyer1147]

Get a Skydio. Stop testing and start using. Forget trying to control the drone's settings and focus on the event. WIll DJI ever figure out that this can't be done without a GPS beacon to assist on keeping track of the subject?

[@jamesgraham8386]

Hopefully no tree branches this time.
