I keep saying this... The biggest problem for DJI drones and Active Track is the algorithm. You can clearly see from the icon on the screen that it expects you to be on foot. Which, makes it expect certain speeds, direction change capabilities, etc. You are constantly "surprising" the drone, in a way. When DJI drones track vehicles they use different parameters and distances. If you went down a similar path in a car, the drone would react differently and potentially do a better job. Either DJI needs to improve the firmware to recognize bicycles, scooters, one wheels, etc or allow consumers to choose themselves. Until then, their drones are always going to struggle in your "tests", always. All that said, they'll never be on par with Skydio for tracking. Simply put, they aren't really trying to be... Active Track on DJI drones is primarily meant to be an assistance to an operator flying the drone and tracking a subject, not for individuals to track themselves. Technically, tracking yourself (in or on a vehicle, especially) is illegal in most countries because you aren't truly "in command" of the aircraft. I don't see DJI putting in the effort and expense to try and catch up with Skydio. Considering all the updates, including the most recent ones, they don't seem to be too concerned with tracking. Just like Skydio doesn't seem too concerned with improving the hardware, transmission or camera quality. They are all about tracking, key frames, automation, etc... DJI is all about image quality, transmission and flight time.

While I agree with much that you’re saying, understand that DJI simply consolidated the person icon, it used to show a bike. Their marketing launch video for the Mavic 3 and Active Track shows a mountain biker as the primary human that they track, the second was a woman running that placed the remote down to track herself. As for command of aircraft, the controller is directly in front of me. Per ESA and FAA rules, neither actually define command, other than to say ‘operator’. Which I am operating.

People who buy DJI drones don’t care about that feature. Some never even use it because the reason they buy it is to have premium camera. When ever I do a shoot where I need to follow someone i just highlight them but do the controlling my self since then I’ll make it look more cinematic. Skydio is for people who don’t care about cinematography and just need something to follow. In that case skydio is perfect the camera is good enough for KZitem posts and social media.

You would be crazy to buy a DJI product for this price. I sent mine back for repair after a crash, I was billed for a repair which was not done on my drone - they sent me back a complete dud unit without telling me it was a replacement. This replacement has a faulty tele lens, it is unstable when flying, the gimbal was loose, misaligned (without the battery even being in ) and unprotected when it arrived - is not and cannot be calibrated by me. DJI have refused to give me details for the serial number of the dud 'replacement' - for obvious reasons - I believe it was a defective early manufactured model from 8 to 10 months ago. Do you want to be in the same position as me - spending €3000 on a professional grade product, having it deceitfully replaced with a dud during a PAID REPAIR, and not having a properly functioning device ever since - despite spending that kind of money. All they have done since is argue with us for the two months since. We are an animal charity and this represented a huge investment for us which we wanted to use to raise funds - and we have been left with a 'lemon'. Do you really want to trust these people?

Nice test. I wonder if You had it to nifty could it be even better? I think the air moved the tree too fast and hit it because it saw it as orange and it became red too fast. Eitherway DJI is giving priority to do the video correct POI in ths example and in difficult situations this priority sends obstacle avoidance to a second priority. If it had a beacon then things could be much diffirent.

I have experience with Dji air 2s. I tested the active track a lot. On an active track, the "brake" mode of the sensor is safer, more conservative in maneuvers, better tracking, less loss of the object, compared to "bypass". Despite the name "brake" drone does not stop, on the active track it flies around obstacles in this mode. Accidents always happen in the "bypass". "Bypass" is good for actions when we have open space. It makes faster, wider and wilder maneuvers. If we need to fly somewhere in a narrow place, or we have a lot of items, just mode"brake"!!, because in "bypass" mode will be crash. I think it's the same on Mavic 3. Because air2s already had a great active track, but no one found this nuance with the modes
