Two options while on bike. 1. Buy one of the remote screen shades that protect remote when closed and shade screen when open. Just shut cover and put in backpack. Or 2. Unscrew the joysticks from remote and let screen go to sleep. I haven’t confirmed it’ll “sleep” in active track but I’ve let it hover long enough to where screen turned off. Have to press power button and it comes back on immediately. Seems like I had the Fly app on phone also, just can’t recall if it was with mini 4 pro, or another one of of several DJI drones.

Awesome video brotha. I want say I fully agree with the smart watch or some sort of wrist option for active track. This has always been a complaint for me when it comes to smart watches! For them to be so called "Smart Watches" they are entirely too limited. Almost feels like manufacturers have gate kept them or never focused enough on their functionality. The fact I can't even look at my snap messages or use commands through speech, amaze me. Currently using the Samsung Galaxy watch 4 and even still it's no where near impressive. Anyways awesome video! Wanted to share my thoughts on this matter.

The parallel mode is actually distinctly different from the 360 mode where the drone is following you from the side. Parallel mode should be called heading or direction mode. In parallel, the drone will keep the camera fixed in a direction you set, north for example, and will keep you in the frame as you move all while staying pointing north. Parallel works great to keep a fixed background or lighting direction. In 360 mode, the drone will stay at your side and as you move the drone will change direction dynamically in order to stay at your side. In this case the background and lighting will fluctuate as the drone changes direction.

In the 'control' menu, when I switch on 'subject scanning' the "FocusTrack Settings" which is supposed to be underneath does not appear at all on the screen. Therefore I cannot access the inner and outer circles to set parameters as they do not appear on the screen. When I go back to the main screen I see 3 icons: activetrack, spotllight and POI. When I press 'go' on activetrack there is only a single circle with front, back, etc directions but no outer circle.. Other 2 functions 'spotllight and POI work fine. Any ideas?

Is there any way to set a random varying active track? I'd like to be able to set it to follow my motorcycle from varying angles (again randomly). Like you mentioned with your bike, holding the controller is not really an option. there are bar mounts for motorcycles, but I do not want the controller exposed on my MC. I would just like to be able to set it to follow and circle around me randomly without input from me (would typically be in a slow moving desert or mountain environment without obstacles, or at least very few). Also, I assume the home location follows where ever the controller is? Not the launch site (want home to be wherever I am). It looked like the "H" was off in the distance in some of the shots as you were moving around. Maybe dumb questions but I Just picked up my Mini 4 pro a couple days ago... going to do my first (regular standing, nothing fancy) test flight today :).

I agree with Billy's observation that Mini 4 Pro needs to have a smaller input device or bring back the old hand gesture control, or like you said integrate with the Apple watch etc. to control its Active Track 360. Active Track is an excellent system but having to carry the remote to use it is just too cumbersome to many. This is where HoverAir X1 with its simplicity of use to track its subject will take a HUGE chunk of potential buyers away from Mini 4 - say the average teenagers and adults who just want to take moving selfies - the non-dron hobbiests.

If there is indeed anything to be upgraded, I feel like they would just turn it into the Air 4 (I know its too early to say that but still) or Mavic 4.
