DJI Mavic Air 2 - How to Use Active Track 3.0 & Set Up - Tutorial and Advice For Great Results - 4k

- I have done a bunch of videos about the DJI Mavic Air 2. Most of my videos are about using Active Track. I use this feature a lot for hiking and mountain bike videos. As this series of videos had progressed, I have been asked a bunch of different questions about this drone.
In this video, I will try to answer some of those questions, and show you how to setup and start your very own Active Track video. I will also be testing the drone to see what happens when the drone loses connection to the remote.
This is usually a big concern for some people. Make sure you follow all of the settings I show in the video. Always check your surroundings, and be mindful of other people. Also be sure to follow your federal and local drone laws.

I haven't flown my MA2 and I came here for a refresher course. Love the detail of how you explain every detail. Thanks.
A very In Depth coverage of all of the features about Active Track Mode. It was very informative and I now have a bit more concept about how Active Track works. I have the MA2 as well, now I also will get testing this feature, thanks to you . Appreciate it and I will certainly watch your other videos on the MA2... Keep up the good work.
Great in depth video, without annoying (bad choice of) music, without annoying fashion words (like, to be honest, literally, basically...). Well detailed, well explained, interesting and with great shots of the phone screen.
These tutorials are great for a beginning drone-flyer. Thanks for sharing your expertise...
Great job, clear explanations and very helpful contents. Keep it up. I've subscribed to your channel.
I just got my first drone - the Mavic Air 2. So far, I've been thrilled with how easy it is to operate. I appreciate your walk-thru's of the menus. So many videos are long winded with vague explanations. I've sat through dozens of them without really learning anything except the maker's life story. Thanks!
Thank you very much. I felt the same way when I first started using drones. I try to not talk down to people, and make it as simple as possible.
Thanks for the clear and easy to follow tutorial mate, I have learnt more off this vid than any other, thanks..
this is the best detailing video on this drone. you definitely have the best video online on this product!!!
This is one of the best instructional videos for my new Mavic Air 2S that I've come across yet. Most of the others go so fast and leave a lot of detail out assuming we all know what they are talking about. I appreciate you going slowly when explaining things and have arrows pointing to what you are referring to. I've subscribed and liked this video and look forward to checking out your other videos.
Thank you. I really appreciate comments like this. Check out the MA2 playlist for any other questions. I'm currently making a playlist for the Mavic 3. Let me know if you have any other questions.
I had no idea that if you lose power to your controller that the drone will return to home automatically - thanks!! And thank you for the very concise directions on using the active trac features.
Super helpful video! Thank you for such a clear and easy explanation. Best one I have watched on this topic.
Way better than other vids on Active Track, thanks!
Great shots !! Thank you for your time explaining
I’m so grateful for the Otter Box trick, I have that exact case so this will work for me perfectly. Thank you for sharing
Extremely well done and very professional! You explain what your doing while doing it showing the Fly app screen and the Drone live response. I just got my drone and already learned one lesson the hard way. After a couple successful quick shots my attempt Helix expanded until it hit a tree. It’s really important for a newbie to learn the capabilities and limitations of Active Track and Obstacle Avoidance. I plan to use my Mavic Air 2 to capture videos while hiking and biking to waterfalls and view points in beautiful North Carolina. Thanks again!
Thank. Hopefully your drone is ok. The drone is great for getting those epic shots while hiking.
Awesome active track walkthrough! Thanks!
Hey brother great and very informative video dude. Is always a pleasure watching my drone community growing. I also have the Dji Mavic Air 2 and is an amazing Bird. Keep up the good work man. You have a Big Fan and a Big Supporter here. Just subbed. God bless and stay safe. Thanks for all you do and please keep flying.
This is one of the best organized, detailed and produced videos on drone operation. Very competent. Well done.
Thanks.. I try.
Great content. Gonna use this to track me and my sons on motocross. Thanks!
Fantastic video clear with detail explanation mate thank you kindly cheers.
Thanks! This was great and very helpful!
Thanks for the video,, explained the functionality really well and at a good pace,, some of the other videos I have watched focus on the photography,, which is ok but I want to learn how to fly and get used to the menus etc…. Great job

G'day from Oz ( Australia ) ! ... FABULOUS clip Jeff !!! ... I've watched several DJI factory tutorials on ACTIVE TRACK - but they went too quick, didn't show the finer details or "on screen machinations" - and they left me lacking in confidence .... But - your video was EXCELLENT - Thanks ! Biggus ( Rick ) in Orrrrrstraylya ( that's how all my 'Murican buddies say "Australia :) )
Well done !!
Thanks for the tips, great stuff.From Malaysia..
Nice tips!
Congratulations from Brasil 🇧🇷
Great video, thanks
Thanks for the tutorial! I have yet to incorporate my car with my MA2 but I want to do it really bad now!!
Really helpful, thanks.
Great video sir. it's probably the first video that puts it in a language I can understand. English.
Great vid my man, I just got the Mavic air 2 and I can’t wait to start using it for my mtb rides 🔝👊🏻
It's a lot of fun. You can see so much more of the trails.
Great video and explanation, love it when you turned the remote off I didn’t have the guts to see what would happen
I was a little worried.
Awesome video will be subscribing well explained for a beginner Like myself. to the air 2
Great video !
Great tutorial. I've just bought an Air 2S and had trouble locking active track on me when trying out Quick Shots. Now I know why! I was too far away and as it was after sunset, it was too dark. So thanks for your excellent presentation. I'll try out again today.
Thanks and good luck.
Congratulation. Very interesting video and really clear explanations.
Great Job
Great job👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
great job, thanks a lot
Thank you for explaining this.
Your welcome. Be sure to check out the rest of the MA2 & Mavic 3 playlists.
Well explained buddy. Top video and new subscriber 👍🏴
Thanks
Very helpful 🤘🏼
Thanks going to try this out
Hey buddy, nice music intro.
Great video! Thank you for the info and taking time to make this video. It really helped me understand more about active track with my Mavic Air 2. I'm headed to Bahamas in a few weeks and want to get some footage of my boat over there.
Make sure you can take your batteries with you. Some airlines have weird rules.
@@uosocal I'm taking my boat from Ft Myers.
Nice.
Great video thanks
Thank you so much!
Life is good... and so is this video. Thanks!
Thanks
Excellent, i was looking for a good tutorial on this topic and found it.
Thanks. I have a whole ma2 playlist.
Thank you for the video
Thanks for this great explanation👏. I just got the Air 2s. The Air 1 and Parrot anafi didn't track me. I'm hoping for some great shots now. Btw nice car 🤗
You should be Flight Test engineer. Well done.
Thanks for that! Now I'll much less paranoid.
Hi bro am from India such a nice tutorial thank you so much i have recently buy drne djia2s thank you thank you so much
Thanks for these MA2 tracking videos. The more information on how this drone tracks in different scenarios, the better, as from experience, when I’m out in the field I don’t always have time to experiment.
Excellent video... great information. I'm a new drone pilot and need this kind of information. I'm looking forward to adding drone footage to my car videos.
It will add another level to your videos. Super cool angles.
Dude ur awesome
Great video! I sub you. Best regards from Germany!
Thanks
Great video and explanation of Active Tracking.
I was wondering, if you are active tracking a vehicle do you need to set maximum flight distance to avoid your drone returning to home automatically?
I have just bought an Air2S
thanks for your explain, how to activate the active track fiture on dji mavic 2
Bro.... Good Shit..! 👍
congratulations on a great video. without side sensors is bypass a safe mode? I chose hover in case when it comes across a tree it tracks around, facing the obstacle but then hits a neighbouring tree to it's side.
Great video. Have you looked into the Skydio 2? I have found it to be much easier to use when mountain biking. Just hand launch it. Put the beacon in my pocket and it follows me. No need to worry about a phone or anything. Only downside I've experienced is it isn't as portable (doesn't fold up) as my Mavic Air 2.
I have watched a ton of videos on it. Thought about getting one last year, then covid shut down their facility completely. Such a long wait list turned me off.
I have new one thanks for that.
Enjoy it
Dude, how do you take 13 minutes to get to the freaking point of the video, incredible.
There is a lot of factors that go into a successful track. Thanks for watching.
Wow! I appreciate the ton of effort you put into making this complete and comprehensive video. Definitely earned a “like” and “subscribe” from me for this masterpiece. I’m now off to see what else I can learn from your other videos.
Thanks, I'm glad to help.
Great tutorial to say the least. Just wondering, I've got the Mavic Air and could not notice the poi mode (circling around). Is this only a feature of the Mavic 2?
Just got into the drone world after years of flying model airplanes. Your video is absolutely the best tutorial I've seen. I'm in OC also and I practice at El Dorado. Question, when locking on in active track to a car you mentioned to be 10 to 20 feet from the subject. After locking on can I raise the drone to 50 feet and still stayed locked on and have it follow the car?
Usually you can. Once you start moving, the drone distance can change by itself.
Finally a pragmatic instructor with detailed, step-by-step instructions easy to follow, direct, and to the point. Now a subscriber !
Thank you !
Thanks. I really appreciate that. Let me know if you have any questions.
No-one on TH-cam has explained this whole thing as well as you have done here. Great Job! There should be more youtubers like yourself.
Thank you.
Thanks for the great videos! Quick question...in active track mode does the drone stay at whatever altitude you put it at when you start or does it choose it's own as you fly?
It will vary distance as you move around.
I love the video. How to I find "Disable Sideways Flight" I don't see it on my remote control.
It is one of the sub menus.
Brilliant presentation. The way you set up the session with multiple cameras, pointer, simple explanation and examples amount to an excellent tutorial. I've just got my Air 2S a few days ago and very lucky to have found your tutorial. Thank you.
Thank you so much. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks for the very helpful video. I'm a total newbie to this so this type of tutorial is spot on.
My question about trace tracking is:
If you activate it with the drone at a low altitude like 10 feet above you, will it stay at that altitude as it tracks you? I want to have it track me through a wooded disc golf course. There is room above me along the fairways but the tree canopy starts at about 25 feet.
Any advice on this will be much appreciated!
It will stay at that height mostly. It will rise or lower when it senses obstacles.
@@uosocal thanks for the quick answer!
Excellent video! i subbed. Ok, silly question, but…could one Active track a bird that is flying? (Of course that’s a bad idea…just asking about feasibility) or Active Track another drone?
Hey friend. Thanks for great content and positivity. Can you advice settings and filming mode for active track or filming when it comes to kiteboarding? Thanks a lot in advance!
I think the hardest thing will be keeping the remote dry. Unless someone else is controlling the drone, you will have to keep the remote and phone dry while you record. Then it depends on how fast you will be going. In Normal mode( sensors on) under 16mph, active track Trace. Between 16-25mph parallel. Anything over that, you will have to use sport mode( no sensors). If the drone icon is a walking person after you lock on, then it may max out below 25mph.
@@uosocal Thank you for your thoughts. I imagined keeping the remote on land, ideally controlled by a person.
@@larssol1 that would probably be best. Then they could use spotlight in sport mode. They can fly the drone all around and keep you centered.
@@uosocal thank you 🙏 Much appreciated.
