Thanks for sharing your trials and tribulations of using a drone on a motorcycle. very educational and entertaining as well!! I am about to try they same stuff in the desserts of southern California. peace!
No. Active track is fixed on a subject/person so if you want the drone to follow that subject you would need the subject to be carrying the remote all the time! So defeats the purpose of (Active Track) 🤷
@@deekthetrucker5885 well they could add a feature to follow the remote. That and the current active track can both exist. As a motorcyclist, the Skydio implementation is the best.
😊See if this helps. Draw the green box around the subject. Then move the drone slightly left and right until a place marker symbol appears inside the green box (in addition to the “x”). That means it is locked on the subject inside the box. Unless you see the additional place market symbol it usually is not locked on to the subject.
i found the solution, you just need to open your arms right after you draw the box around you. The drone recognise you has a person so can effectively track you
Glad to hear that man. I've been using it more recently and if you open your arms while drawing the square around you. it will track you as a "person" which means the track mode will work! I will make another video soon
@@JRidesTheWorld yes that’s the tip I saw thanks, just uploaded my first adventure ride using the drone on my new 390 adventure after selling the 1190 Adventure R !
Thanks a lot for posting this. I had similar issues with my Mini3 while attempting to active track me on DR650 in an Australian desert, but I did not have your patience or perseverance. I will give it another try as you have inspired me. I wonder if the Mini4 has improved the active track option. Anyways, thanks again.
Hey mate can i bother you to show me a more clearer pic of how you got that go pro connection to work? I cant quite seem to find the bits that match always seem to be the 3 part connector to 3 part. Cant seem to find working parts. And couldnt wuite make it out on the video. I was going to velcro it to tank but this is a better option.
Hi mate. trying to explain how it works even if it's not easy via text. This is what you need: 1x curved gopro mount ( standard for helmets etc) 1x handlebar gopro mount ( for motorcyle no push bikes) 1x gopro sticker to attach to your drone remote. I hope this helps. A lot of people also uses the quadlock universal mount. I will do a better view on this, just waiting for the snow to melt here in the alps!
@JRidesTheWorld thanks mate I have the chin mount ram mount which has the tripod go pro mount screwed on the top. Was hoping to be able to use this. I also have the quad lock mount. I will look for a go pro connector today that will fit on it. Will just be removing phone and replacing with controller. I'm off to Thailand in a couple of days and trying to work out solutions. As just got the drone. Cheers
My recognition shows 40-44 km/h is max in Neutral mode and appr. 60 km/h is max. in Sport mode. Additional info. Into the UE max distans allowed for autmoatic/tracking object is 50 meters from drone.
Nice video. I found to have similar problems not recognizing me sitting on the bike... standing up works much better. The ai recognition for motorbikes could be better dji... People, cars, bicycles works much better to recognize..
@@JRidesTheWorld I am not sure. But you were trying in N-mode and the max speed is 36km/h in N mode. And that is when you were losing it. Try it in S mode next time, maybe then your speeds is 56km/h . But remember, there is no obstacle avoidance in S-mode.
@@BMWHP2 will give it a go thanks! Btw I did test it again during the rally Umbria ( one of the latest video on my channel) and I got some pretty sick shots! They were filmed in N mode
@@JRidesTheWorld I am reading the latest manual. In Active Track 4.0 the max speed remains the same in Sport, Normal and Cine modes. But that can be explained both ways. because after that, it says: in Trace mode the max speeds is 10 m/s. They could have said the same in Active track mode, but there it says that speeds remain in the S-N-C modes . . . . ? Confusing
Thanks a lot for the great review video. I tried it myself a lot of times, never worked as good. You did it perfect where nobody else is driving. but to me this is just not yet ready. do you probably have a dji mini pro 4 already and tested it there?
Hello, i did not try the Mini pro 4 yet. However, i tested again mine and it worked pretty well, it is just a matter of experience in using it. Check our my " Rally Umbria" video, i have some crazy follow cam drone shots
Congratulations, even with the difficulties the video was cool. The idea of support for RC was good, but it could give you a big loss. I've seen this support break due to shaking with the Gopro itself. And this RC weighs a lot more than the Gopro, use a lanyard. 🤝 from Brazil.
Obrigado Antonio for the comment! Yeah the RC weights a bit, but i managed to make it work in my last rally (check the video on my channel : Rally Umbria) and you'll see some epic shots i did with the active track. It followed me for more than 3min!
Hey, I did not try that mainly because the further you fly the drone from your the more difficult the tracking is. I tried also sideways and it worked. Did you watch the full video?
Yep I got it. I managed to make it work and the result was amazing! You can find some active track shots in my latest video “ rally Umbria”. The secret to get tracked is to open the arms so he recognizes you
@@JRidesTheWorld Awesome! i liked how you remained positive even though it was frustrating you 😆 great video👍 I got the same exact drone last week..Yesterday I sent it 2.7 miles out (about 4-5 km).. still had good signal. I love it
Hey awesome video, any chance you can share your mount with the go pro in more details? I was checking that if you switch to ''normal'' instead of ''nifty'' obstacle avoidance it might consider you as a person :D did not check it yet myself
Hey, i think i have to do another video on this, i received so many questions around the mount. But it's pretty simple: handlebar mount + curve mount that's it.
Had the same problem, while driving my bike, also in vertical stand no obstacles in the way. One time it stopped following after 40 sec, then 20 sec, 50 sec....I will try the solution with the arms, see if it works. Or did you find another solution in the meantime?
Ciao , ho il tuo stesso drone , purtroppo il limite è proprio nella velocità , speriamo in qualche aggiornato che porti l'active track almeno a 60km/h :) . Quando sei sulla moto per aiutare il riconoscimento , prima di partire , prova ad aprire le braccia per farti agganciare.

Thank you, I found this video very very interesting and helpful. I've just bought a Mini 3 pro and haven't tried this feature yet. Have you tried this feature in sport mode? I could see you were on normal mode I think? I understand sport mode has no obstacle avoidance so I guess you did not want to try it in this location but maybe in this mode you could go a little faster? Cheers from Australia.
Thanks Greg for the kind words, i did not test the active track in Sport mode, but i've seen another video on YT trying that and it doesn't really change much. Just a little bit faster. However, i finally tested the active mode properly in my last video (Rally Umbria) and it worked incredibly well! Check it out if you wish, epic follow mode drone shots are around 15min of the edit! I wish i could ride in Australia one day!
@@JRidesTheWorld Thanks for your reply. I checked out your video(Rally Umbria) Great video and the tracking looks nice. Wonder why it was not working so well in the first video. Do you think its because it was more open terrain in (Rally Umbria)?
@@gregpetterson I think this is related to the light.. In the "rally Umbria" it was around 2PM (very bright) while in this test it was sunset time. This is just me guessing tho.
@@JRidesTheWorld Thanks for this info, does make sense it could be the low light. By the way, you did some fantastic drone shots for the intro of "rally Umbria."
Wearing BRIGHT colored clothes helps with active tracking... IE with a grey jacket and black backpack, you look the same as the road! Which is why when you Stand it helps, its tracking your blue jeans at that point. And when the lighting is just right, your jeans looks like the road.. Also being closer helps!
Conclusion is unfortunately after years 23:25 this tracking is stil bulshit. Maybe DJI should think about something else. Maybe a mobile tracker what u can put somewhere. TIL now it’s annoying and dangerous to use.
Maximum flight speed of 57.6km/h accoriding to DJI, so realistically about 45km/h This means that you can't really go much faster than 40km/h with tracking which is pretty slow on a motorbike. Better for following a pushbike IMO
But don't get me wrong, i like the drone overall to get nice footage. I'm planning to use the active track mode mainly in offroad so the speed won't be the issue. I just need to test it again ( haven't had the chance yet) and understand how improve the workflow etc Never heard about Litchi, what's that?
@@JRidesTheWorld I also have a Mini3Pro but I crashed it on day one from our last trip🙈 (got a new one tho). Litchi is a app that let’s you fly waypoint missions and does the tracking by following the controller signal, so it follows even under the trees😉 This is a test I did with my Mini2, that one works with Litchi (got a but lucky😂). th-cam.com/video/h0fYCzbDBPc/w-d-xo.html
I’ve been using it more recently, and once you understand how to use it .. it works ! This video was the first time I tried. If you open the arms while scanning you and your Moto, it recognizes you
@@stevesjourney7000 it does work, I can confirm. You just draw the square around you and then spread/open your arm right after. Give it a try and let me known
I also have this drone, and it's super annoying, it loses me very very often.....I am curious if there is something better than Mini3 Pro with active track....but maybe in the near future the SW will improve and it will work better and better
Not that I don't like active-track. Can do great things. But....GPS follow-me works much better on a bike. Pretty stupid DJI drones don't have it. Only with a 3th party app like Litchi of Maven. And those won't work (yet) with the Mini 3. So basically a Mini 2 is a better choice for now.
@@JRidesTheWorld Judge for yourself. th-cam.com/video/rp_G20lUmZA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ugq1zhTmy5zfp8oh Notice how I completely disappear behind the trees but it still follows. As important is a homepoint update option. You don't want having to race back. What the Fimi A3 doesn't do is point the camera at me when I use the sticks. My funny $135 L109 Pro does. So I can do fly-by's etc keeping me in the frame. I curious if that is possible with Litchi or Maven? Going into the settings is just a pain. You simply put the drone where you want and start follow-me. There aren't that many that do it right. Most only follow from behind which is useless. Can't see what it is doing.
@@JRidesTheWorld The Fimi A3 is amazingly accurate and responsive. I can have it fly half a meter in front of me and never crash into it at any speed. Last time I bought a C-Fly Faith Mini thinking the follow-me was good. But unfortunately it's total crap. I can't use the sticks. And it goes all wacky. Even flying it manually from my bike is a disaster. Because the best shots you actually get by flying it with the sticks. The follow-me feature is to keep the drone with you whether you are filming or not. People hardly ever use optical active-track in real life. It's a great feature don't get me wrong. But if you're on a bike tour or something follow-me is much quicker, much more user friendly. It's ridiculous DJI drones don't have it. Unless you use a third party app.
@@JRidesTheWorld I don't know if Maven already works with the DJI Mini 3 Pro? But if so I would buy the app and the old simple DJI controller. I don't think you can install Litchi or Maven on the smart controller? I could be wrong. Of course the smart controller is fantastic. But optical active-track can be extremely annoying. You have to stop and ride back all the time. Follow-me is just put the drone in the air and push the button. Never loses you. It's fair to say that active-track may get more interesting shots. But follow-me is more practical if you're in a hurry. When it takes half an hour for 30 seconds footage I just bother and ride on. I don't have time for that.
You were so excited. Glad to see it!

Seems like they should have a follow the remote control function. Wouldn't that be easier than using AI to recognize the target from a video?

I tried but it didn’t really change the speed while in tracking mode. Did it work for you?
Try going under some trees, you will lose it.
Can’t see your hand onscreen!
Sorry I didn’t get it?
maybe you need to change to sports mode
haven't tried that yet
Maybe he should try it on sports mode 🤔
I did try in Sport Mode but the speed doesn’t change 😢
Looks like DJI STILL has work to do. It lost you way too many times to even to be worth much more the $300
That thing is junk IJS...
I have to do another video on this, because I flew many more times after this and saw improvements! Yet it’s not perfect
Pilot rookie mistakes....
What did i do wrong?
@@tdc7 😂 why?
Not that I don't like active-track. Can do great things. But....GPS follow-me works much better on a bike. Pretty stupid DJI drones don't have it. Only with a 3th party app like Litchi of Maven. And those won't work (yet) with the Mini 3. So basically a Mini 2 is a better choice for now.
Never tried GPS follow-me! Is it worth it?

Notice how I completely disappear behind the trees but it still follows.
As important is a homepoint update option. You don't want having to race back.
What the Fimi A3 doesn't do is point the camera at me when I use the sticks. My funny $135 L109 Pro does. So I can do fly-by's etc keeping me in the frame. I curious if that is possible with Litchi or Maven? Going into the settings is just a pain. You simply put the drone where you want and start follow-me.
There aren't that many that do it right. Most only follow from behind which is useless. Can't see what it is doing.
@@JRidesTheWorld The Fimi A3 is amazingly accurate and responsive. I can have it fly half a meter in front of me and never crash into it at any speed.
Last time I bought a C-Fly Faith Mini thinking the follow-me was good. But unfortunately it's total crap. I can't use the sticks. And it goes all wacky. Even flying it manually from my bike is a disaster. Because the best shots you actually get by flying it with the sticks. The follow-me feature is to keep the drone with you whether you are filming or not.
People hardly ever use optical active-track in real life. It's a great feature don't get me wrong. But if you're on a bike tour or something follow-me is much quicker, much more user friendly. It's ridiculous DJI drones don't have it. Unless you use a third party app.
@@JRidesTheWorld I don't know if Maven already works with the DJI Mini 3 Pro? But if so I would buy the app and the old simple DJI controller. I don't think you can install Litchi or Maven on the smart controller? I could be wrong.
Of course the smart controller is fantastic. But optical active-track can be extremely annoying. You have to stop and ride back all the time. Follow-me is just put the drone in the air and push the button. Never loses you.
It's fair to say that active-track may get more interesting shots. But follow-me is more practical if you're in a hurry. When it takes half an hour for 30 seconds footage I just bother and ride on. I don't have time for that.
