A video of what looks to be ActiveTrack 3.0 running on the upcoming DJI Mavic Air 2 drone has recently emerged online. In the clip, we see the drone’s perspective as it follows a mountain biker riding through the forest. The video doesn’t exactly push the subject-tracking tech to its limits. But from a first glance, it looks to be an improvement over the tracking DJI offers on its current drones.

One of the dramatically improved features of the new Mavic 2 Zoom and Pro drones is DJI’s ActiveTrack 2.0. Where in the past ActiveTrack would lose its subject quite easily, it now locks on with much greater confidence and also attempts to predict your movements up to three seconds into the future so it won’t lose sight of you when you suddenly disappear behind small trees as DC Rainmaker shows in his video. Is it as good as the Skydio R1? No, it isn’t but it is a big step up from the original ActiveTrack.
How does ActiveTrack exactly work on the DJI Mavic Air? Well, this video that just appeared on YouTube explains almost everything in detail. ActiveTrack allows you to have your drone follow and film you as walk, hike, run or in this case bike. Does ActiveTrack work in the same way as other drones from DJI? This video will answer most of your questions in great detail.
