[QUOTE="redrydermedia, post: 5339, member: 446"] I understand Active Track is limited to 100ft. I believe this distance is the horizontal distance from Home Point to Spark. I believe this restriction is independent of elevation, but I don't really know. I can't find these restrictions in the manual. I saw a video that made these claims. I haven't tested these limits because I'm trying to play very conservative/safe with Spark to avoid anything that might initiate a flyaway. If the 100ft limit is true, then I'm limited in my wandering by a circle with a 100ft radius, with a center at the Home Point. Based on that, I've been flying Spark wrong. I've been taking off and backing Spark up to a separation distance I want between me and Spark. What I should be doing is back MYSELF up so Spark remains at the Home Point, and then when I venture out with Active Track from there, I have the maximum area to wander in, and not have Spark go outside the circle. Maybe a subtle point, but I'm going to change how I think from now on. I hope DJI can provide some clarity on this issue, and I hope they will open up these limitations, or allow this 100ft parameter to be set by the operator. [/QUOTE]
