[QUOTE="Mr Geek, post: 75284, member: 15144"] Hi Al, For this video I used both Profile Mode and Trace Mode (using in-app panning) and manual positioning while airborne while Spark was locked in "mode" from inside the Jeep. As you described, Trace Mode tries to follow or trace the path the object travels following behind it (tracing) but it will cord through tight curves. Profile mode will try to maintain an offset that is relative to the initial position the user sets and a compass bearing of the line drawn from the drone to the Jeep (object). One thing I learned, which you also described, is that when using Profile Mode in Active Track you set a position somewhere around an object, in this case the Jeep. The drone will then try to maintain that relative compass bearing to the object (which initially I did not realize). In other words the angular position is not relative to the objects geometry, instead the angular relationship from the Jeep (object) to the drone is relative to the initial compass heading/bearing from the drone to the object when the object began moving and is not relative to the geometry of the object. This isn't fully illustrated in the video because I was mixing modes as well as manually panning (with target locked) around the Jeep while driving. I am working on more example videos to both learn and share if they seem worthy to share. On Speed: I haven't measured my speed yet in any meaningful way but I was traveling at a slower pace than faster speeds used in other successful tests two days ago and the speedo was showing 15 MPH. Since the drone will travel up to 31MPH (Sport Mode) and 22 MPH in RTH Mode I would assume it can at least maintain 20 MPH or greater. My guess is the drone will travel as fast as is possible in these modes but more testing is needed to confirm this. [/QUOTE]
