[QUOTE="suprPHREAK, post: 14923, member: 1505"] One day it was fine, the next it was trying to chop up my face. Then another day if flew away and crashed. Will never use these modes again. I can assure you it isnt made up, and the culmination of the issues resulted in DJI replacing the drone. I'm not sure if it was compass related, IMU related, or Active Track related. All I know is, I powered it up, put it in my palm, waited for the lights, double tap, and duck. Sometimes it would settle into a hover 2 metres behind where I was standing, obviously not looking at me. Initially, it worked great. At some point, it didnt. And then the crash happened. Note that this was ALL while in Gesture Mode (no device connected), so maybe with an app connected it knows better, or at least reports better. But for me, that mode is dangerous and useless after my experience. If anything: never use pal launch without the prop guards. While someone here claimed the props wont cut your skin (they will), they will most certainly cut your eyes. Be safe, flyer beware. [/QUOTE]
