HighFlyingRunner: Mavic Air first run! (4K)

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Contributor High Flying Runner was one of the first runners to realize the power of drones to record running sessions, even in hilly and varied terrains. His videos cover thousands of km of trailrunning in the USA. In this video, he uses his DJI Mavic Air drone for the first time. He is a big fan of DJI's Active Track technology, which allows its drones to track a moving object (in this case, a runner) with no input from the pilot.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

I got to take the Mavic Air out for its first high flying run over the weekend! (Wore my favorite race shirt, too 😃) I absolutely love the size & weight in my backpack, but I was surprised to find pretty significant differences between the Pro and Air ActiveTrack implementations. I'm going to hold off on comparing them in detail just yet because I'd like to do the same shot with both and compare them side-by-side, but until then the best way I can describe Air's ActiveTrack is "twitchy". I had to use Adobe Premiere's Warp Stabilizer at 25% strength to smooth this out, which is something I haven't really ever had to do with my Pro. Stay tuned for more detailed comparison.
