The popularity of aerial photography and videography has provided not just creators, but also athletes, a way to help them train, learn about their techniques and see things from a different perspective. With the introduction of the DJI Phantom 4, doing all of this makes it even easier. The ActiveTrack feature on the Phantom 4 allows it to recognize a person, follow it and capture every moment along the way, whether they are a downhill skier, marathon runner or biker.
