Flair has many different modes of target tracking. Here Simon explains why those different modes exist, how they work, how to choose the right one and what their effects and limitations or advantages are.
It is vital to understand the different modes to get the most out of the power of Flair. Flair is super powerful but most operators only use a small percentage of its capabilities just like most Word users only use a small percentage of its features. Target Tracking was developed by MRMC 35 years ago, but modern Flair takes Target Tracking to be more advanced than ever.
The techniques shown are on Flair Classic and a Milo, but they apply also to Flair 7 and any other rig.
