Does anyone know what the Phantom would do if there was a signal interruption while it was in follow me mode? Not that it should happen but just curious.
Follow me uses the display devices GPS location to update the Home Point every 4-5 seconds. So RTH would be..... the last known HP?
I think the P3 just blows up.
How do you know that ? In that case it would be necessary to insure that the controller's antennas are pointed at the arcraft or it will never record the new home point. This function works with the controller in the car and the bird a couple of hundred ft. high.
It flashes this pop up notice on the screen every 4-5 seconds.
Tablet or phone needs to have built in GPS and it has to be connected to the remote to work as follow me.
GPS location from your device is continuously sent to the drone via remote and because it is changing, moving constantly so is the drone. When you turn off your remote it will stop or go to the last recorded RTH position...
I think the bird is linked to the laptop via satellite and that the bird gets updated data from the laptop every time it gets a 3d fix. The home point stored on the bird is then set to the laptop location.
I bet you can shut of the controller and it will still follow.
Ok, I watched a video of follow me today where the bird was following a car, which was way out of sight, at a very high height . The controller had to be loosing connection with the bird but the bird still found the car after it parked further down the road. Nobody you see doing this seems to be making any effort to keep the antennas pointed at the bird either. Please explain why it didn't initiate a return to home.
I know what your talking about, Mine does the same. Everything else works, But not follow me. "(I tried follow me yesterday. But it didn't follow me. Although it displayed " follow me enabled" but it just hovered? I was on the beach and set the drone at 20 feet but it would not follow after several attempts. POI worked well though.
Any ideas would be helpful?
Thanks.
