Follow me - I think it's just a gimmick

[happydays]

I want to know how you mounted the tx in the bike. I want to test that on my beach cruiser

Using the bar underneath the Tx. I secured it to the handlebars using some bicycle toe clip straps that I had lying around. Cable ties would work but they're not removable.

One thing that could be a problem is apples stupid wifi assisted gps. Turn that crap off so you get a pure gps location and see what that does. I'm betting that's what caused the strange right turn on the way back to the start point.

That might work. Might be worth another try.

In addition to my P3P, I have a Q500 by Yuneec. The follow me and watch me modes work a little better. However max speed is 15mph. I did the same bike handlebar test, I got pretty good results but I positioned the craft about 150' high and 200' in front of me, providing more tolerance to give the system time to adjust while keeping me in the frame. I went about 4 miles, 2 in lead me orientation and 2 with it following me, but it's called "watch me" mode to keep the camera pointing at the controller, in Yuneec speak.

I thought the footage was remarkably good considering its consumer grade equipment. And this is version one of the application.

I agree. It's pretty good, but not as impressive as the POI function which is amazeballs.
