The fastest I found on the flight log was 15 mph. Most of the time it was around 7 mph. I adjusted the flight path on the go to make sure I didn't hit the tree. It should have been above it, but didn't want to take a chance, since I was going by the monitor and not visual.100' (30m) more and you'd have been in those branches. How fast were you travelling? Really?
I totally agree. I would never use the DJI's or even Lichi's follow mode. I have used Autopilot FOLLOW mode with an Airspace object many times (actually 53 Follow missions) without any problems (iPhone 6 attached to a working Search Dog - probably one of the most challenging Follow applications I can think of especially because I don't want the quad to be too far away - 30' high and 50' distance with position absolute 180 degrees). Occasionally you see minor unexpected corrective movements due to variations/errors in the GPS positioning. However I found Autopilot to be extremely "smart" in recognizing unrealistic changes in both location and altitude. I have grown so comfortable with the Follow mode in Autopilot that I leave the RC unattended with the Quad following me for the whole K-9 search event (typically 15+ minutes covering 20+ acres of terrain).
