3DR Solo Drone - Follow Me

So, I'm trying to get the Solo to Follow Me.

(Follow Me starts at 3:55.)

OK. Now, I got it. You click on the Movie Slate icon on the iphone screen, and it gives you some options. You click "Follow Me", and it starts to follow you. Easy Peasy.


With this, I was able to make the Solo follow me around Platou Circle, but when I got back, I'm not clear that it recorded anything on the GoPro. Hmmmm.

Update: Oh yeah. It was recording alright buddy. Very cool.

So, now I've done a successful "Follow Me" run with the drone. Now, to understand some of the other nuances of the "Follow Me" mode.

Swipe your screen to the right and see location solo is following you from.

Right stick right/left makes Solo go around the circle.
Left stick adusts altitude.
Right stick up/down - increase or decrease solo follows.
Click on Orbit Left or Orbit right at bottom of the screen to make Solo orbit around you.
Finally, click "Look at me" at the bottom of the screen to make the Solo stop and follow you with the camera only.
