    P4P Tablet of choice....Do you still need GPS?

    Yes...i know...the reference to the Vision was just a comparison (OLD TECH) The P2 Vision never had a follow me feature.....I'm not talking about flying with it Stay with the program. Thanks for your response, even if it was a quote from their manual. ;)

    P4P Tablet of choice....Do you still need GPS?

    Yeah...i think that's a reasonable assumption. We've established AT is a flight mode. Where do you "select" the "follow me" (does it say "follow me") function to enable it on the P4P ? I'm dealing with the original DJI Vision, and do not have the DJI GO app for P4P available.

    P4P Tablet of choice....Do you still need GPS?

    Go and try and find ANY reference to 'FOLLOW ME' in the PRO or PRO+ Manual. There is none. And all you get is that "note" about tablets. And the term NEW TECHNOLOGY means exactly that. As 'follow me" goes its is a legacy of previous models. The manual only supports the term Active Track as that...

    P4P Tablet of choice....Do you still need GPS?

    It is true...I'm not faulting your post...it is in agreement with their manual. I'm saying DJI needs to fix the notes and inform people they no longer need a GPS capable tablet for that particular function on P4P or P4P+. If the P4P says "Follow Me" in the DJI GO App...it should be changed to...

    P4P Tablet of choice....Do you still need GPS?

    I dont think you do need GPS for the follow me to function for P4P/P4P+. Here is the quote from the manual: ActiveTrack Intelligent Mode QUOTE ["This Phantom 4 Pro ActiveTrack intelligent mode allows you to mark and track a moving object on your mobile device screen. It’s the new "Follow Me...

    P4P Tablet of choice....Do you still need GPS?

    Yes, that's what it reads....but has it changed the function for P4P/P4P+ and DJI is just not telling ? Unfortunately, DJI has that statement as a 'note', in their manual...and make no distinctions for the P4P that this "Follow Me" function even exists in the app. Its simpy referred to as...

    P4P Tablet of choice....Do you still need GPS?

    [" You will need GPS on your mobile device if you want to use the Follow Me"] Do you have a resource for this claim ? If you are correct...then the P4P+ DJI 5 inch Display that comes with the plus model...must have GPS????

    Just Returned Pro 4+

    [Saw on a You Tube video where some clip popped up while researching drone videos that you can buy a single seat turbine helicopter in kit form for about $40K. According the the manufacturer you don't have to register it with the FAA and the pilot does not need a pilots license to fly it.]...

    P4P Tablet of choice....Do you still need GPS?

    Yes....i am. It doesn't show that you need GPS for this feature? ...Follow me is listed as "Active Track".

    P4P Tablet of choice....Do you still need GPS?

    Didn't DJI say the P4P now uses 'sensors' to track the individual ( ActiveTrack)..and not GPS?...I'm confused about this feature, change from the P4 to P4P. Top DJI Phantom 4 Pro Intelligent Flight Modes Reviewed

    P4P Tablet of choice....Do you still need GPS?

    One of the features of the P4P different from the P4 is the "Follow Me", which now uses sensors from the drone, rather than a GPS signal for the feature to work. This begs the question, "is the tablet/phone GPS still needed or in what way is it utilized with the P4P. I'm about the pull the...

    Just got the NVIDIA Shield...

    Once you have it configured...lock down Google play app updates. Apps i keep on my Nexus 7: Wind Alert MX Player GPS status K-Index Monitor Fing Tablet Wifi always set to "forget" often used wifi signals...(so if you disconnect...the tablet will ONLY attempt a reconnect to the Phantom Vision)

    Bricked camera fix?

    I just got an RMA approval from DJI to send mine to them for my camera issue.....So i assume they still will work on them....no estimate of costs yet tho....So i'm hesitant to trust DJI wont send me a 500 dollar repair cost....They don't give you much info on their process or prices.
