Follow me mode. Have I got it?

[Frankc]

I think I am doing everything right.

I go into MC menu settings and set my max hight 120m.
MC menu - Advanced settings - Enabled Multiple Flight mode. Slide it over to green for on.
After Take Off I get to 30m+ toggle from P to F on the controller at the rear.

That's were nothing much happens. I get a screen with four boxes. Three of them blank. The top left box I can select Attitude? mode? I cant remember exactly which one it is but its certainly not Waypoints or follow me etc

I am running 1.5 firmware/software.

So what am I doing wrong? Advice would be appreciated.

Try reinstalling the DJI GO app.

 

[Frankc]

Thank you for your reply. Can I infer from that I should have the function? I was wondering if it came in a later update than the setup I have installed.

 

[msinger]

Those features were added in 1.4.

A print screen of those 4 boxes would be helpful as well. Even a photo taken of the screen.

 

[Frankc]

I will try again tomorrow. If it still does not work I will take a photo of the screen to show you what I mean.

Your device needs to have cell service.
Wifi won't cut it.

 

[Frankc]

Ahhhh you could be right. Rotten cell service around here. Will try it in another positition.

Thank you.

Not sure about the cell service, but need gps. Drone must know were your at and with no gps, its blind. Also make sure you have your altitude correct of 30+ feet. I could not enable "F" mode till height was high enough to enable "Follow Me".

Do you have Wi-Fi with a good signal turned on?

 

[Ken Hanks]

In airplane mode (no wifi) and gps enabled, follow Me works

 

[Bill Croom]

great, I used my phone as a hotspot to enable wifi and follow me mode worked without issue.....safe flying

 

[Frankc]

Going to give it another go this afternoon.

 

[Frankc]

Still no joy.

Ok. Just gone into the DJI APP

This is what I have.

App. 2.5.0
Remote Controller 1.5.70
Aircraft 1.3.2

I know they all require updating. Cannot do it until I get the SD card adaptor.

So should I be getting follow me etc with this software?

 

[msinger]

Aircraft 1.3.2

You need to install firmware 1.4 or higher on your Phantom.

 

[Ken Hanks]

Take the plunge, install 1.6 ;-)

 

[Frankc]

I tried and failed this afternoon to update the software. Its a real pain in the ***** trying to do this without a micro sd card adaptor. I ordered two last week and they should have been here by now.

So you think like me its the wrong firm/software version?

I don't think it... those features were added in 1.4.

 

[Frankc]

Thank you. I will just have to be patient and wait.

Is your tablet IOS or Android? If IOS, it must have 4G/LTE to have GPS - but you don't need to have a cell connection. (For some reason Apple bundles GPS and cellular.) Essentially all modern Android tablets have GPS, even if wifi-only.
