Follow me

[Lachlan]

hi guys, still new to my drone and I was wondering if there is a setting so that the drone will follow you a set height.

There is a follow me feature. Here's how it works:

Where is the button to do that

DJI is referring to the S1 switch in the video. That's the toggle switch on the top, right of your remote controller. Move it to the bottom position to switch to F-mode.

When I changed the switch it told me to change the mode in settings to multiple flight modes so I did that and nothing happens

Did you do everything as shown in the video above? If so, where exactly did you see something different than what is shown in the video?

 

[Lachlan]

I did what it said in the video but when I flicked the switch it gave me a side notification to change to multiple flight modes in the settings. Then it didn't give me the option to change the mode to follow me.

Is there a chance that the setting has to be turned on first like in my picture

You just need to fly up to an altitude of at least 10m.

Thanks I got it working and know how to set the altitude but how do you set the distance it is away from you?

Back away the quad to the desired distance

If you want more advanced follow me take a look at Autopilot or Litchi.

Autopilot also does dynamic height so when you go up hill it will rise in altitude also. The DJI and Litchi app don't do this and can crash into ground in you go up to high.
