    Getting the Follow mode to work

    Follow shots work fine I use them often. It's important you have a strong GPS signal on both Solo and the device. If you want Solo to Follow uncheck "Look at Me" or Solo will stay in place like Cameraman. Most of this video was shot with Solo recently.

    Solo is still the best Follow Drone

    Setting Waypoint speed from 1,000 to 2,000 in MP increased Follow speed to over 30 MPH .

    Solo is still the best Follow Drone

    Those were Solo shots, the Typhonn H is good for higher speeds(45 mph). Unfortunattly I fly low sometimes so I knocked off the H camera for a third time(in for repair), I'm flying Solo here.

    Solo is still the best Follow Drone

    With over 1,000 flights I semi-retired my 4 year old Solo. After knocking the camera off my H, then my Anafi controller battery dieing I whipped out Solo#1. It was over 100 degrees out so I ran 10" MA props instead of the 11" APC's. I forget how good Solo is in Follow. It's so easy to do Follow...

    Help with Follow Me speed

    Not exactly sure what is going on. Parameters were the same. But I found something interesting in the Apple app I set the performance sliders all the way up and it made no difference in follow me speed. Then I tried my Android tablet again setting the sliders all the way up and the follow me...

    Getting the Follow mode to work

    App is a little confusing, after enabling Follow stay in orbit(it won't orbit unless you select a direction and speed). In orbit follow mode uncheck look at me or it won't follow.

    Help with Follow Me speed

    I put my Solo # 3 into action, Follow me works fine as usual. Issue is when using my Android tablet Follow Me top speed is normal, about 25-30 mph. When I use my iPad Mini4(which I prefer for the baro) I'm limited to about 10 MPH? I have the performance sliders all the way up and I'm using the...

    3-Blade MAS prop test results (log analysis & video)

    I flew the tri-blades today and the results were not much different than the APC 10" props. I was flying at 8,000 feet so sea level results may differ. Without all the calculations and figures they don't sound quieter but more pleasant than the stock props.. It felt like less vibration than...

    3-Blade MAS prop test results (log analysis & video)

    I've been flying 11" APC's for years, they work great at altitude and smooth Solo out. Haven't had a motor issue yet. I purchased the MAS 3 bladed props thinking they would have more blade area like the 11" props and work better at altitude, I fly between 6-8k feet. I'll test soon.

    3DR Solo vs Mavic Air, do you agree?

    I have active tracked over 22 mph but I don't have time to waste with you. Use GPS Follow I've done over 30 mph in GPS follow. Produce the video or admit Solo does it better. And if AT were limited to 22 mph again you lose. Tell you what do it at 21 mph, we'll play by your rules. We're waiting.

    3DR Solo vs Mavic Air, do you agree?

    Top speed of the Mavic Pro is not 22 mph , with OA active speed is limited. I use to follow at over 30 mph with my P3P. Remember my comment about wearing a helmet? The Captain gets attacked, and it's apparent he couldn't follow well from the front either.

    3DR Solo vs Mavic Air, do you agree?

    I agree my need is unique however DJI does promote and market this use. I may have to retract part of my earlier statement. Anafi uses GPS and OR for Follow, I always carry a device on me so I never have the need to follow a subject with OR only. A controller is not required for follow with...

    3DR Solo vs Mavic Air, do you agree?

    Sure make sure you're going at least 25 miles an hour, following from the front, at 10 feet or less elevation. I have had this challenge to DJI guys for years. Anafi, Halo, Solo, Typhoon H... can all do it.

    3DR Solo vs Mavic Air, do you agree?

    Clear indication of your understanding. GO4 has both Active Track(optical recognition) and Follow Me (GPS Follow), you use one or the other. Parrot has patented technology that uses both simultaneously along with dynamic altitude. With Anafi if you follow the subject with a GPS enabled...
