Just had to share this coolness! Finally had a chance to test out an airspace with a buddy flying another drone with autopilot. If you haven't tried this, when you connect via another Autopilot instance you get TWO autopilot objects showing up in your airspace, the other autopilot device AND the other drone! So of course we had to try Follow mode. It worked fantiastically well. My buddy flew his Phantom 3 in black box mode (i.e. free fly) and my Phantom 4 Pro tracked him incredibly well. We eventually found the edges of where he could lose me off camera momentarily, but it took a concerted effort of sharp turns and flying under the chase drone, which I was also running with a 30' or so horizontal offset (cuz there's nothing worse than centered footage!).
Anyways, thought others might enjoy. We flew an entire battery set this way, just because it was so utterly fascinating and impressive!
