Hey y'all! New litchi (and drone in general user) user here! I have this shot in mind that I've seen before somewhere where the mavic follows a person on a bike as he's riding on a dirt road with trees to the left and right (and hanging over the road) at various altitudes.

The Mavic just follows him and goes up and down avoiding the tree branches.

What's the best and safest way to achieve something like that? I've tried follow me before and know I can't take fast sharp turns behind building and expect it to follow/find but I haven't tried it with trees around haha
 
A good pilot, and probably a racing quad more than a Mavic.

Wish I could find the post but it was one of his first video edits using a mavic.

EDIT: Found the video. Look at it starting at 0:37

So it is unclear under what circumstances the Mavic still behaves the same as when running with Go4. I would assume (that magic word) that the behavior is in the aircraft - not the app.
So when in a waypoint mission say the last waypoint has return to home set as the end action - will it do obstacle avoidance on the return?
I confess I'm too chicken to fly it at a tree to find out.
