Mavic Reverse Tap Fly

Without the drone in front of me (I'm at work), is this feature available on the Mavic yet?

There is "Tap Fly", but I don't know what "Reverse Tap Fly" is. Could you explain?

The better option might be "course lock" that way the Mavics orientation can be changed to suit while flying on a straight line, you would have to keep an eye on elevation though, as that remains the same as when the mode is enabled, but is adjustable in flight!
Hope this helps?

The Phantom 4 Pro has it. Basically the same as normal tap fly, except you tap on the subject you want to frame, and then tap reverse tap fly, and it moves away from the subject.

Cheers! Yeah was aware of the course lock, I just liked the fact that reverse tap fly automatically moved rearward, while maintaining focus on the subject without much user input.

You can also do it, to some extent, using Active Track. Although horizontal speed control seems to be limited to about 3-4kph (not counting if the Mavic is actually following a subject).

Thanks I'll have a crack at that today.
