Follow me (or other subject) in DJI Fly App

cheddar-man · Feb 7, 2022

Am I right in thinking that there is no "follow me (or some other subject) in the DJI Fly app/Mini 2 combination?

Watching a YouTube video I noticed that using the Quick Shot functions, once the target has been selected, "green box" around a person for example, if that person moves the green box/camera follows it? Could this not be used as a follow me function?
Got a friend who rides and asked if I could film her riding along a beach. My piloting skills are still fairly basic at the moment having only had the M2 for a week.

That's correct ... no active track functionality available there.

But if you use the Rainbow app or the Litchi app you will have it ...

I found this video in YouTube that explains how to make possible "Active Tracking" on the Mini 2 with the DJI Fly app.

I have tried all those hacks and rarely made it work well. The bottom line is, if you want Active Track, get a drone that has the option or use Litchi once they support Mini 2. Unfortunately, DJI will not support follow me for the Mini 2 because it has no colission sensors.

Neither did the Phantom 3 Advanced but it had it using the DJI Go app I seem to remember?

I have bought Litchi but can't install it on my iPhone XR yet!!
