MA controller setting

HYRYSC · Feb 18, 2018

Forgive me if I can't articulate this well, but my old P3P had a controller setting where if I pushed forward, it would always fly away from it's home point, but if I pulled back, it would always fly toward it's home point.

Does the Air have a similar setting?

No, the Mavic Air does not have the Home Lock flight mode.

Also known as "headless mode."

The reason that I ask is that yesterday my son and I were out hiking at a local trail and I put it in "follow me" mode and started flying around taking shots of him. Then suddenly as I was pushing forward (which should have moved the drone closer to him since the camera and the front of the drone was pointing at him) it moved the drone further away.

I stopped for a second then pushed forward again and it went further away again. Then I pulled down, it started getting closer to him again. I canceled the mode and brought it in and restarted it and it worked normally after that. I was just wondering if I might had inadvertently put it in the HomeLock mode.
