New features coming to Dronelink

maelstrom · Nov 20, 2020

Just got an email from Dronelink saying:

we need your feedback on FOCUS, FOLLOW, and ORBIT as we prepare to release these new modes in a few weeks.

There’s a beta available to test the modes.

Tested the Beta versions today and they are very nice additions to the DL feature set. The Follow mode is going to very useful to many.

The constant additions and improvements to DL are continuing to make this IMO the most versatile autonomous flight app for DJI birds.

Here is a boring silent clip of the Beta "Follow" tracking my RC in a SUV down a tree covered lane:

Just compare and decide what your needs are. You can start small and upgrade if the additional features become enticing.

Thanks. It would be interesting to see someone try this with a Mini.

If you are asking me, the answer is a cellular without a sims card. Bought specifically for flying and because it has GPS for thing like this.

Yes, thanks.

Another Dronelink Beta "Follow" video.
This is from a lower angle and includes changes in pitch (bringing horizon into view) and dropping and raising altitude as obstacles allowed and required.
