Learn how to use the Follow On-the-fly Mode. Fly the drone into position and start Follow mode, which tracks the GPS position of your mobile device, and allows you to optionally make other adjustments during flight.

Features Highlight

Beyond just doing GPS Follow, Dronelink offers a few unique features that make Follow Mode even more useful:

Using the Map Preview

The map preview displays various useful information in follow mode.

	Actual drone location and heading
	Projected drone location and heading (semi-transparent)
	Mobile device location
	Home point location

Adjusting Framing During Follow Mode

As you are being followed you can adjust the drones distance, rotation, altitude, and tilt with your remote controller. As this happens, the map preview shows the projected new location of the drone. The actual drone will move into this new location with a slight delay.

The faster your location is moving, the faster the drone will respond to inputs and moving to the new position.
