'Follow me' feature doesn't work on Mavic mini 1 after latest update to v.4.8.2.
I'm having an issue with 'Follow me' feature for my Mavic mini (first model). When starting it, the drone just goes random direction very fast. A bit dangerous actually.
It started happening after latest update to v.4.8.2 on Android device. Was working all fine on the previous version.

When going through the set up process at what distance and altitude did you set it to ? If set to close to you and/ or to high above it may react strangely. I believe the very minimum distance from you needs to be 30’ which is explained when going through the set up. Also if set at a higher altitude it will have a hard time because It is designed to follow from behind not above. I’ve found that it works best when set to about 50’ or more distance and at about 50 to 75’ altitude. If still an issues I can check a bit later with my MM & MA2.
yeah i'd check with my mini2, but weather isn't suitable at the minute, what OS is your device
Android 12 on Samsung Note10.
I'll try the suggested distance settings later in the evening.
There are many steps when setting it up as indicated in the DL tutorial. Anything to close to your device or too high up will more than likely not work properly. I’d also suggest enabling all settings so you have stick control to adjust the altitude, distance etc. Also the altitude relative to ground and updated home-point. If you don’t enable the home-point then if it goes into RTH it will start returning back to the launched home-point location. You can take back control at that time but I like having it update every 5 seconds so it’s always close to your location if it does trigger RTH for any reason.

I have confirmed with my mini 2 / android combo the follow mode is indeed broken. It was a regression from 4.8.1 (273) to 4.8.2 (274). Working on a fix ASAP
Yeah I remember that issue with Android OS. This is with a MM but I’m guessing it’s the same with a M2. I tried yesterday with my MM with IOS device and no issues.
Not working in 4.8.3 (279) Beta either
