Draw a rectangle with your finger on the screen of your device, around yourself. When
has a lock on you, the blue rectangle turns to green and the orange “LAND”
box at the center of the top bar of the HUD turns red and displays “STOP”.
By default, keeps you in the center of the frame, but you can drag the green
box to the area of the screen you want to remain at. If you push the right joystick of
the Parrot Skycontroller 3 to the left, circles around you clockwise. If you push
the right joystick of the Parrot Skycontroller 3 to the right, circles around you
counterclockwise.
In the Follow Me mode, manages the gimbal tilt to keep you in the center of
the frame. Therefore, the left trigger of the Parrot Skycontroller 3 is deactivated in
this mode. However, you can still control the zoom, with the right trigger.
When you release the commands in the Follow Me mode, keeps following you from a
constant distance if you are moving. If you stay immobile, stops and stays focused on
you.
To have stop tracking you, tap the red “STOP” box at the center of the top bar of the
HUD.
When no target is selected, or when the tracking has been ended by the pilot, ’s
behavior is similar to that of the Manual flight mode.
In addition, the Follow Me mode features a series of exclusive Dronies which can be activated
as you move, always keeping you in the center of the frame. For each Dronie, two options
are available (they are listed between brackets):
- Orbit (left or right): circles around you in a full 360°.
- Parabola (10 or 30 m): flies in a circular arc over your head, gaining 10 or
30 meters in altitude and turning 180° at its peak.
- Tornado (10 or 30 m): performs a double “Orbit” around you, one going
up 10 or 30 meters, the other going down 10 or
30 meters, back to its original height.
- Boomerang (30 or 60 m): flies away from you for 30 or 60 meters,
with an ascending angle following that of the starting
gimbal tilt, then comes back to its starting point.
To select a Follow Me Dronie, make sure you are in the Follow Me mode and that
is tracking you.
Tap the “Select Dronie” box in the bottom bar of the HUD.
Tap a Dronie to select it. Tap the option you have chosen to activate the Dronie: after
2 seconds, starts moving around you. The corresponding Dronie box fills with
green as the Dronie unfolds.
