Introduction – Are You Following Me?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Picture the scene: you\u2019re just about to reach the top of the mountain. The golden hour lighting is absolutely sublime. As you reach the peak, you\u2019ve got the framing just right to capture the dramatic sunset. But suddenly you realize you can\u2019t actually get the epic shot of yourself that you envisaged because you\u2019re too busy controlling the drone.<\/p>\n

To overcome this, drone manufacturers have developed automation features that take out a lot of the guesswork and are making aerial photography more and more intuitive. Drones that follow you let you make the most of your adventure without the worry of crashing your beloved drone because you\u2019re too focused on where you\u2019re going. Let\u2019s move on to look at how follow me drones actually work, what the difference is between models, and which is comes out on top.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1. How Do Follow Me Drones Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Drones that follow you are able to autonomously track a target, without having to be piloted. Currently there are two main technologies that are used in the follow me feature, most commonly found in quadcopter drones, and they work in different ways to allow drones to track objects autonomously and accurately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

1) GPS Tech<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The earliest follow me drones were programmed to follow a GPS transmitter or Ground Station Controller (GSC) that users had to wear. This created a virtual tether between the user and the drone. This GPS transmitter is usually built into the remote controller, which then becomes required for the drone to follow you.<\/p>\n

DJI first introduced follow me drones in 2015 with the Phantom 3 series<\/a>. Its vast array of Intelligent Flight Modes include Follow Me, Course Lock, Waypoints, Home Lock, and Points of Interest. As with other GPS-based drones, the Phantom 3 requires a remote controller and the DJI GO app to enable Follow Me mode.<\/p>\n

So why use GPS tech? The tracking accuracy of GPS tech is unrivaled, providing much better precision than other techs. However, a tracker\/transmitter is always required for the system to work and obstacle avoidance is not a feature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

2) Vision Recognition Tech<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Detecting objects, people, and obstacles through data captured by a camera has been used in robotics since the early 2000s. Due to its high requirements on computing, battery life, and safety, the tech has only been used in drones for the last few years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In general, the vision recognition technology works as follows:<\/p>\n
