OK the other day I wanted to use the Anafi to follow me on my snow machine and I had it set to track. As it proceeded to get behind me it just took off at a high rate of speed and ended up in a tree. It was recovered to fly again. Here is the post for that fly away.
So today I decided to do more testing with the Follow me mode to see if the first time was just a glitch or something else. Went to the local ball field and got the Anafi up in the air. Moved it off to a acceptable distance and started follow me mode. Had all 3 check marks checked for Drone GPS, Device GPS and Smartphones barometer. So I then had the green box drawn around me and the Anafi was following me for a short time then it just took off in a straight line at full speed (30.5 MPH). I was able to regain control by stopping the follow me mode on the phones screen and brought it back to where I was standing and flipped it over to shut off the motors.
Looking at the .Json file in ShowAnafiLogs program I can see the total distance it flew away but bringing it back to me (home point) the distance never changed. This is confusing to me. I am attaching the .Json file for anyone who wants to look at it and comment. Just remove the .pdf extension from the .Json file as this is the only way to upload to this forum.

Anafi Up In A Tree Again.
Went out this morning hoping to get some follow me video of myself riding my snowmachine. Made a pilot error in my setup that ended with my Anafi up in a Balsam tree 26 feet up. Same Anafi that spent last winter in a tree. Using just my phone I had set up for tracking which makes the Anafi want...
