Enquiries of Geofence and follow me mode for anafi drone.

[S10003076]

Good day to all drone Pilots, please help me to clear my enquires .
First is the geofence is set with reference to the take off position? So will using of follow me mode affect the Geofencing?
Example I had set Geofence for 100m. I move 200m from the take off position. I select follow me mode. Will the drone fly to 100m (geofence) and stop? Or it will just follow me?

Second is if it does follow me, does the Geofence be updated?

Please indicate any references or manual use or based on personal experience.

Thank you

Yes, the geofence references the take-off position. In Follow Me mode the phone is continually changing that position as you (and it) move, so the geofence moves with you. You must select yourself as the subject before you move or the drone will just keep referencing the take-off point, so your sequence above is not correct. Select Follow Me, draw the box around you, then move 200 meters (or whatever you want).

Thank you for the prompt reply. Can I verify that it’s based on personal experience or from any manual?

Personal experience. The manual does not specifically state that the geofence moves, but it's obvious once you have done a few Follow Me's.

Thanks for the help. Cause I haven’t got the drone yet.
