Ever figure out the 3 follow me modes the ANAFI has?

I explain and demonstrate the difference in each.

There is an awful lot of space between rarely and all the time! I use it occasionally, but not rarely. I think it's a a fascinating feature.

I've been playing with the various follow me modes over the last few weeks - one thing that I have faced which I do not understand why it happens, is sometimes the Anafi starts nodding - you can see and hear the drone doing this.

Also when it is doing the follow me trick shot like the orbit, I notice it does not maintain the subject in the center.

I don't know if it is due to me doing this a very low altitudes or close up.

Noticed in the video above, the final shot showed the Anafi not keeping the subject in the centre.

During the spring one of my Anafi's did the nodding during follow me and I could not figure it out either. You could really notice it if the Anafi was just hovering looking at you. Since then we have had a few updates and I also changed out my props and it has not done it since. I am not sure if any of those things corrected it or perhaps a better calibration might have solved it but so far I have not seen it come back but I don't use follow me all that much.

@Agustine exactly, tends to do it while it is actually just hovering and the subject is not moving much - reminds of oscillating in an closed feedback loop system - when the system is over correcting one way then over correcting in the other.

Both the Anafi's I have do it and both are on the latest firmware, one of the Anafi is new - so it was actually calibrated in the area I am testing in (the other has not been calibrated for months!).

You're right and honestly that's right where I fit. I use it occasionally, but I'm always looking for ways to put it to use.
