Follow Me GPS & Visual
tracking
N.B. : Follow Me GPS & Visual tracking is compatible with the Parrot Bebop 2.
Before using the tracking modes, ensure that your smartphone has a working GPS.
To make the most out of using auto follow, your smartphone must have a barometer,
especially for Climb Mode (altimetric tracking).
Follow Me GPS & Visual tracking is available to purchase directly within the FreeFlight Pro
app. You have 15 days for free to test the Follow Me GPS & Visual tracking option.
Before using the auto follow option, ensure that you are in an open space.
N.B.: if you use two smartphones with two different OSs, you must buy the option twice
so that it works on both smartphones.
Auto follow and auto framing work thanks to a visual recognition algorithm on the
smartphone. This algorithm is demanding in terms of hardware resources for the
smartphone. It it therefore possible that these options may not be entirely functional on
certain less powerful smartphones.
Auto Follow
In auto follow mode, your drone uses visual recognition coupled with GPS tracking
technology and the barometer, which allows it to accurately adapt its position in real time to
keep you in the frame.
N.B.: if your phone is not equipped with a barometer, the drone maintains its altitude during
auto follow.
When you are in auto follow mode, you can use your smartphone to over-correct your drone.
The drone will respond to the commands received (ascend, descend, move forward, etc.),
while continuing to follow the subject.
