I think that sway in the beginning wasnt calibration, I bet it was gain of GPS (GPS point moving around since interference and it tried to follow that spot from your TX) it tried to follow from too close and when it was almost top of you higher, it did the same.. Longer distance that marginal is lower. My quess.. Try around 45 degree angle towards you and enough distance.
i am using drone link with the first DJI mini and the follow feature is fantastic... i really think the problem is not the app. I am riding my dirt bike and it is keeping up with me and is very smooth
@@mr.redlyrics5342go for the mini 3 without a doubt. We are not fighter jet pilots to fly the drone deep inside forests. If the company knows what these influencers know then they would have stopped the sales itself. Most of the drone use is on hill tops and sea views where we hardly find any critical obstacles.
Thanks for the video. so how does the follow me mode works in this app, is that the same as litchi? (mobile signal). so for mini 2 which one you suggest? Litchi or Dronelink?
Hey Dan thanks for the video. Does the dronelink app only work for the rcn1 controller with phone? Or can you download it on the RC Pro since it allows third party apps? Also do you know if dronelink app is compatible with Mavic 3 series as well for follow?
Of course DJI could properly implement this in a heartbeat themselve if they wanted to, let's face the music. As for how things are now with this app, totally useless. But looking forward to hear about an upgrade if this gets at all to become reliable. Thanks for the video and congrats the drone didn't go totally wako and crash.. I will not try it in mine just yet for sure🤭🤭🤭
@Danstubetv thank you for your video, I’ve just purchased the app, but it says on the website it doesn’t work with iOS devices…..how did you do it please ? (I have a mini 3 too) Thank you
My guess is the calculation isn't done fast enough yet in the app. And when there is a delay between the phone location and the drone you get this. It's basically toilet bowl. The GPS is off a bit. But because DJI drones try to correct/prevent toilet bowl it doesn't look quite the same. And it's stupid, but my $130 L109 Pro 'toy' drone does the follow-me perfectly. Smooth and predictable. It has nothing to do with the price.
Yes, you can still use waypoints and a variety of other missions types through the app and on the desktop web app. I will create a waypoints video soon.
Nice video but why on earth did you pick such a distracting environment to begin the follow me test? A nice simple clear line of sight area would have been much better to begin with to see how the app worked before putting it through its paces. After watching the video there is no way I would trust this app to control my drone. Keep the videos going I do like them.
Hi @@DansTubeTV - I’m considering mini3 due to budget constraints. I only need follow ne & waypoints features of mini pro series. Please advise if either of these are reliable now if I use drone link app. It’s been over half a year since this video so am hoping that you confidently say yes! I might need to head out for a purchase tomorrow so a quick response would be a life saver. Thanks in advance, mate!
It’s not even that. It’s the fact that he sent the drone very far away from him and expected it to keep track of him when from what I see, his body is small like a pebble. He stretched the drone to its limits and expects phenomenal activity out of a $500 drone.🤦🏽♀️

Great idea, I will have to test this again.
In fact, you must admit, you are a master at flying drones
I try 😉
@@DansTubeTV Yes

It is fine with older drones, I believe that the issue is the third party support with the newer drones on DJI’s end.
@@DansTubeTVi need answers I'm planning to buy dji mini 3 the normal one is there a warning whe u to close to object?
The Mini 3 does NOT have obstacle avoidance. Get the Mini 3 Pro: linktr.ee/danstubetv

Awesome information and tutorials. Big up man
Thank you!
Thanks for the video Dan don’t think I would be able to trust that app with my mini 3 pro
No, definitely not yet 😔
Dans is it possible if I order from your end send to Ghana west Africa.
I don’t believe so.
Awesome❤❤❤drone dji
Thanks for the video. so how does the follow me mode works in this app, is that the same as litchi? (mobile signal). so for mini 2 which one you suggest? Litchi or Dronelink?
They both work extremely well with the Mini 2. The Mini 3/Pro does not work that well due to limited support through the SDK.
Hey Dan thanks for the video. Does the dronelink app only work for the rcn1 controller with phone? Or can you download it on the RC Pro since it allows third party apps? Also do you know if dronelink app is compatible with Mavic 3 series as well for follow?
You can download Dronelink on the RC Pro and it will work. The Mavic 3 Series is not supported.
What android device are you using with Dronelink? I need to buy something for my mini pro 3 and am asking around. Thanks!!
I’m using the Vivo Y33s.

Thanks for your comment. Hopefully the app integration for the Mini 3 Series is optimised by Dronelink over the coming months.
What DJI drone would you purchase to use DRONELINK follow me mode. I currently have Mavic mini? time to upgrade
There aren’t many of the newer drones that support DRONELINK. The DJI Air 2S could be a good upgrade!
Hi Dan, is it work better now for the mini 3 with that follow me mode? I’m considering of buying the mini 3 tomorrow.
No, the software has not improved unfortunately.
Does the follow me mode with this app work with the DJI mini 3 that does not havec the follow me in the DJI app?
It does work but still not 100% reliable.
It almost looks like it being observant or extra coutious
Yeah 😧
@Danstubetv thank you for your video, I’ve just purchased the app, but it says on the website it doesn’t work with iOS devices…..how did you do it please ? (I have a mini 3 too)
Thank you
I tested the Mini 3 Pro with an Android device. I don’t know if it is compatible with iOS yet.
Hi Dan? Does the drone link still have issues with Follow me mode ? I got the normal RC controller and mini 3 would the Follow me mode work ?
Yes 😞 Still not reliable.
My guess is the calculation isn't done fast enough yet in the app. And when there is a delay between the phone location and the drone you get this. It's basically toilet bowl. The GPS is off a bit. But because DJI drones try to correct/prevent toilet bowl it doesn't look quite the same.
And it's stupid, but my $130 L109 Pro 'toy' drone does the follow-me perfectly. Smooth and predictable. It has nothing to do with the price.
Hmmm, that is interesting. Hopefully something changes soon for the Mini 3 Series with Dronelink.
Can this be used with the controller with a screen??
No, not the DJI RC. The DJI RC Pro can.
Hi Dan does it still run the autonomous missions ???
Yes, you can still use waypoints and a variety of other missions types through the app and on the desktop web app. I will create a waypoints video soon.
Hi does mini 3 comes with follow mode or not??
No
Not out of the box but you can use third party apps. They are not supported 100% at this stage.
ur app support mini 2 se or not..
Unfortunately not 😢
@@DansTubeTV😰
all the best for you dear
🙌🚀
It loses sight of you that’s why it does the wobble.
It should not do that in follow mode.
Think I'll stick to dji follow mode, lol. 😁👌👍 🇬🇧
That is active-track, optical. Completely different. Great feature, but it can lose you.
There is no follow mode or active track on the mini 3, just the mini 3 pro
No Dronelink for me
What are you waiting for?
Always wear a helmet when testing drones.
Yes 🪖
That's a bit sporadic
Agreed 😔
What about waypoints ? is that usable at all?
I believe so. I will upload a video to my channel soon to showcase waypoints 📍

The follow me mode is still unreliable. I hope that they resolve the issues soon. Thanks for watching 👀

If you want reliable following modes and waypoints through Litchi or Dronelink then the Mini 2 or Air 2S are your best options.
It’s not even that. It’s the fact that he sent the drone very far away from him and expected it to keep track of him when from what I see, his body is small like a pebble. He stretched the drone to its limits and expects phenomenal activity out of a $500 drone.🤦🏽♀️
Sadly, it’s not iOS compatible. I’ll stick with DJI Fly.
Good plan 👍
Maybe you need to move faster
Maybe 🤔
Looks totally USELESS!
Yes 😞
Dronelink it's tottaly crap
With the Mini 3/Pro but with other drones it is great!
