[QUOTE="Tom Croley, post: 40227, member: 3843"] I flew 3 more flights today with no problems. 1st I tried some more experiments with the Zipline mode. I placed point A about 30 feet out into the field and point B about 600 feet down the road in front of our house. I used Subject focus with the target set on the operator (me.) After engaging the mission, I walked down the road as the AC flew on ahead. It kept the camera focused on me pretty good considering the heavy cloud cover and poor gps reception today. Then I walked back...repeated twice. So the Zipline follow works pretty good. On the 2nd walk, I left the AC down the road while I walked back. The camera focused on me the whole time. Then I told the AC to return to point A and it did all while focusing on me. Pretty good! Next I tried the same thing with the Orbit mode but chickened out due to the poor conditions. Lastly I flew a whole flight using the cruise mode which is getting to be one of my favorites. The camera follows the subject while you fly the drone around using the sticks. Stick directions are oriented to the operator in the mode I chose so Forward stick always moves the AC away and Back always moves the AC toward you, not matter which way the AC happens to be rotated. Left goes left, right goes right. When you disengage, stick movement is returned to normal. [/QUOTE]
