Spark - Hand gestures can be scary without phone or remote connected.

So I have played with the hand gestures and depending on lighting and clothing color I can get them to work a majority of the time. The scary thing is doing them without your phone or remote connected! Twice now I start the video gesture and wave it away. Now I start walking around and let it follow me for awhile then it looses me. I'll admit I have not read any manuals but there seems to be now way to get it to recognize you again and have it come down. the double arms up to summon it does not seem to work at this point. It does seem that after a short while it will descend where you can grab it.
 
Unfortunately it will only follow you for approx 25 meters off from the starting point. Then it stops and get unresponsive until battery runs out or you connect to it from the remote or phone.
After discovering this limitation I stopped using the hand gesture functions. I certainly hope DJI will remote this limitation.
