control the zoom, with the right trigger.
When you release the commands in the Follow Me mode, ANAFI USA keeps following you from a
constant distance if you are moving. If you remain in the same position, ANAFI USA stops and stays
focused on you.
To have ANAFI USA stop tracking you, tap the red STOP box at the center of the top bar of the HUD.
When no target is selected, or when the tracking has been ended by the pilot, ANAFI U SA’s behavior
is similar to that of the Manual flight mode.
The Follow Me mode features a series of exclusive Dronies which can be activated as you move, always
keeping you in the center of the frame. For each Dronie, two options are available (they are listed in
brackets):
Dronie options
Orbit (left or right)
ANAFI U SA circles around you in a full 360°.
Parabola (10 or 30 m)
ANAFI U SA flies in an arc over your head, gaining 10 or 30 meters
in altitude and turning 180° at its peak.
Tornado (10 or 30 m)
ANAFI U SA performs a double Orbit around you, one up 10 or
30 meters, the other down 10 or 30 meters, back to its original
height.
Boomerang (30 or 60 m)
ANAFI U SA flies away from you for 30 or 60 meters, with an
ascending angle following that of the starting gimbal tilt, then
comes back to its starting point.
To select a Follow Me Dronie, make sure you are in the Follow Me mode and that ANAFI USA is
tracking you.
Tap the Select Dronie box in the bottom bar of the HUD.
Tap a Dronie to select it. Tap the option you have chosen to activate the Dronie. After 2 seconds,
ANAFI U SA starts moving around you. The corresponding Dronie box fills with green as the Dronie
unfolds.
Important: Activate and monitor the Follow Me mode and each Dronie with care. Always check your
flight plan is clear from obstacles and safe, always retain visual contact with ANA FI USA, and always
be ready to stop the following (tap the STOP box of your HUD) in case a danger or any sort of
unexpected obstacle arises.
Note: To optimize the drone’s tracking, always make sure you remain visible by ANAFI U SA. Do not
let an obstacle obstruct the camera’s view and do not hide in the shadows, or ANAFI USA could lose
track of you.
