Hi, guys!
Does anybody tried to follow one drone by another drone in "Follow me" mode? Is it possible to organize a drone swarm of 3-5-10 drones with "Follow me" modes that fly one by one?
Regards!

You could always do a litchi mission that works fine.

I'm guessing that's what this guy did, and I have to admit that it's a really fun video to watch:

Follow the Leader

Yeah he's done a few of them, it's easy enough set up, I done some small Flybe with P4 and P4 pro, with the long evenings will try with Mavic and P4 pro.

OMG!  please dont try it,  if the first drone does decide to go walkabout, guess where all the rest will end up ! !      LOL  ,  imagine the care refresh report when 5 or 10 drones all followed each other into a tree or worse.

If I remember correctly, this guy is also wanted by the cops in the area.  There were some ugly quotes from the Chief or Mayor, don't remember all the details.  It isn't a follow situation either, I don't think.  I think they were programmed the same route and started at the same time with a little vertical separation for safety.

I send my mavic for repair (jello effect),  when it will return home I'll mark my P4 with orange sticker and will try to follow phantom by mavic. I'll post my results here anyway .

I don't remember for sure, but I know I got the impression that's what it was (or at least something similar).  Look on his youtube channel.  Seems like he explains it somewhere there.  There are several videos.
