Honestly.  Why do we not have the SDK yet?  The mini has been out for long enough that there is a mini 2 otw?  There are $100 drones at retail stores which have follow me modes and are capable of mission planning out the box.  If i remember correctly the release date for the SDK was supposed to be April and all we got was a firmware update with overly sensitive paramaters.  Don't get me wrong, i love the mini, but when my cheap Skyviper i bought from Meijers can do more then a $500 DJI drone something isn't right.

SDK for Mavic Mini = Shenzhen ....... will be released sometime in the Summer.......

Even my 199g Zerotech Dobby from 2016 has follow me.

Sorry, but then be happy with the cheap thing. Just because the Mini has no follow me, everybody is claiming now for ages... That was clear from the beginning!!!!!!
