Hi There. my p3s is having an issue with the follow me mode.
When I start follow me mode the drone spins around to face directly to me  

and when I start to walk the drone just sits there and does nothing for about 1 min then just out of no where it takes off and

starts to fly away by its self and wont stop unless I hit the cancel button.
Had my previous p3s get destroyed becasue of this same issue if anyone can help I would appreciate it alot.

Thanks!

What mobile is in use when you fly? Is it an Android system? If yes then do not use <Follow Me> ! The GPS of the mobile tells the P3S the wrong points of GPS and the bird will follow that point.

Try to get Litchi or Vertical Studio and use <active Track> with the P3S. I think the P3S get no Glonas and Gallileo at all,GPS only.

The trick is to use a mobile device that gives you a rock solid GPS location without randomly jumping around.  The other trick is to be sure you, the pilot, are in a wide open area with a clear view of the open sky above you and around you - away from buildings and trees.   Good luck.

Is the iPhone 7 good to use with my drone?

With a Standaard and a Mavic (Go3/Go4) you have a downward compatibility to the iPhone6. You iPhone7 can handle that.
