It is only for the Phantom 3. Why would that be??

its a bit harder to program this. THe I1 is a bigger platform. It is possible that DJI will program it in the future.

It is NOT harder to program other 3rd party software has this and it works perfectly. DJI just not has the balls to let a 4kg platform follow you in low altitude while flying 1,3kg into the ground may cause much less casualties.

Its just excel tables management calculating how many customers get lost because of not having this feature (probably under 1% with inspire) vs risk of liability because of inaccurate altitude calculation and crashes. Honestly if I would be the CEO I would do exactly the same however as a customer of course I oppose this behaviour. Anyway as the way DJI goes is limit n restrictions instead of rock n roll I will support and use 3rd party software and see to get rid of DJI GO-LIMIT.

for what purpose exactly would you want this anyway?  i never let my inspire use any autoflight mode, it cant detect obstacles and you have to constantly adjust RTH height depending on the terrain youre flying, its just too much of a PITA and much easier to just fly it manually.  The gps isnt accurate enough to trust it to auto land unless you have a 30 plus foot flat open space to land on.

As I said for 99% this will not be the big problem. To be honest I also dont have a practical use for follow me at the moment. But if I would live in a flat area without trees and make lot of crazy stuff with friends then maybe I would need it. I just dont like limits n restrictions no matter if i actually need it or not, maybe I need it in future.

I like to chase marlin and sail fish off shore fishing.  It would be really nice to be able to send this up and catch the action of the fight without having to fly also.  When you are trolling you never stop especially with a fish on so this would be at least one quick reason I would want it.

That being said, is it of your opinion that we will see the follow me for the Inspire 1 on the standard app at some point in the future?

I connected to my Inspire 1 and noticed that there was a Follow Me.  Has anyone tried it to see if it works?  I know that it is advertised to only work with the  Phantom 3 but will it work with the Inspire 1 being that it shows up in the app?

The main reason is the fact its too dangerous to have a 6 lb drone flying over the operators or subjects head!

Does anyone know if the follow me feature for the Inspire 1 will be a part of the next firmware update?

Very unlikely. That said, I've used Autopilot and am generally quite happy with it, save for the terrible video breakup, which I'm told may be attributed to DJI's SDK.
