Has anyone developed or are going to develop hardware for the Zenmuse Z15-5D (S1000) with follow me function?
I have a Canon 5Dmk3 installed in the gimbal with two Futaba T14SG transmitters one for flight and one for camera control. If I am by myself filming it is very difficult to track subjects.

I am sorry to tell you that this function is very unlikely to be coming to the Spreadwings series.  Tracking subjects can be tricky but it is very easy once you get the hang of controlling the sticks and certainly something that will come to you only with time practicing.

Thanks for the response, the reason I asked Vertical Al were developing a system but it looks like that they have abandoned the idea. It had a HDMI cable from the camera to the airframe which looked like a problem.
Quite often I fly by myself and my system is set up with two controllers which make it difficult to operate the camera and fly.

I know the feeling.   Not to mention is not very safe either if something were to come up all the sudden.   What part of Australia are you in?

Cool,  I went to Perth a couple of times.   Great place, love Australia.   What do you do there in WA?  Are you an UAV operator there?

I have worked in the industrial construction industry most of my life FIFO and on my week off every 4 weeks I needed a hobby so I purchased some big boy toys. I haven't had time to get my UAV operator certificate yet but I am going to do it soon. I am currently out of work so this would come in handy.
I have been to Canada yet but it is on my bucket list.
