I was told (by a DJI person I think, never sure) in another forum that it has the same restriction as the P4 - so no. Same appears to apply to Terrain following, but that was unclear.

I am with this guy ^^^^. In the promotional video they talk about that and show a hiker going up the hill with the Mavic in tow. I would assume it can deal with downhill also. How well will be the question.

Per the RCgroups forums someone emailed DJI and received the following response to following downhill:

Wow... looks like the terrain follow feature only works going uphill. I hope they come out with an update to allow it for downhill as well. seems pretty useless. I asked this question to DJI and got this response

Thank you for contacting DJI Technical Support.

We are excited about giving you info about the newest Mavic.

The terrain follow feature though, is only applicable to adjust for uphill follow. Downhill follow is not added yet. Hopefully in the near future.

Thank you for choosing DJI.
Best Regards,
Jenny
