Is there a way to make the Phantom 4 drone fly away from you - up and away at say a 45 degree angle - and at the same time have the camera constantly aimed at you (without having to adjust the camera angle, as the drone goes up).  In other words, all you would have to do is fly the drone away - and the camera will automatically stay focused on you.

Spotlight mode (under Active Track mode).

Update: Apparently this is different for the P4, so my instructions (for P4P) may not apply.

Litchi ! There everything is possible ;)

On a P4 it is just Active Track - lock on to  the subject, then fly back and up with the sticks.  Camera will stay locked on to the subject and adjust it's angle appropriately.

Ah. Does the software not show the Spotlight option for the P4? It shows 3 more options under Active Track for the P4P.

On the current version, Active Track on the P4 has no sub-menus.

Not having a P4P, I'm not quite sure what is actually missing though since you can still get it into different modes depending on how you use it.

Maybe on the next upgrade it will change to match the P4P?

Ah.! That is good to know. Thank you.
