So here's something interesting. I thought, oh we'll never need the Follow Me function on the I1, so it's no big deal it's disabled. However, just yesterday I was trying to shoot video of a couple walking in a park. The director didn't want a shot real high so the people looked tiny but Waypoint wouldn't let me program in points under 32' so that wouldn't work. Plus, the people were walking at a normal pace and, as you know, with the power of the Inspire motors, going very slowly manually is nearly impossible, especially while trying to keep two people center in the video and following them on a winding path. Follow Me would have been helpful, especially if it worked under 32'.
So, DJI, are you following us...ADD Follow ME to the I1 in the next firmware upgrade and give us professionals some credit, we're not stupid, let us use this and Waypoint under 32' in height. We'll be careful and not hit anything. I'm not going to risk our $3,000 quad copter for one shot but if I don't get some of the shots the director wants, he'll be asking for a different quad copter!
