Very nice, but I saw on the DJI form from Rich (beta tester) the possibilities, great! I thought that the software was release free yesterday for everybody now, I bought all the apps for my IPad AIR2 and iPhone 6 plus (can I use it later, or it is worthless?) so we have to wait, so I hope it does not take too long before we can go this beautiful software testing and use. Many look forward! take it easy, regards

You will be able to use it later when the release comes out, so you did not waste your money. I am a Beta tester as well and I am here to tell you this software is awesome. It probably won't be long before it is out for you.

Test out in windy conditions yesterday of Orbit mode.

)

Richard did you reduce the speed at around 12 sec? Or was it just coming into the wind? Great video.

You picked a beautiful spot to film that. Really nice.

I've been trying various yaw settings etc. has anybody come up with a good combination of setting to get Orbit mode to work smoothly at high speed. My shots don't seem to stay entered, even when there is no wind?

At what velocity would you estimate the wind was blowing?

Thanks in advance...

Yes, beautiful area in Argentina (near Mendoza province).
was expecting horses to be much more nervous , but they were not at all even when I had drone fly lower...

Automatically after disengage, or just when you tap the button in the more menu?

Immediately at disengage, and every time.

We are putting together a list of things that differentiate Autopilot from the competition. What do you think?

We are working on a few tweaks to the algorithm to help address this. Stay tuned.

Super excited for this!

Orbit seems to be improving with the latest adaptive power settings.

I was out flying with Autopilot and found that the program was crashing a fair amount. While it's not difficult to restart the program in flight I also noticed that it has no memory of what mode you were in, which means you have to reset it all.Which takes a bit of time and is a problem when filming. I use an ipad mini 2 which has the A7 chip. Anyone else find this to be an issue.Unless I'm doing something wrong I wouldn't mind - in next upgrade-a more stable platform with an ability to recall what ( flight mode etcetera) mode you were flying in.
