Good Riddance DJI’s GEOFENCING - Altitude Test

[@robcameron7632]

Thanks for sharing brother boy. Keep droning... G-day from down-under.

[@DroneFlyingwithUncleBob]

Thanks, cheers from up here!

Happy that you can use the reduced restrictions. Let's hope others won't abuse.

[@DroneFlyingwithUncleBob]

We can only hope.

FWIW, no indication that this works on a Mini 3 Pro or an Avata 2. After all the latest updates, they still max out at 500m above launch in the Safety setting. I did verify with the Avata 2 that I could submit a self defined region unlock request to DJI flysafe with a higher max altitude and if approved, that can be imported into the drone, and activated while in that zone. I used that one in the mountains here this weekend, up to 3000ft.
When you say in the description, the "GEO zone I setup", that sounds like an unlocked zone. Are you sure that one is not still active, giving you this ability?

[@DroneFlyingwithUncleBob]

All my unlock zones were turned off

@@DroneFlyingwithUncleBob Must be a feature of the Mavic 4 then.

[@rubengarciajr7560]

@@daemn420:47 The Mavic 3 and the Air 3, you could slide the max altitute to 3280ft. The Minis and the Avata you can only slide to 1640ft. In the Air 3 and Mavic 3, you would need to be outside an (1640ft altitude zone) to be able to climb to 3280. With the new geozone changes, I think those birds can now go 3280ft anywhere.

@@rubengarciajr7560 yeah i was wondering why my mavic 2 mini wouldnt go past the 1640 ft,im climbing a nearby mountain keeping AGL well below 400ft i was now hoping to get to the top after seeing that mavic 3 have 3280 after the update.Maybe more info will be released soon.

[@daemn42]

@ Gotcha, thanks. The Avata 2 can go higher, but need the self defined zone unlock to do so.

Awesome! 😎👍

[@DroneFlyingwithUncleBob]

Thank you! Cheers!

Sharing with the FAA! Congrats on breaking the law and posting it on the internet!

[@Lobonova]

This is really cool. Do you think a mini 3 can do this?

[@DroneFlyingwithUncleBob]

I’m sure it can. Just make sure you stay under 400 feet above ground level.

[@Lobonova]

@DroneFlyingwithUncleBob ok thank you!

[@DroneFlyingwithUncleBob]

I tested my Mini 3 pro and I was unable to fly above 1,640 feet. Video coming soon.

[@rubengarciajr7560]

@@DroneFlyingwithUncleBob that's interesting, looks like the new geozone changes didn't remove the altitude limit.

[@DroneFlyingwithUncleBob]

@ the altitude limit was elevated for my Mavic 3. Normally, the max altitude was 1,640 feet. Sadly, my Mini 3 Pro’s altitude is still maxed out at 1,640 feet.

[@joeflyer1]

How do you see the drone from 5000 feet away? I can barely see my Mavic Air 2 with strobes at 400 feet.

[@atlesifeyst2185]

you don't. you keep line of sight of the direction of your drone and watch the area around it. kinda hard to hit a plane when you know it's coming unlike the idiots in California that didn't watch and hit the waterbomber.

Drones are a menace

[@fanom1]

The Drone is an inanimate object...the stupid owners are the "menace"

And so are you
