    New pilot concerned about geofencing

    Correct, must refuse Craft updates until DH supports that new version... which probably won't happen since DJI closed that hole for certificates. Although, you welcome to update the Fly App... I'm on newest iOS and Android version with no issues. I use with other Crafts that lack the DH hack...

    Is it time to switch to DJI because of a lack of support?

    You'll enjoy the Air2S and Mini 3 Pro. Hope ya have a fun time! You are correct, most apps both IOS & Android are based on the OS 64 bit architecture. That isn't necessarily the Apps causing, it's more the OS and new programming requirements. Both Air2S and Mini 3 have fixed Aperture, you'd...

    Is it time to switch to DJI because of a lack of support?

    All I'm saying... the chatter of doing a Legal Suit on a Forum has gone overboard. There is no uniting when there isn't a case. The legal perspective isn't productive... whom ever wants to pursue then do it... it's not on the forum! It doesn't help Owners with their crafts or Autel making a...

    Is it time to switch to DJI because of a lack of support?

    I understand the frustrations, but there is NO... Zero legal case! There is a difference... but if ya feel ya want to a file suit, it's not here on a forum. Then Pursue it legally, pay out legal funds... and see where it goes. Good Luck.

    Is it time to switch to DJI because of a lack of support?

    Anyone can file a suit... doesn't indicate justified or a legal win. I fail to see the legal standing for a suit... currently it's frustrated Buyer(s) & developing product(s). Where has there been cause of justified legal action? Purchase was made, product may not be 100% as expected, where in...

    Is it time to switch to DJI because of a lack of support?

    The BBB doesn’t force any company behavior or response, it’s primarily a data collection of complaints or various action filings. They do have some latitude on legal practices, but that doesn’t apply to Autel. In the situation of Autel, I don’t see any business practice that would merit an...

    Is it time to switch to DJI because of a lack of support?

    If you're considering Yuneec, that may be a few steps backwards. Yuneec has been suffering for several years. I had the Tornado H920, still have the Typhoon H480 & H520. The Radio is extremely short range and getting everything fired up & connected to fly can often be a chore. The H480 & H520...

    New pilot concerned about geofencing

    Felt the same, for years had no issue. Provide Credit card, setup profile and any time in future was a quick few clicks and all set.. Over time and app updates, became more problematic... some short... some so delayed it ruined the mission schedule. Got so frustrating, Why even need to deal...

    New pilot concerned about geofencing

    I've agreed with you... that would be an option for the Professional. But as in post above.... that won't work for sections or areas that are indicated as unlockable by DJI... and by their data not FAA. Currently there are many areas you can't get unlocked now with requests that have no reason...

    New pilot concerned about geofencing

    yep... used those too... but not always successful. It's dependent on the accuracy of the DJI database... not FAA but DJI data. That effects many areas as cities develope and modify. If there is an Old Jail, Prison, Old Airport or area that is in the DJI Database, you can't get a short or long...

    New pilot concerned about geofencing

    Lol... that was just another example to prevent idiots creating a bad name for drone environment. We wouldn't have any additional regulations now if it hadn't been previously abused by being unrestricted. We had some self imposed regulations with older RC aircraft... sanctioned airfields, etc...

    New pilot concerned about geofencing

    I'd agree... Indicated that above... have DJI offer with a sign-off of legal responsibility & liabilities. At least make the Unlock quick & simplistic. Only issue, as with Bell helmets and several gun manufacturers as example that had liability clauses... that sign-off didn't work and...

    New pilot concerned about geofencing

    I’m a strong supporter for manufactures NOT to self impose flight restrictions of any sort… unless ALL participate & perform the same… voluntarily or govt requirements. None or All… but that won’t happen mainly due to market share & liabilities. Similar to 1950’s Auto manufactures adopting...

    Cold Weather Enclosure and walkable - UnderTheWeather WalkingPods

    Great tips! I have tried several gloves... touch screen and finger cut-out flip ups. None are my preference, I normally remove gloves during flight which is my problem & cold. But always looking for a great pair... I'll check those out! I do use a high wattage hand warmer, and they've been...
