Personally I have never experienced the logout issue, but clearly others are. What I find most concerning is, if this is taking place across-the-board for all DJI models, it could potentially render every DJI drone unusable. Hypothetically, were DJI to fold or the servers be shut down, then eventually all DJI aircraft would log out & become grounded. I don't expect DJI to fold, but this is certainly an alarming & reasonable concern which DJI should address.
With the lack of any real response and differing answers from mods on here and contact directly online we are no nearer to knowing why or the reason for this happening.
For 8 years or so flying drones was pretty simple you charged it up went to a location and flew. Now with NFZ fly safe etc dji are moving the goalposts as the go without informing anyone why how or when they will enforce something new on their drones now belonging to us that will greatly hinder us from flying.
Firstly this monthly sign in has not being my experience , its more erratic than that, when I first seen not logged in I presumed I was not logged into my online dji account IE: the account that allows me to post on here which I have never signed out of, wrong, I was signed out of my flying account an account I never signed up for, unless in some very small print when activating some new equipment and I have no information about this account whether its part of my “normal” account or something dji created without consulting me or anyone else. But now they have full control over when and how I fly my drone, I say how I fly my drone because when you’re not logged in they very graciously will allow you to fly max 50m distance and max 50m height “how kind of them”
As others have said its very frustrating embarrassing and debilitating, its not always so simple to tether to hotspot on your phone particularly if as many might find themselves in locations without sufficient Wi-Fi , if this happens thats it you don’t fly that day and dji has exercised what it thinks is its right to render the drone you paid good money for useless.
You asked about all drones, It’s my thinking its more about the controller than the drones, with my Mavic 3Pro I use RC Pro and the problem is ongoing , I haven’t had a problem with mini 3p or air 3, I also still own a phantom 4 pro with normal remote and fly an old matrice 600 with crystalsky without any problems. So while I’m not 100% sure I think it might be coming from the RC Pro, but believe that DJI won’t stop at just that remote so one could expect it to come to other devices as they are rolled out.
I can be anywhere in the world and I will get dji notifications for this forum that a question post has been replied too , IU constantly get notifications from dji for every product the sell for sales for their you tube channel etc, so why can dji not notify me that my “flying account” will be signed out in 3/5/7 days and I need to sign in if I want to fly.
I think this is just another ill thought out idea dji had and felt no need to inform users or notify them when purchasing equipment that unless signed into an account you never signed in or out of they dji will now be controlling your drone and how and when you fly it.
It would be good to get the official notice as to what remotes/drones will be affected “why” and how this matter can be resolved so as users will not get caught short whether professionals enthusiasts or general users. I think this is part of a bigger plan for the future and that is slightly worrying, I think we might see dji drones in the future will not be allowed to fly unless you use their remotes , no more iPads phones or third party devices. |
