Hi, thank you for bringing this query to us and we're sorry for the trouble. We don't have the authority to bypass the GPS since it will against the law. Also, We will release the new aircraft firmware and DJI Fly in late December to add support for the unlocking function. Please stay tuned for firmware and app update release notices. Thank you for your understanding and support.
That's not true. Its not against the law for you guys to unlock these drones now or before they started shipping. Its against the law for the user to fly the drone in a zone where its not allowed to fly. There's a big difference. It would be like saying that Ford wont let you drive your car because you might drive it drunk. Or the company that makes your kitchen knife set not selling them anymore because you could cut yourself or someone else with them.
Its the responsibility of the end user to abide by the laws in the country they live in.
The problem we have here is that DJI has decided that they would be the enforcement agency for the various governments around the world.
Here in the USA if the congress passes a law that requires ALL of these drone manufacturers to impose the FAA limits on flying then they would be required to do so. But that's not the case YET! This is a decision that DJI has made.
The reason we have the Mavic Mini at all right now before the software was even finished is one simple reason.... the Christmas shopping season!!!! They had to get this drone on the market ASAP before the Christmas shopping season! Its strictly a marketing decision. I get it, they want to sell them, but there will be a larger % of disappointed buyers because of this decision and they knew this. Apparently they calculated that it would be worth it. |
