I'm not justifying it, just explaining DJI's position on their DJI geo fencing system and why people shouldn't expect them to drastically change it any time in the near future. We can all want 100% freedom to make our own choices on where our drones fly, but the fact of the matter is that we all bought into products that work a certain way.
In your Toyota scenario, if you bought it knowing full well it had that system built into it, then you voted with your wallet to go along with it just like we have all done thus far with DJI and buying their drones with a built in geo-fencing system.
I get it. I I don't think that you're defending / justifying. I agree that it seems that they're being overly cautious at the expense of their products.
I would say that, myself and many others, were not aware of these limitations at the time of purchase. There was no effort made by DJI to inform the customer. There was no disclaimer or notice on the box or product page.
In fact, the only hype was around pushing the 249g point and implying the freedom of it...
Just really sad, because I can't vote with my wallet now that it's no longer refundable. I think that people rightfully feel ripped off.
I still think that it's an amazing piece of hardware and the value is there - I'm not in the camp of demanding features / capabilities that were never promised, like full manual controls, RAW capture, active tracking, etc. That makes total sense to me to have limited to some extent.
I'm truly impressed by what the little drone can do, and am excited for the possibilities it presents! |
