I know there were issues with unlocking authorisation zones for the Mavic Mini in 2019 but I would have hoped that this would be resolved by now.
I was in an area today where I have flown numerous times with my Mavic 2 Pro and I have unlocked the zone before. Today with the Mini I was unable to find out howe to do it. I look likje the only option available is to have a laptop with me as the option to unlock on a phone was not available. When will this be fixed? Surely we shoulf be able to do it from within the DJI Fly app??? If it can be done via a PC then there should be no reason not to be able to do it on the same phone we use the DJI FLY app on?

There should be an option in the App,  perhaps reinstall it.

Thanks a lot for your help mate but before I try, are you saying you have seen the option there yourself for the Mavic Mini Specifically or are you just assuming it should be there? I do have the latest updates and firmware so I would expect to see it if it was there. I do get the warning but there is nothing to click on in the app.

When you are in an authorization zone, use the sticks (down and in on both) to try to start the props and it will prompt you to go through the authorization process.

Awesome - thanks a lot mate. Very much appreciated. That looks really nice and easy. I have watched a lot of your videos on YT and have now subscribed as well. Just out of interest... how did you find that out? I did a lot of Googling and came up with nothing I could use here in Australia. Thanks again mate.

Unless I am hand launching (which I do a lot), I pretty much always launch using the sticks.

I think that I am OK now however it would be great if there was some official documentation telling us how to unlock an authorisation zone. There does not seem to be anything.
