so it was changed from 1000 meters to 500 meters?  thats ... reduced.  lol.

no the limit was 500 now its 1000 mate ;)

No no , it was changed from 500 meters to 1000 meters , so it was increased !!!!

wow that's amazing! not that i will fly over 120m

Yes likewise, loving this change

Excellent news, there's a few cases where I've wanted to climb to 500+ meters up the side of a mountain which would equate to about 150m AGL so p much in legal limits and certainly within common sense safe limits. Nice that they've opened this limit up a little.

It's all about sensible risk management, and I've never understood the obsession with 250-900g consumer drones when eagles, pelicans, and other heavy birds weighing 6, 7, 8 kg are prevalent, with a number of species going over 10kg, which are many orders of magnitude heavier and more dangerous than a 250-900g drone. Never heard of a light aircraft being taken down by a multiple kg bird, the worst I've seen is one bust through a light aircraft windshield. And of course, these birds can obviously fly in and around airports unlike DJI drones. There are 100's of millions of heavier birds flying about at all sorts of altitudes and locations with no care for safety, vs. some thousands of 250g+ drones that spend very little time in the air in comparison to the average bird, and where the vast majority of pilots will be at least loosely following regulations and staying at low altitudes the vast majority of the time. So I sincerely doubt we'll ever hear of a drone causing any sort of light aircraft emergency, let alone a serious injury.

Still glad they have a 1000m limit, otherwise there'd be a few who would try going up several km where there are more planes travelling much faster, where you might have a drone be able to crack a plane windshield or take out even large turbofan engine with a perfectly placed hit. But still nothing that could conceivably cause bodily harm.

That is so true!

Can anyone in the EU confirm if this new update fixes the LED night issue people are complaining about. I'm still on the Pre-C1 FW so I've held off, but this update is just too tempting.

Btw, in most places the altitude limit is still 500m. They have new 500m altitude zones everywhere. I'm guessing where the terrain reaches close to 500 + 120m AGL or above that that there is no 500m altitude zones in these locations. Seems sensible to me.

No it’s obviously set permanently in the app. You no longer have control over the LED.

ok i got it backwards, sorry lmao

Please tell me WAYPOINTS is coming to the Mini Pro 3?

No

Grimtheviking Posted at 11-2 05:44
Yeah looks a really good update with some welcome features but still no WAYPOINTS or SDK...
Thanks Dji, but we are still coming at you for the waypoints or SDK.. hahaaa

What am I missing? Says this update adds waypoints?

djiuser_EEXtim8SFbZ6 Posted at 12-9 12:25

nw, I was also worried , but was pleasantly surprised to see the bump in altitude

Hello! Can anyone confirm that the height restriction in the EU did not drop to 120m after the fw update? Did it rise to 1000 meters there too? Thank you for your answers!

I'm in Norway and it did rise to 1000 meters

Thanks for the waypoints! They were very lacking. Will the hyperlapse option be added to waypoints as well?

It still lacks the ability to program waypoints BEFORE flying, so as not to connect a drone to this moment.

By the way, have you thought about making it possible to use the data of an already made flight so that you can activate it for an automatic re-flight again?

But it's really great - you gave a lot for everyone - this is C1 certificate and Waypoints and range - Mavic can finally be a professional drone, not only in terms of the quality of visual materials.

In Finland - The maximum height remained 500m. Horizontal speed in sport mode is now a maximum of 66 km / h

Bunch of people that swore they wouldn't update because of remote ID now have to decide if they are so committed, they will forgo waypoints. LOL.

A couple of YouTube videos that I watched about the new waypoint feature showed that it was easy to create and plan a mission from home. But it doesn’t appear to be letting me do that without the drone in the air.  If I hit the “+” symbol, a waypoint icon in the planner pops up, but nothing on the map. If I hit the C1 button I get “ aircraft not in flight. Unable to add waypoint“ Not letting me plan a mission from home. on each waypoint symbol in the planner I can specify all the parameters for each point- but I don’t see them on the map.  My ac firmware is 01.00.100. And RC few is 3.01.1200.  anyone else have this issue or has anyone else been successfully able to plan a mission from home?

In the Netherlands i have 500m Altitude Limit with this update.
Bit strange because yesterday after update i got 1000m and now 500...

Nope, no controls for it.

I clicked the Fn button on the RC-N1 then the '+' button a few times then on the map. It sometimes works after trying a few times.

Just ran a quick mission around the House, I can confirm that the waypoints work, I set them up with out the Mavic  being powered on and connected, setting the POI was finicky, but as was described earlier I hit the Fn button and the plus and it finally took. Now to figure out how to keep the camera right on the POI, I think the POI altitude has a lot to do with it, kind of cold out so I may try again next week.

I was able to program my waypoints and set a POI, with out flying or with out being connected to the Mavic 3. I saved the mission went outside fired up the AC and controller connected to my tablet and loaded the WP that I had created and flew the mission.

As long as you know the height of what you want to focus on, you could e.g. use something like this to find gimbal angle on waypoints (vertical distance would obviously have to be relative to the POI).

Nice update

Hi.  Does anyone know when I will be able to fly with the "C1" certificate under the new regulations? Does it already apply? From January 1, 2023? Or only after the transition period?

Just updated the RC Pro and M3, trying test out planning a waypoint mission from home.

A couple of YouTube videos that I watched about the new waypoint feature showed that it was easy to create and plan a mission from home. But it doesn’t appear to be letting me do that without the drone in the air.
At first, I tried hitting the C-1 button and the ”+” button but I get a message that says the aircraft must be in the air to use that. Then I tried tapping on the map.
That does create waypoint icons in the waypoint menu. But nothing on the map itself. So I can’t be sure where the waypoint is.
On each waypoint symbol in the planner I can specify all the parameters for each point- but again  I don’t see them on the map. Which makes it useless since I have no idea where the actual points are, nor could I connect them to a POI, which also doesn’t show up on the map…
My ac firmware is 01.00.100. And RC Pro is 3.01.1200.  DJI Fly app is 1.9

Hey! So the same thing happen to me yesterday. Had 1000m then down to 500 after a restart. but when I got 8 or more satellites connected it went back to 1000m did you check this?  

Is there a specific url to follow the firmware updates (changelog) for a specific drone?
I've been researching for quite a while and the only thing close is to do a search on this dji forum every time.
Would be nice to have some sort of notification subscription for the new updates of a specific drone model.
Please let me know if this already existing somewhere.

Not tested yet. But heard from DJI that there are geo zone circles. If you are inside a circle you got 500m. Did you test that also?

Hi Brian, you have commented on an old post, from the Sept update...
Its confusing when they just add onto the same thread.

BrianKushner Posted at 12-9 18:46

Which is nice, but still not very helpful for mapping. It can help remove the manual flying part of this, however the SDK is what allows 3rd party apps such as dronedeploy to automatically create the flight routes and mapping for you. If you wanted to map an area with waypoints you'd have to manually go in and draw each endpoint, making sure the lines are close enough for photo overlap. For a mapping mission I'm needing to do we'd be talking about adding around 100-200 waypoint spots on the map manually...

djiuser_CgYhBqmxP83j Posted at 11-2 05:33
Oh man, this looks like a great update. I think the biggest complaints left is SDK and waypoints.

Literally says waypoints was added...

I’ve encountered some unexpected behaviour after updating this firmware for my Mavic 3 with DJI RC yesterday. To test the new waypoint functions I sent up the drone to set a series of waypoints and then had it RTH. The RTH had my drone come down six feet behind the launch pad and I had to intervene to keep it from striking  power lines. There was an IMU attitude warning on the RC screen, so I proceeded to calibrate the IMU, changed the battery, and sent it back up to perform the waypoint course with POIs. The recording missed POIs and focused elsewhere. As well, I had recorded some of the waypoints at 7x zoom but they were recorded as 1x zoom instead. I had also set RTH for when it recorded the last waypoint. It then proceeded to aim right into the tower wall of the church I was filming instead of going around it. It braked at the wall but I had to manually steer it home. After the next set of waypoints I set, the RTH flight brought it down on to the power lines and almost crashed.

Yes I was able to do it.  Controller and M3 on and connected.  Pull up local map, tap on map to create waypoints or POI.  Maybe skip the "+" and tap directly on the map instead.

Do you know if this is same limit in all EU countries or just different per country and actual zone you are?

Hello, I have done all the updates: My Mavic 3 firmware is 01.00.1000. The DJI Fly app is 1.9 but the RC-N1 firmware is 04.13.0800 and instead DJI says it must be 04.17.0800. Do you have an explanation? Thank you

You need to update your controller firmware.
