I had my Mavic stolen last week while I was on vacation.
I was wondering if DJI can block my drone by its serial number on next updates.
Or... if they can track if the flight data is uploaded to the servers via app.

I thank you in advance.

Tiago.

We are sorry to hear tyour drone was stolen and you must be very frustrating, but unfortunately the drone cannot be locked by serial number at the moment. You may try to contact local authorities for further assistance, they may help to find the drone.

I totally agree. Can we link user with serial and lock the drone.
Also I can imagine they won't use the drone according to regulations.
That alone can be really bad and dangerous.

In the future only a valid user of the serial should be able to use the drone. 4 digit pin before every take of

Police reference number is a way to massage the Police's sense of they have done their job. Nothing will come of it untill the dooshbag who stole ot dopes something stupid with it and they come knocking at your door.

Come on, why is this still not integrated in the system? DJI drones cost even more than iPhones. Make it happen.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, we don't have an option to block via serial number if it was stolen to the owner, however, we will forward your suggestion to our team for consideration. Thank you for continued support.
