blue circle

error

One thing that jumps out at me is your battery is only 61% charged.  You must fully charge before any flight.

Are you in beginner mode?

Are you in an airport warning zone?  

I get thee 2 warnings every time I start a flight. Why, I don't know.  I just ignore them and everything works fine.

Nice RC skin. ;-)

I too have had the same warnings a couple of times and have had my flight reduced to those limits.

Each time was solved by closing the Dji go 4 app (after landing of course) and restarting the app. I also sometimes use other control software and have never had these warnings.

Hmmmm.... Whats the issue? Is your set-up complete with all batteries 100%. Is your wifi solid.....(no interference from home wifi, turn home off) Are your menu setting in GoApp good? reset them if you must. Watch some basic set-up video's on youtube. Just don't crash it trying to learn..... go slow

just noticed your skin photo.....  It says "update needed" go get it.

not in beginner mode i did controler update no change fully charged battery  no change uninstalled dji go4 app and reinstalled no change WHAT IS THE BLUE CIRCLE OVER my House

Probably a 50 meter range from your homepoint

That's what I assumed as well.  But doing some bar napkin calculations, I came up with more like 150-175 meters for that circle.  Maybe that's not a regulation tennis court though in the upper left.  Might not even be a tennis court at all, but I don't know what else it would be.  Perhaps the people that live there are nudists and need a smaller tennis court.

Yeah, on second look, I don't think there's any way the ring is 150m, just eyeballing it compared to the houses.  Dunno what that court is that I was using for measurement.

but why now a week ago no issues  
and what happens if i go farther

You need to move.

If you try to go farther it won't let you.  Unless the error message is just a malfunction and you're not limited at all.

Have you tried logging out of the DJI Go app and logging back in again?  I thought the P3's had the distance limitations added too, when you're not logged in.

LOL Irate,  gotta be a nudists court,, hence the drone

Yes, hence the drone.  It might also explain why he's so eager to go outside of that blue circle!

After taking some more detailed looks at the image, I'm going to stand by my original estimate of 150m though.  I can't clearly make out the railroad rails, but we can use the yellow home point compared to the red aircraft arrow.  On-screen display says it's currently 33ft away, which I assume is the distance between those two points.  That would make the radius of the blue circle about 500ft, about 150m.

What I don't get is why is the blue circle centered on his driveway rather than the home point???

OP-  Maybe your nudist neighbors got tired of your antics and submitted your address as an unpaved airport location?  I have no idea.

I had a similar problem with my P3P and only way I solved it was to do the update. BUT had usual problems including the lack of image from camera to iPad after upgrade (in my case removed SD card, restart etc). After all that ended up stacking craft (not related to upgrade but bad flying). BUT ended up with brand new P4P which I am attempting to coax into co-operation.

The big blue circle is usually defined on gps systems as an approximate location in other words you are somewere inside the blue circle thats known as an error factor for example your at this location plus or minus 50 mtrs in any direction

The blie circle should not hinder your flight in any way what so ever just make sure before you take of that your home point is set correctly

Thanks for the help after talking to dji support and he confirmed all my stuff is up to date he said log out of the app and log back in during mid flight and errors will go away but i have to do this every flight what i dont understand is why

Hope it's addressed in next FW update. Very annoying.
