Hello all,

I know, touchy subject. Why would you need to disable it?! Well I work for a very large airport here in teh U.S. and we are looking at ways to use UAVs at the airprot for various work activities including aerial vdieos and photos of the runways and wildlife mitigation. Now before anybody starts saying it aint possible, it is. We have already done some work using them in the past but are looking at new manufactureres and DJI seems promising except for their 1.5 mile restriciton at airfields. I already emailed them two weeks ago and have yet to recieve any reply. So Is there a way to get around the GEO restrictions placed on us by the compnay's firmware? I also work daily with AirMap and have recieved some good information from them on this front.
-Thanks!

This aint possible unless you go to teh dark side compnay's and not DJI....seriously if you want to sneak around and do things around airports with a drone, i would build my own or a kit etc. with FPV goggles and not a DJI device....am i reading your post correctly?

Not exactly. I am not sneaking around at all. i work at the airport and have full access to any part of the airport I choose. This includes shooting shotguns, rifles and handguns anywhere on airport property. I am just looking at ways to use a drone and it seems DJI doesn't work well with us even though we have full authority.

Looks like building our own will have to happen.

From what i have read here i don't think they will give an inch/mm. Someone might know different so hang on for others to think about it.
You could get a DJI Mavic? that had not been updated to the newest firmware and just keep ignoring the updates all the time. You cannot flash back once the newest has been flashed.

More than likely, you will have to "downrev" your AC firmware, and your DJIgo4  App.
You want .700 or lower on the AC ( I find .400 perfect for myself). No NFZ, no gimbal resets, and no distance restrrictions.
If you search for "Digdat0" on youtube, you will find instructions to down rev to any level of firmware DJI had out for the Mavic (even sweet .400) for the AC and the DJI go4 app.
