Surely I don't need to wait for the Flysafe firmware update to be able and unlock my Mavic Mini... to be able and fly my Mini indoors... IN MY OWN HOME!!!????
I live 100 m within an Authorizarion Zone...????! It seems utterly ridiculous I cant fly my mini in my own home because I live within an Authorization zone.  

Is there some way, or work around, to turn off the GPS?


Thanks D2

Its not against the law for you guys to unlock these drones now or before they started shipping.  Its against the law for the user to fly the drone in a zone where its not allowed to fly.  There's a big difference.  It would be like saying that Ford wont let you drive your car because you might drive it drunk.  Or the company that makes your kitchen knife set not selling them anymore because you could cut yourself or someone else with them.
Its the responsibility of the end user to abide by the laws in the country they live in.

The problem we have here is that DJI has decided that they would be the enforcement agency for the various governments around the world.
Here in the USA if the congress passes a law that requires ALL of these drone manufacturers to impose the FAA limits on flying then they would be required to do so. But that's not the case YET!  This is a decision that DJI has made.

The reason we have the Mavic Mini at all right now before the software was even finished is one simple reason.... the Christmas shopping season!!!!  They had to get this drone on the market ASAP before the Christmas shopping season!  Its strictly a marketing decision.  I get it, they want to sell them, but there will be a larger % of disappointed buyers because of this decision and they knew this. Apparently they calculated that it would be worth it.

Thanks. I’ll give it a try. Fingers crossed they update soon. If the tinfoil doesn’t solve it, I’ll cross the street and see how accurate is the Authorization Zone on the DJI Fly app.

I have a Mavic Pro and I have the same problem. It used to send me an authorization code and I´d be able to unlock it easily. I lost a job yesterday because of it, I was going to film a soccer game and I couldn´t this is what showed up. I´ve been researching and I can´t get any straight answers. Help!

I am curious on what should I do when DJI has decided something in my country is NFZ even though there is no law restriction there, in the area....
No support option on dji page, no nothing. I guess my only option is to look for custom firmware....

Joke on me for choosing chinese company for products, can't work like this
