The point he is making is the total restriction is onerous & rather ridiculous. Let's say it limited altitude to 10 meters. Let's face it, any manned aircraft flying at 10 meters has a lot bigger problem to worry about than a small drone.
Yes I got the point, but it can't be a surprise feature for a DJI owner/buyer... If it is, then someone has really neglected their homework.
There are no such things, nor should there be, as "you can fly a little" -zones. The legislation is usually yes-or-no and that's a good thing so there's no grey areas.
It should be pretty obvious why f.e. airfields are geofenced. It's a great precaution AND it prevents inviduals, who should have nothing to do with drones in the first place, to do their mischiefs somewhere else. DJI is doing us all a favor by implementing forced geofencing so it limits said sorry-ass inviduals of ruining this great hobby/job from everyone.
It should also be obvious why military bases, jails, other authoritary areas, big corporate areas etc. usually are no-fly zones and OP said he's living near a military airbase -> double no-no.
Limiting altitude to X in red zone, could theoretically allow low altitude espionage and other misconducts as well as opening the possibility of something going *TILT* and a runaway drone hurdling through a busy airport runway. The easiest prevention is to ground the craft at no-fly zones.
The second thing are the technical limitations, like I said previously, the drone has no way of knowing if it is inside or outside, so DJI literally can't allow you to fly inside while in no-fly zone.
I'm in no way a DJI fanboy or a rule-lover, but I do realize why everything can't always be made to satisfy everyone.
