haha, this is all too funny, but it was only a matter of time.
put quads in the hands of monkey, and monkeys then make the news. the news makes drones look bad. bad press attract public backlash, authorites have to act. manufacturers need to keep selling their drones so restrictions get tighter and tighter.. freedom of flying anywhere is slowly dying..
its starts now with geo authorisations
next all our flights will be logged and sent to dji.
dji will hand this to the aviation authorities , then after a time of data mining and sorting they will see where everone is flying.
from this point the next step will be all dji pilots have to log a flight plane before your can start your engines..
its all inevitable.  
its the monkeys you see on youtube flying at excessive altitude, idiots flying into the white house, that are killing the hobby for everyone..
but dji wants to put a drone in everyones hands well this can only get worse.
its only a matter of time before someone does the unimaginable and brings a plane down and then hobby drone flying will be a thing of the past..
it will all become regulated and commercial pilots will be the only ones allowed to fly them.
moral of this rant... enjoy your flights of freedom while it last.. cause sooner or later drones will no doubt become illegal for private use like laser pointers!
safe flying amigos!

No one says you have to take the firmware updates.

That will be incorporated too.

Not if you never let it hit the internet. Of course all of your flight logs won't be updated either. But if you are dead set on not updating, then your flight logs are the least of your worries. Besides, there are ways around it. I'm not concerned. I am on 1.4 and plan to stay there.

Rebel Posted at 2016-1-3 18:22
I was basically talking about those who are already beyond the point of no return. Im 1.4 also and ...

Well, yeah. I am also on 1.4 and I am considering selling it once the inevitable happens. I figure a bird still on 1.4 in pristine condition will maximize my profit.

But for the ones who have already taken the newer updates the future looks bleak at this point. I have even dissected the firmware code (although without a lot of uninterrupted time) and I haven't yet found the section of code that prevents downgrade by 1 revision. Give me enough kid-free time and I will find it though.

I have taken every new firmware update and Go app improvement since day one.
I can still remember the awesome day, when Pilot became Go. So much fun...

There should be another good one, any day now... ;-)
Being on old firmware is so, yesterday... Get with the current times, boys and squirrels...

No firmware update = No warranty. If you don't do the updates and something goes wrong then the warranty won't be honored.

Wow,
Some funny $hit here and some not so funny $hit here...
Red and Rig,
Where abouts a in Canada are you?
I am in the lower mainland in BC if you are in the area...
Remember 1812...Maybe we should hook up at a Tim's to discuss strategies, it should not take more than a minute as it sounds like someone wants a do-over!..

Yes, I can't disagree, the whole picture of the drone publicity looks pretty bad now... Also i'd kindly ask you and other folks not to use bad language on a forum!
Thanks!

I posted a thread of my forum Sig, and he asked if my RC collection was a wish list. Hahaha

So I posted pics, and he fuc*ed off to his moms house, and hid behind her pleated polka dot Hutterite skirt. Hahaha
He likes her First World War army boots...

Yes, we all ask nicely, then it gets out of hand, without your mature adult supervision.
Perhaps some time off, will help them get a grip on the foul tongue. ;-)

A month of away time, will help those hot heads cool the heated jets too. Hehe

I just quench mine in an oil bath.

Red and Rig,

We're in Edmonton Alberta Bro. Close enough to pass notes across the fence. Hahaha

Keep your eyes wide open, for any insurgence and them evil looking drone pilots... ;-)

Yes, several of us should hook up next summer for a drone party... Yee haw...!!

Sorry Tim. That guy regularly posts garbage. I think it is just to get a reaction. Unfortunately, I caved in and gave it to him. My apologies
