Mini 4 Pro 120 meter height restriction.

[OldGuy]

I bought my Mini 4 Pro about a month ago and was surprised to find that the maximum height I could fly was restricted to 120 meters. On further investigation I found that prior to the end of 2023 I could have applied to DJI to have the restriction lifted which I find very strange? Now in 2024 I find that on the controller under “Safety” a message which says to “Request Higher Altitude Limit” scan the QR code. Has anyone done this if so would you please let me know if it works ok and if there are any problems etc.

Please clarify 120m height restriction when outside the EU

Hi. I purchased a DJI Mini Pro 4 this week. It is limited to 120m flight height. I am in the UK. If I were to take this drone overseas, not in the EU where these regulations do not apply, would I be able to fly to 500m? Thanks

It is the EU and EASA that has decided that C0-drones can not fly higher than 120 meters from take-off point after January 1 2024.
Here is DJI's explanation:

On a similar subject, I’m now in an EU country and can still fly my mini 3 pro maximum altitude of 500m. Havent needed to put in a request to declassify the drone. Was it only mini 4 pros that it applied to?

As far as I'm aware, it only applies to consumer class drones sold after Jan. 1st 2024 and on the east side of the atlantic

Thanks, thought I would double check, so if a mini 3 pro was purchased after 1 Jan, you’d have to get it declassified through the remote etc?

i'm fairly late to the party, but I bought my Mini Pro 4 at the last day of 2023. Is it too late to have the height limit lifted?

No, you should be able to do that. It's only drones bought on or after 1st January 2024 where it can't be done.
