Before the trip I communicated with the CAA and they said it was not necessary for me to register. I assume it’s because I was a tourist. When you get there prepare for lots of geofenced NFZs. Just use common sense where you fly. I was outside Beijing and Shanghai most of the time so could find...

Installed fine, but the DJI app has crashed twice mid-flight. I fly most days and this is the first app problems I’ve experienced.

Just returned a couple weeks ago from a month traveling throughout China and just before returning to the U.S. I crashed my Mavic in Xi’an (one of the oldest cities in China with a population of 12 million). I was flying in the downtown area on my third battery when I decided to do a close LOS...
