    Self-Unlocking "so-called" at dji.com/flysafe/self-unlock

    Thanks for the input everyone. I now understand the "PIN" thing. However, I am still getting that red error message saying "The serial number must be in alphanumeric characters only."

    The Drone Gods Do Not Want Me Flying at Torrance Beach

    Thanks all! Will take Marty's advice with the iPhone hotspot, but I did want to try and nip it in the bud before I drove down there again.

    The Drone Gods Do Not Want Me Flying at Torrance Beach

    Copy that. Thanks, you're obviously familiar with the area. There are NO DRONES signs all over the beach, courtesy of LA County Beaches, but my guess is as long as I don't launch or land on the beach I am good to go as far as the City of Torrance is concerned.

    I had the same problem with these knuckleheads. I actually joined the AMA, but sent them a stern letter demanding a refund (which I got).
