I'm using an iPhone XS but that shouldn't really matter since self-unlocking a blue zone has to be done on a PC. I'm confident it was a browser issue. Why, I have no idea. But going from Chrome to Firefox fixed it for me.

Just wanted to give everyone an update. DJI support replied and told me to put in a custom unlocking request on their website. This was a lot more time consuming but I did it anyway. They rejected the request a few minutes later. I then tried the self unlocking site on a different browser and it...

But that can sometimes be open to interpretation and DJI in wanting to keep customers happy and maintain a good reputation will give them the benefit of the doubt.

Several people on the DJI support forum had their MM replaced for free without DJI Care Refresh. But like Thomas said, it’s probably decided on a case by case basis with the most heavily weighted factor being whether it was a DJI malfunction or pilot error...

That's a very good question and a good point. I was playing with fire there as clearly the RTH path went over the lake. Does anyone know if there's a way to modify the RTH path? I.e., make the return path line go over land instead of a lake?

I do this every few days but today I can no longer unlock the blue zones that I like to fly in. I get to the point where it asks for my mobile #, I enter it, click send and it starts the little countdown like it usually does. But at about 21 seconds, it comes back with the following error...

I'm surprised by these responses. From what I've read elsewhere, DJI issues free replacement Mavic Minis if you're able to recover the damaged one and send it to them...

Thanks for the tip, I'll try that mode next time out. The drone is tracking Boone with the aid of two GPS devices that are 4G LTE enabled.

Thanks man, here’s the video:

Can you answer the question?

Expected or unexpected, it doesn’t change the fact that you guys need to find more constructive things to do with your time.

Nothing special about the distance reached? DJI advertises a maximum range of 2.1 miles under ideal conditions. This was nearly 3X longer. The next longest flight I’ve seen for a MM (without serious modifications) was 18K feet and change. This was about 14-15K feet longer. Again, nobody cares...

So every time you’ve flown a drone you’ve had VLOS at all times? If not, doesn’t that make you (and the others) a hypocrite?

Yessir, it’s my own proprietary tracking system utilizing GPS and 4G LTE enabled devices.

I never said they don’t apply to all SUAVs, what I said is from a safety standpoint they don’t care about a small 8oz toy. They’re concerned about much larger, heavier drones which can actually do harm to the public. So you and all the other drone nazis in this thread are gonna sit there and...
