Dji mini 4k hacks

[solracnauj1990]

I have a dji mini 4k. It's a new drone and it's quite difficult to find hacks. The 120m limit from the home point makes mountains recording so difficult. Altitude removal would be a legal solution.
If someone can find mods or hacks for the mini 4k please tell, every mini 4k mod is welcome

Hello from the Crossroads of America solracnauj1990.

Welcome to the Forum.

Mini 4k is just mini 2se (with a little more bandwidth afaik to get 4k recordings out)

Please correct me on that statement.

But that also doesn‘t change the fact that it could take a long time for hacks to arrive for this board as its relatively new and they also only sell it in some parts of the world and not worldwide.

Welcome

Why mod it?
I know it is a youngster's thing to do but most of the time it isn't really advantageous with these drones.
Additionally, are you aware of the legal height limits for drones in Spain ?
Given your supposed age, 17, who will get hammered if something goes wrong and you are found to have been flying illegally, you or your parents ? From memory of posts on here Spainish fines seem severe.
500m up stands a fair chance of putting the drone up into strong winds and therefore the chance of it being blown away.

Here, the 120m legal limit means that the drone must be within 120m to the closest terrain point. But for example in mountains I cannot fly to record big waterfalls with the dji 120m limit from the landing point. I only fly in safe places, where there is no people. I will use the fcc only when I have to, but I still haven't used it (except for the test). Btw my age is not a problem because these days I'm not flying it. But if you don't agree or don't like it just leave this thread and continue.

I have read in the past of pilots flying up a mountain, landing and launch again.

This resets the home point and perhaps will help you get to the destination.


We have a similar rule here in the States and have to remain less than 400 feet above the ground.


It's just a hacky idea, but it may work.

It's a great idea! It's very difficult due to terrain reasons but can be a nice alternative.

It's risky, lots of things can go wrong, e.g. no control signal, excessive tilt stopping a motor start, plant material stopping motor starts.
Then there is the fact that the motor restart, if it works, will reset the homepoint to the new launch site and you will have to reset the homepoint manually, if you don't the drone will RTH to the wrong place and the low battery calculation will be flawed wrt a return to you.

Are you sure understand that correctly? In the US, we can fly 400ft AGL (Above Ground Level). That doesn't mean "Home Point." It means we can take off and fly up higher than 400 ft altitude as long as the drone isn't over 400ft above the ground (follow the terrain). But we also have to maintain VLOS (Visual Line of Sight). I hope that is clear.

Yes, the legal limit is 120m to the closest terrain point (it doesn't matter if it's on the side), but the dji limit is 120m from the home point. That's why I'm looking for a hack. I've read and understood the entire normative so there's no problem with it.

I don't know about Spain, but with my Mini 2, I can go into settings and change the maximum altitude to higher than 400 ft. Given the Mini 2 and the Mini 4K are similar in specs, have you checked the settings on the 4K?

 

[djiuser12345]

mini 4k comes with new regulations applied, mini 2 did not have those.
its not possible to go over 120m in EU in official dji fly app

120m is max,
one can go around that by using drone-tweaks app which lets you set 500m instead of the official app.

It basically has a modified country database and switches EU with some FCC country which in turn lets you also set 500m

any other solution is not known to me. my partner has a mini4k and I'm still mad that its obviously O3 but I can't use my RC Pro with it so we have to carry 2 controllers all the time
apparently its the same with mini 4 pro, but I have not tried it.

^^ - that's not cool. Good to know.

Can it not be derestricted, like the mini 4 pro or whatever, and flown as a C1? drone ?
