I live in Perth and I've just taken my 4-month old MPP on a trip away from home for the first time. At home I've flown it as high as 105m above ground and as far away from the RC as the signal strength permitted (around 1500m). I've flown over 40 "missions", totalling over 5 hours. The mobile device I use is my just-before-current mobile phone, with no sim and bare-minimum apps and memory use. I have never used anything else since I started flying this drone.
Upon first connection on the Queensland Sunshine Coast, I was asked by the DJI Go 4 app to confirm my registration via a telephone number in mainland China. It would not accept a number from any other country.
I closed and restarted the app, and then all seemed to function normally, except for an unexpected limit in height above take-off point: 30m. I was in bright sunlight, not the best condition to check settings on a small mobile phone screen, so I left dealing with this problem to the next startup.
This morning was the next start up, so before flying I checked all the settings, including beginner mode, distance limit and height limit - all seemed to be set the way I usually keep it. I took to take some photos of a friend's house and found that the system was not only limited to the 30m height, but also limited in radius to about 30m also (the message did not say what the radius was). I checked those limit settings again during hover and found the height limit at its usual 120m and distance limit set to off.
I'm quite puzzled by this unexpected behaviour, and I'm not sure how to approach it. I've searched the forum, but I can't find any mention of a request for a telephone number in mainland China (my prime suspect for the behaviour).
Does anyone have any suggestions for me, please?
