I did the app and firmware update, took good 10min, but went smoothly, put it simply it does work.
I have very mixed feelings about what's coming. Call me paranoid, but I have seen a lot of unregulated things going through the regulation process, never ends well for average Joe.
After the update, I want to take off in my house I get prompt to enter cell number, after entering cell they have send me 6 digit authorization number after entering it, I got stuck at the following screen:
I'm sure it will work if I check all the boxes. But let's face it for how long?
1. I'm just 17 years old kid that got MM for Christmas form my dad (not true in my case but...) am I qualified to fly? How do I know if I am qualified or not? As long as checking gets me in the air, I will check it all; it has to be checked.
2. Can I assume liability if I'm not an adult? Better yet, even as an adult, this checkbox is total legal baloney at this moment (at this moment)
3. I wonder what device hardware information DJI wants to get from me; they don't already have? Are those synced logs? Are logs going to DJI or somewhere else? Does anyone know what data is being uploaded? Is it just for this flight or all the past flights and future flights?
This update looks like preparation for something to come, few scenarios:
How do you guys feel about this?

This update looks like preparation for something to come, few scenarios:
- You will need to pay for unlocking of anything, and then still can be capped at distance and elevation.
- Unlock available only to people with some special advanced license and flight test passed. (current law in Cad)
- It does not look like the protection and safety of planes, even tho it is sold to us like that; it seems more like future drone delivery services/interest protection and securing of the sky for themself by slow elimination of hobbysts.
- Once commercial delivery drones are in the air, none of us will be able to unlock anything, as they will get priority.
How do you guys feel about this?
