In general I like the idea of a NFZ coded into the craft as I have no desire to risk an accident, but at the same time I am perfectly willing to disregard the law under circumstances where the application of it crosses into the foolish.
By this I mean when the possibility of the craft causing damage to aircraft is simply not there by any reasonable standard such as flying 10 feet from the ground to get a tracking shot of a person on a bike. I would imaging it would also be a good idea to have RTH set to hover to avoid the craft losing signal and rising up into possible airspace. Now, one could lose control or have a flyaway so I could see the argument that even very low flying has a risk. But what about say shooting inside a warehouse that happens to be a mile from the airport (Fly-aways just are not much of a threat to air-traffic if your in a warehouse) Low level flying/filming is for me my favorite style to shoot.
Is there a way to get DJI to unlock an area in these situations?
It seems to me that as far as the practicality low altitude flying certain levels simply cannot pose a threat to aircraft unless you takeoff from the runway yourself in front of the plane or are within say 30 feet of a helipad.
While I can use my 3DR Solo for these kind of shots if they become necessary it would be nice of instead of locking out flight altogether there was an option to have a height ceiling restriction.
Still, in general I just avoid the area.
