In this way, you can find the settings you want to use in seconds and nothing distracts you from your main goal which is flying your drone safely and effectively. It even provides a number of tutorials to teach you how to get the most out of your drone on your own. phantom 4 is the official tool for this famous drone brand that lets millions of users take aerial shots in a variety of locations. With its simple interface, you can see what you are recording in real time and then you have an editor to get the most out of your videos. You can watch Darren’s review of the DJI fly app update, version 1.6.5 for iOS below.

So you’ve checked the geofencing restrictions and found that you want to fly in one of these zones. GEO 2.0 was introduced in late 2018 in response to both additional drone incidents and lobbying by pilots to allow flight in previously restricted areas. DJI actually took a major lead in this, working with the FAA and multiple professional flying organizations to come up with the best solution possible for both pilots and public safety.

I found that flying in crowded areas like a city or in an area where there are thick trees high above me often led to signal loss which is always nerve-wracking. You will be sacrificing your spare batteries but at least, you have the remote control to fly around, which is so much better than not being able to fly at all. The app will often alert you to update your firmware before you can fly and that is something you definitely don’t want to be doing when you are out and about.

While the DJI Mini 3 Pro doesn’t have the dynamic range of a mirrorless camera, there’s still a good bit of play here. The photo above, for example, the landscape was almost entirely black.
