1) Can you confirm that DJI no longer prevents its drones from taking off / flying into any locations whatsoever in the United States, including but not limited to military installations, over public emergency areas like wildfires, and critical government buildings like the White House?

DJI, a Chinese-based technology company, got rid of its geofence software, which stopped people from flying drones over the White House, runways, power plants and during public emergencies.

Since at least 2013 when DJI first released its Phantom drone in the United States, the company has made it difficult for drone operators to fly DJI drones over restricted areas. The software on the drones would automatically restrict you from flying over sensitive places including runways, the White House, and power plants.

DJI will no longer stop drones from flying over airports, wildfires, and the White House, passing the buck to US law enforcement to prevent some of the worst forms of drone misuse. Some are suggesting the curious timing of that decision is political,

I tested the new DJI Flip drone and you can read what I think about it's design, functionality, performance and more.

The drone maker is removing software restraints that prevented its products from flying over restricted areas, ceding control to drone pilots.

The DJI Flip takes a novel approach to the foldable design, resulting in a compact drone ideal for traveling creatives.

I flew the new DJI Flip for a month and fell in love with its safety-first design, 48MP stills, 4K/60fps video capabilities, and its Star Wars-esque design.

Big news for drone enthusiasts! DJI has officially removed geofencing restrictions for US pilots, marking a major shift in drone flying regulations. Pilots will now have more freedom, with FAA-designated zones showing warnings instead of being auto-blocked.
