    Flying with Tin Foil - 50 meters max

    My airport, DTS, is yellow on the geo website and I have attempted to unlock with a credit card. However, it still shows up as red on the DJI go app when I get ready to fly. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    I am signed up for it. However, it appears that it is only unlocking "yellow zones" right now. Hope it will unlock the "red zones" in the future.

    This is a very intriguing option. As I will need to do monthly progress photos over the next year, I am considering the P2V+. I did a little research and it looks like there is a P2V+ v.2 and v.3. Any recommendations on getting v2 or v3? Do they both accept the 1.08 firmware?

    Here is an idea. If you look at the map of the NFZ in my previous post, there is a park to the SE of the runway. What would happen if I went up to 400' in normal GPS flying mode (no foil) and went a short ways into the NFZ? I am willing to try it, but would like to know how it will react when...

    What is the firmware version that I would need to retro to on the P3. I would like to stick with the P3 if possible. I really like the camera on the P3. No fisheye and nice straight horizons.

    I will check satellite count the next time I try it. Even if it senses a GPS location for a brief moment, that doesn't explain why I still have a 50m height restriction while using the foil when not in a NFZ. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Yes. I have taken it to 120m many times in P-GPS and ATTI mode. It is only when the foil is on that it will not go above 50m; whether in a NFZ or not. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Beginner mode is off. Also, height restriction in beginner mode is 30'

    See latest photo taken at 50m. I need to photo capture the rest of my new road going in that is at the top of the picture. Getting to around 120 meters would be ideal.

    See screen shot of my NFZ. The ATC tower is going in the woods just NE of the runway.

    I have also experimented flying with the tin foil cap while not in a NFZ, and it still will not go above 50 meters.

    The airport is not listed as either A or B on DJI site. However, it is a red zone NFZ on DJI GO App. Airport is DTS. The tower is not up yet, still installing a new road and doing site work.

    Yes it is set to the default 500m
