Have you read the manual? The flashing sequence of lights have meaning.

Same thing happened to me about a month ago. Fly away because of strong wind. Lost signal and had to jump in car chasing last known location. I'm sorry to say but if you update to new firmware 1.6 you will have even better chance of fly away since DJI decided to reduced maximum speed. They...

First confirmation that new firmware 1.6 indeed slow the bird down. Can you tell us new max speed?

Thanks for testing. Can you check your flight logs and see what speed you were ascending, descending?

It may sooner than that! Decided to do a second altitude test today, no fogs. After triple checking that there are no airports nearby and seeing no airplanes in sight I wanted to see if yesterday flight was above clouds or fogs. Sadly I did not go above the clouds, I'm somewhere between it...

hey, did you do the recalibration (IMU, compass) right after the updates? Try that and see if it helps.

When DJI “updated “ GO app from 2.4.0 to 2.4.1 two major changes were made. For one they removed the “format data recorder“ option. Second, they made the data recorder .DAT files “read-only“ (undeletable!). Couple that with latest RC firmware update 1.5.7 that forces you to update GO to 2.4.1...

Do us a favor and test the maximum speed.

All I want to do is fly above the clouds. I don't know how high they are so I guessed 10000ft. Don't be a hypocrite. Don't tell me you never flew above 400ft. Don't tell me you never flew out of LOS. I'll take responsibility if anything bad ever happens. Edited to add: also if you guys...

Be explain.

I'm no pilot, but everybody knows that airplane cruising altitude is between 30,000 - 40,000 ft. So yeah, it's safe for me to fly it 10000ft, my goal.

Possibly it was staged to make drone look bad and dangerous. I'm not falling for that. Probably more convincing if it for cause some injury.

I live in the United States. Why do people want to fly higher than 500m? Because they want to fly above the skies. It's just cool as hell. As for the altitude restriction / speed limit, I treat them as recommendations or suggestions. I know what is safe or unsafe and its up to me to decide...

I actually went out and flew today, thank you very much. Tested the altitude....it is indeed maxed out at 500m. What a bummer! The good thing though is that it went above the cloud. I guess they chose 500m because the clouds are a little below that. edited: actually I'm not sure it went...

More likely the government would be hacked easier because they use the cheapest bid contractor to set up this database and system.
