Go to Settings/Privacy/Location Services, then turn them all off or manually select the ones you want to turn off. Go to Settings/General/Background App Refresh, and then turn it off. Tap on the Settings icon/General/Software update to get the latest iOS system for your device. However, if you are an Android user, you are probably aware that there are several brands and hardware configurations for your system, so understanding what sort of CPU, or RAM you have is crucial. On the other hand, those who use an iOS-based system can download the app directly from the Apple Store. Keep your hands on the control sticks to maintain control throughout flight.
I wrote an in-depth article about reasons for video lag that you can find here, but I didn’t include a Fly Safe Database Update as a potential solution for the problem because I didn’t see it as a viable one at the time. If you are flying along and the Drone suddenly stops for no apparent reason, there is a decent chance you have entered a geofenced area. With every fly safe database update, DJI is essentially inputting more GPS coordinates for where your drone is not able to fly. THIS IS IMPORTANT – Remember how back in the day the drone would recognize an obstacle and just stop. You would then have to manually “find” a safe path that would allow you to fit your drone around the obstacle?
We cannot be sure what will happen in future firmware updates, so you will be performing these updates on your own risk . The app is free to download but is also a companion to Pix4D’s photogrammetry software that you’ll need to pay for in most cases. It’s also important to note that not all drones or controllers are compatible.
Hey, it happens to the best of us and I can’t even count how many epic maneuvers I’ve done with my drone (not really, but you will never know ?) to realized after several minutes that I didn’t actually hit the record button. The Return To Home function will force your drone to go up even higher which the wind is likely even stronger and then you can say goodbye to your drone as it will drift even further away. Instead, reduce your altitude to as low as you and start manually flying it back to you. Within the app interface, at the top, you will see a small red satellite icon and an alert if the app detects signal interference or if the signal is low. When you see that, do not try to push your drone and see how far it goes. Imagine spending 400 USD for a drone to realize that you can’t test it around your house because you are in a no-fly zone.
An Authorization Zone is depicted by blue veils on the DJI geofencing maps. When within one of these zones, your drone will not take off without first unlocking the zone. This video explains what DJI Geofencing is and how it can impact your drone flights.

Miriam has penned over 3,000 articles focused on the commercial drone space and is an international speaker and recognized figure in the industry.
DJI Fly Safe no-fly zones are broken down into Authorization zones, Restricted zones, Altitude zones, and Enhanced Warning zones. The app is guaranteed to work on all public iOS versions that the official DJI app is working on. If you are using it on beta iOS versions, you are doing it on your own risk. Once your UDID has been registered, it cannot be changed, Apple doesn’t allow it. So make sure you are sending the correct UDID of the device you’ll be using when flying. The app is signed with a valid Apple developer certificate specifically for your device, so when making the purchase you need to provide the UDID of your iPhone or iPad.
DJI manufactures commercial unmanned aerial vehicles for aerial photography and videography. It also designs and manufactures camera gimbals, action cameras, camera stabilizers, flight platforms, propulsion systems and flight control systems. It is guaranteed that the current version of the Fly app will switch the drone into FCC mode on the current firmware of all consumer drones.
This post lists the app compatible devices and tells you how to check the compatibility of your phones or tablets, and helps you to choose the right one for your drone. While the update is primarily aimed at bringing much-needed functionalities to Mavic 3 users, it also contains a quick and easy fix to get smoother aerial footage and have much greater control over compatible DJI drones. Like most well-equipped drones, the Evo Lite+ also features a number of autonomous flight modes that help the pilot shoot sensational video sequences from a variety of angles that are otherwise impossible to replicate manually. Dynamic Track 2.1, meanwhile, automatically follows a moving subject with zero input by the pilot.
There was a demand for DJI to incorporate some type of geofencing system that would prohibit their drones from entering certain airspace.
