    Hey fellow drone enthusiasts! 🚁 With the new regulations buzzing around, I had to test if the DJI Mini 4 Pro truly caps out at 120m in the UK and EU.
    Throughout the flight, I discuss the implications, safety measures, and the real-world experience of these possible altitude limitations. If you've been curious about this topic or if you're considering flying your DJI Mini 4 Pro in these regions, this video's for you.
    Got insights or experiences of your own with altitude restrictions? Drop your stories and thoughts in the comments. I'm eager to hear from our passionate drone community.
    Thanks for taking to the skies with me! Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more drone investigations and adventures. 🌍✈️

    **UPDATE**
    It seems that the UK and EU do indeed have different models of the Mini 4 Pro. Some of my EU friends have confimed their drones are LOCKED to 120m altitude!!!

      Belgium here (EU). My mini 4 pro arrived today, it has a C0 label and just as you have shown in the video, I can increase beyond 120m after confirming a warning about breaking regulations. I did get all the latest updates so at least the firmwareas of date doesn't seem to enforce the limit for me

    Extending the range to 20 km and limiting the altitude to 120m are exceptionally strange.

    Great video Simon. Question, I know if you’re on a mountain you can fly 400ft above the mountain, is it still the same if you’re on the top level of a multi storey Carpark, which say is 100ft high?

    Does it still allow you to go above 120m? I read on the DJI website that they had to remove the hard limit in September due to a software bug but it was going to be reverted before EU rules came into force in January...

    Hello. I have a dji mini 4 pro. I fly it in UK. The max distance on the max altitude (120m) is only 1700m, then I completely lose a signal between RC2 AND MY DRONE DJI MININI 4 PRO can someone tell me how to improve the signal( Thanks.

  • @3drender889
    @3drender889 9 месяцев назад +3

    120m limit depends on the geolocation according the actual gps data.. No different models or firmware versions. If you travel to the EU with your drone the 120m limit will also apply.

    Is the altitude measured from the take-off point or is the altitude measured from the ground directly below the drone? eg if you fly the drone up the side of a hill, the two measurements would be different

      @@Damian-tx9tr If you purchase the drone in Spain like me it's max 120mts out of the box, it's due to geo-location I believe, so if you buy yours in the UK then travel to Spain I think that as soon as you turn on your drone it will recognise where you are and lock it to 120 mts.
