RESOLVED! I reinstalled everything. I updated the OS on my iPad 4 Mini. I reinstalled the newest version of DJI GO app. I signed into my DJI account. I also went in and manually set the distance and height limits. Took the drone out to the beach today and flew out 1 mile. Now working. But...

I will let you know. I sent an email for help to DJI. (Some claim that is a futile gesture.) Going back to the local drone store tomorrow. There's a former military guy who runs it, who is on top of all the software issues. He's quite helpful. I might go out tomorrow and record a video of my...

I was attempting a test to get shots of sailboats finishing a race from California to Hawaii. The rich yacht owners hire helicopters and pay $1000 per hour to get these shots. Someone saw my professional drone footage and offered to take me out for some sample video, to see if I could get the...

Yes, I logged in and registered. I was not in beginner mode. I went to sport mode. Could it be that I was flying in a yellow caution zone? I have launched at this location many times and flown out 1500 meters and up to 300. Now, it limits me. Could that be what this is about? One final...

I don't understand. I fly a Phantom 4 Pro. I use an iPad Mini 4 as the screen for the controller. Is it even possible to fly without a screen? My iPad Mini does not have cellular, and often in the field there is no WIFI. What a STUPID upgrade. I was not able to lift the restrictions.

As stated in other threads, the latest firmware 'upgrade' causes your drone to limit its range to 50 meters. I lost a big-paying job because of this firmware update. (Grrr.) I almost lost my drone because I was on a boat, which moved away from the drone, and the drone stopped and would not...

I just lost a big-paying client because of this GD firmware upgrade. My drone will fly 50 meters, no farther, no matter what I do. Why the heck would they put something in the firmware update that limits your drone to 50 meters? Stupid. I logged into my account, as advised. Did not fix the...

msinger, Thank you very much for posting this link. Big I help. I really appreciate it. This was an extremely annoying feature of the new firmware, potentially fatal to my drone. I was flying off a boat for the first time. Launched, and the boat moved 50 meters away from the drone. I could...

I just updated the firmware (June 28, 2017) and got a warning that my range and altitude would be restricted with the update. Went out and flew off a boat in tough conditions in the Pacific ocean. Set the drone to Return To My Location. The boat left the drone, and the drone would go UP or...

I have watched a number of YouTube videos, and searched numerous threads on this topic, but no answer. I am going to shoot sailboats from a moving boat in the Pacific Ocean, and I need the Phantom 4 Pro set to RETURN TO THE CONTROLLER, not home point. I understand the concept. You open the...

I figured this out. Was trying to run ASSISTANT on a newer Mac with new operating system. I loaded Assistant on my older laptop, with a not so up to date Mac OS... and the polka dots appeared, and I was able to calibrate. So, DJI software is a bit behind the curve in terms of newer operating...

I've been flying my Phantom 4 Pro over the ocean. This is Ala Moana Beach in Honolulu, island of Oahu, Hawaii. I've had my drone for three weeks. Still learning how to fly.
