So I understand the restrictions we have here regarding drone use and that the DJI M2P enforces these restrictions. If I was to take my drone to say the middle of the Sahara, would it recognise that the UK restrictions doesn’t apply and would let me fly higher than the limitation needed in the UK, for instance? Not that I have any particular plans at the moment to do so but y’never know.
Essentially what I’m curious about is if the drone will set its restrictions based on location or if as it was a UK purchased drone that any restrictions applied to it will apply wherever you use it?
And am I right in thinking that my M2P won’t fly above 120m/400ft as it’s locked to that altitude limitation?
Ah, I understand now. Right, got you. Yes. No idea if there’s a hidden maximum if you just leave it unset. I feel vertigo on occasion just looking at the footage from 120m, not sure my stomach would handle a test of 1000m even if it were legal
Well, I’m wrong… just checked. On the app it states the maximum altitude is from 20m-500m. Trying to clear the field entirely or setting it less than 20m and it just goes back to the previous setting. Can’t type in any value over 500m at all.
On the DJI website it states the maximum altitude of the M2P is 500m so I guess that’s across the board regardless of location.
