Well that really makes me want to go out and buy one...
Flight video won't work. Flight will be limited to 50m horizontal and 30m vertical from launch point. Sounds to me like owners need to avoid letting anything from DJI "phone home". I've got a few Naza's running 4.02 that I certainly will never upgrade or allow to connect to the internet now.
Looks like they are trying to head off careless/illegal flight and the usage of DJI stuff in war zones (or appear to at least look like they are trying), to avoid regulations and bans.

Well guess who wont be buying one. If I buy it I own it and I wont have some one far away meddling with it.
Now back to seeing if any of my old batteries, unused for over a year, still hold enough charge to fly. Fingers crossed

This news is typical of the trend now days.
Everyone want to know everything we are doing, no more freedom
hopefully this foot shooting will be put in it's place and DJI will suffer
we cannot tolerate this
anyway, reports are that they filed bankruptcy last week due to severe sales drop off.
what are they thinking?
we got the FAA off our back

and now DJI want to take over were they left off
guess DJI is playing double agent
