DJI recently an update that added some new safety features, including GPS geofencing that stops the drone flying about near sensitive places: like the White House. However, it has paused the roll-out of the update after a few reports that “unanticipated flight behaviour after updating” to Phantom firmware v3.10.
For now, the company advises that Phantom pilots stick to older versions for now until those safety upgrades are completely, well, safe.
DJI’s latest update not only included forced landings if its drones were frolicking near buildings important to national security and airports, but also the ability to access mobile data services while using the WiFi range extender, as well as a warning to not take off if the drone / pilot doesn’t have sufficient GPS signal.
