DJI removes geofencing from its drones in the US
If you are the owner of a DJI drone and you live in the US, you can now fly pretty much anywhere you want. DJI has announced the lifting of geofencing which blocked drones from flying over restricted and sensitive areas -- such as power stations, military buildings and the like.
The move brings US drone owners the same freedoms as those in the EU, but it could ultimately see DJI banned from the United States. But DJI is standing by its decision to lift restrictions, saying that a decade of having its geofencing system (GEO) in place has already helped to “foster responsible flight practices and prevent DJI drone operators from unintentionally flying in restricted airspace”.
