Hi guys! My modded Mavic Pro is on its last legs, after 7 years of rather good use. I’m starting to consider it might die soon, and I might want to buy a replacement. But, I’d like to know how is the privacy situation with DJI these days. Do they still demand your app to check-in online every few days in order to upload your flight data? That was the reason I got a modded firmware/apk downgrade back in the day, and never looked back. But I wonder how are things now… Thanks!
I don’t know anything about uploading flight data. I just know that every once in a while I get a SMS challenge request before I am allowed to fly. This is completely separate from the LAANC auth.
Well it sounds creepy that it wants to ensure your identity before letting you fly.
Unfortunately, drone piloting is a federally regulated hobby. That fact puts it in a much different class than other very similar hobbies.
