I flew the new DJI Flip for a month and fell in love with its safety-first design, 48MP stills, 4K/60fps video capabilities, and its Star Wars-esque design.

DJI, a Chinese-based technology company, got rid of its geofence software, which stopped people from flying drones over the White House, runways, power plants and during public emergencies.

Big news for drone enthusiasts! DJI has officially removed geofencing restrictions for US pilots, marking a major shift in drone flying regulations. Pilots will now have more freedom, with FAA-designated zones showing warnings instead of being auto-blocked.

Since at least 2013 when DJI first released its Phantom drone in the United States, the company has made it difficult for drone operators to fly DJI drones over restricted areas. The software on the drones would automatically restrict you from flying over sensitive places including runways, the White House, and power plants.
