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 just stumbled upon this community, so apologies for the zombie thread response. I have an Air 3 with RC2, purchased October 2023. It’s been online twice when I first got it. No problems. I did a flight yesterday, and it hasn’t been connected to my office network (the only network I enabled) in at least six months.

    Tangential: DJI fixed their crappy geofencing around the time of the Mini 3. They used to allocate a max of six (eight?) vertices for geofences, which would lock out large geographical areas even when they were absolutely Class G airspace. No-fly zones are way more accurate now. And I recently read they changed their software to put the responsibility on the pilot, so maybe it’s time for a software update.
