I'm using sparks with the latest firmware and I have a message that says GPS maximum altitude 60m....wtf....i can't go higher despite I set within dji go app as 500m height limit. Is this happening to anyone else?

 

[blade81]

caas regulatory is 200ft ceiling = 60m. I believe dji software are design to prevent you from breaking those regulation, including attempt to take off from within NFZ

 

[Nemesismaster]

But the last I fly around 4 months ago I could go much higher around 400 m... Just want to confirm if other sparks owner also experienced the 60m max altitude.

Footnote: Spotted camaraderie drone (or UFO?) @ 1:13mins

Aha...must be the DJI rolls out Geofencing 2.0 to airports across Asia-Pacific . You must be in the 60m zone huh? I tested so far so good outside from those zones https://www.dji.com/sg/flysafe/geo-map .

should be no problem bringing in
the registration is a hassle, the part that requires a drone insurance

if using for bashing/racing only, bugs5 should be good enough. Check with blade81, he flew a bugs3 before.

if using for aerial photography, then DJI Spark, Hubsan H117S, JJRC X9, Dobby needed (Spark or H117S preferred). Check with hwzlite, he is our expert in Spark here.

I do not think bugs5's single axis gimbal is stabilizing the camera. I think it is more like for remote control tilting only. I had played with single axis gimbal a year ago.

A few questions hopping someone experienced in this field can help out.

I'd a oversea friend working in the tourism industry coming to SG to film a few videos for his company. He asked if flying a drones around mount faber park was allowed and if there's any restrictions around it? If not, is there any ways he can apply for a permit to do it?

(I read somewhere that parks under NEA are not allowed, but some laws doesn't state Mount Faber in it. I'm quite puzzle about this.)

 

[Quadcopter]

where is hwzlite? help! wind or no wind, my spark's max speed is only 10km/hr in p-mode. spec says 20km/hr. and mavic2 is getting 50km/hr. how to fix that spark speed problem?

and, anyone interested in flying drone together this weekend at east coast park? please pm me. i'm flying spark.

more than half os singapore is a NFZ....kinda pointless to own a drone anymore unless u r willing to travel far jus to fly for like 20-30mins (which is what the battery usually lasts for)
