DJI Mini 3 / 3 Pro maximum distance in UK

Posted 20th Aug 2023
Do these drone have a maximum flight distance enforced by say software?

A friend has a DJI mini 3 pro and even in local park of several acres of open space(well a few trees and a lake) the drone doesn't go further than 500m before returning.

We know it has a software enforced limit of 120m of height and that's understandable but is it the same for distance?

    That’s the legal distance you can go. 500m or beyond line of sight, whichever is closer. As it’s a mini you probably cant see it 500m away so 500m probably too far anyway.

    Is it enforced by the software then, as in the drone will not allow it's self to go further than 500m
