00:00Big news for drone enthusiasts!
00:02DJI, the world's leading drone maker,
00:04just made a game-changing update that's shaking up the skies!
00:09For the first time in over a decade,
00:11DJI drones in the U.S. will no longer be automatically blocked
00:14from flying over military bases, airports, and other restricted areas.
00:19That's right! DJI has removed its geofencing restrictions.
00:23Instead of locking you out,
00:25DJI's updated software will now show FAA-designated zones
00:29as enhanced warning areas.
00:31You'll get a safety warning, but the final decision?
00:33It's up to you, the pilot!
00:36DJI introduced geofencing back in 2013
00:39to help pilots avoid restricted airspace.
00:42But now, with new FAA rules like Remote ID,
00:45basically a license plate for drones,
00:48the company says geofencing is redundant.
00:51The update comes as drones face scrutiny,
00:53like incidents near wildfires,
00:55but they've also proven invaluable for tracking damage
00:58and capturing critical footage during disasters.
01:02This bold move puts more power in the hands of drone pilots
01:05while still following FAA rules.
01:07What do you think?
01:08Does this boost freedom or raise risks?
