The simplest and quickest way to make run the Mavic Air in FCC mod, no matter where your location is!
Follow these few simple steps on Android device:
1. Download and install the Fake GPS app - bit.ly/2osNcnV
2. Enable Developer options on your device - go to Settings - about - Build number and tap 7 times on the build number
3. Go to Developer options. Find "Mock Locations" or "Select Mock Location app" and choose FakeGPS.
4. Open Fake GPS app. Choose a location in the USA. Tap "Start".
5. Turn the drone and the transmitter on
6. Connect to the transmitter as usual and Open the DJI Go 4 app.
7. It will ask you to switch WiFi settings. Choose "YES"! The transmitter will restart.
8. Once the restart is completed, go to Settings - Wifi in the DJI Go 4 app and make sure you see 11 bands on 2.4GHz. If you see 13, you are still in CE mode. Go back to the previous steps and find out what you did wrong.
9. Stop the Fake GPS app. you no longer need it.
10. Enjoy and FLY RESPONSIBLY!
Note: Once you switch to FCC and you stop the Fake GPS app, the DJI Go 4 will ask you to switch WLAN settings every time before flying. Always choose "No", as otherwise it will return the settings to CE mode.

Wow..u did it again with Mavic Air from CE to FCC without modd app. Your explanation is crystal clear and easily understood.
I just like it although i don't have the Mavic Air yet.I still have my Sparky with me..so i m jealous...
This is awesome!! It works, and i don't need any kind of hack. I live in CE area, and 200 - 300 meters are more than enough for me. But sometimes i loose signal way too early which initiates RTH. Having all the extra power to stay in control is a nice feeling.
Thanks buddy!!! It's still working!
Great explanations. I use both my Android phone and my iPAD. I've been happy to see that when I now plugged in the iPAD, it's still in FCC mode! So the remote is the key to all!
Thanks again!
Wow, your channel exploded since the last time i was on here. Congrats and good luck further on 😊
I can confirm that this works even across devices, once it's "saved" to the controller on Android you can switch to iOS and it'll ask the same question. However, once I accidentally hit "ok" on Android while in the field (thus going back to CE mode) and the Fake GPS app just wouldn't work. Once I went back home, it worked again. I *think* that if DJI Go receives GPS data from the aircraft, it's going to override the GPS from the phone, therefore staying in CE mode if you're in Europe.
Many, many thanks! If I only knew that it was SO easy. I thought it involved faking the location every time again, but it's simply switching the remote into FCC and not allowing it to switch back. It's so easy, one could think DJI has got a solution against it, but they probably don't care, not their responsibility anymore. I didn't fly yet, just switched, but I'm excited to see the results. I don't need kilometers of range, but if I get 300m without disturbances in the video feed, I'm already happy.
I am very happy that it works for you! And indeed - it takes only a couple of minutes;
DJI have more or less no choice - if they don't respect regulations, they are about to be in a serious trouble. Good that they still keep the backdoor unlocked 😇
It worked really well! Earlier I got like 400m in 2.5Ghz near city limits. Now I easily get around 800m+ from the same location (y)
Mmmm, sounds great!
very helpfull tips , thanks.
Update :
I've tried this tips with my mavic, and wohooo... it worked. In high population city with lots of interference warning, my mavic air only can fly 38m away from home point (CE mode), after trying this, it flew 268m away from homepoint before it lost signal. So Great !
Looks awesome
well done thank you, tried it and it worked went beyond all my flights
I am also using it every single time I fly the M. Air :-)
Hi my friend very nice video thanks but one question can you do this with the Maverick mini I'm coming from Spain thanks
Jantje Safari I don't plan to review the Mini; From what I see online - it is a wonderful drone! But the lack of 4K and control of the shooting are making me wait.
It worked on both my spark and mavic air. Thanks again for an awesome video and very clear explanation. Keep up the good work ;)
Great to hear!
Bonjour et ce que cela marche aussi sur l'appli dji go pour phantom 3 se ? Merci
It may work on Phantom 3 SE, but I haven't tried it myself.
Hi from greece,do you know if the spark has ,the homelock flight mode?
Hi Tom! Not sure what you mean by homelock? If you are asking whether return to home works fine in FCC mode - it absolutely does :-)
Hey man! Thanks for the tutorial. 1 questions only... might be silly, but here it goes: Does the procedure interfere with the Return Home function or other apps like waze/google maps? Thank you!
It doesn't. Luckily the Drone has its own GPS and it is the one used for RTH.
Hi, first thanks for the super clear video. I didn't even need to take notes, so clear and straight forward it is. My procedure failed because I did not have the "cancel" botton. as soon as I reconnected the phone to the controller with "normal" GPS - it told me it changes settings to the local ones, and allowed me only to OK it...
Hey Alon, thanks for the feedback and glad it was easy.
Unfortunately the recent versions of the DJI GO4 app are getting tougher to beat. You may try to run something older and see if it will work.
Thanks a lot from Spain! works grate on my mavic air!!!! good job!
I am so so happy this little trick helps people! Much appreciated that you stopped by. Happy flying! :-)
is this tutorial still affect the same now in mavic air. no change wlan settings pop up after fake gps running
Many people say that it may not work now; I no longer have the drone around.
Ok ...i got it but how about RTH can you still use the real location with the google maps like the GO 4 app says (home point has been located check it on the map)
Absolutely. The drone relies on its own GPS for returning back home. The GPS mod you apply is for your smartphone, so that it instructs the transmitter to go to FCC mode.
Hello,thank you for your video. I made the manipulation without any problem. But now, when i click on "RTH" to
fix take-off gps coordinates, i get the message "home point setting failed" . Any idea ? thank you !
Hm, haven't seen that before. Did you close the fake GPS app before taking off?
Has sb tried in the lastest ( 4.2.2) dji go 4 app? Thanks!
Not yet on my side. If anyone has tested it? Maybe you can check in some of the facebook groups.
Thank you so much for your information , it's made a huge difference to my drone , now I see how those American s get so far without the problems we have . Just flown mine for the first time in FCC and wow !
It is an awesome feeling indeed 😎😎😎
@@TechMishka yeah " when I was trying it ,I thought it's so much stronger signal and it went to 2.4 gz and it was just a quick flight , but I'll have a do this weekend 👍🇬🇧
THANK's for your Great Video! ....i just bought a new "Mavic 2 Pro" and i want to ask for a cheaper way of doing FPV! The DJI Goggles RE cost 500 EUR , so it would be great , to find a better solution. Could you help?
Not really :( Not aware which googles are compatible with it.
Thank you very much. My Air gets the "weak signal" popup at 100 meters. Will try to switch to FCC mode and also change to 2.4Ghz. Would be awesome if it reached 500m, else I need to move around too much to capture everything in 1 location.
Hi can I do the same thing with my phantom 3 standard. Thanks in advance.
Yeah, you can. But the range of the standard should be good enough even without it.
The best explanation!!!
Hi tech4all,
In CE mode my Spark would fly close to 350m, and that is with glitches and video losses. After FCC mod, my personal best record yesterday was 2235m without any video glitches. Decided to trigger RTH as the battery level has reached 45%. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good effort!
cheguazam , I am so glad you share this result! Awesome! I haven't done any range tests on the Mavic air, because the terrain around where I live is not suitable and the weather is anyways quite bad :-) But the CE mode of the mavic Air is as restrictive as the one on the Spark. I barely felt any difference.
Hi. I just bought a mini 3 pro with a smart controller. Anybody know how to get this in fcc mode??
What should I do with mavic pro ( I’ve done such operations , but there is no menu which turns on the fcc mode )
Fake gps is working ( a am in US in google maps)
THe procedure is the same with the Pro. But it has occusync - why do you need to go to FCC?
Yes lots of people posting this mod which is very good info but DJI have stopped this trick from working in the latest version of the App, I am running Android version 4.3.0, it lets you switch to FCC mode when you run fake GPS app but the minute you stop running the fake location it defaults back to CE mode without asking you. Is there a version of 4.3.0 that has this limit taken out? how recent is the hacked version in the facebook group? and can I install both versions of the app on 1 device? Thanks for sharing.
THere is a way to have two versions of the app if your smartphone supports it. But there is nothing wrong staying at slightly older version - I don't think there will be many new features arriving in the new versions. Haven't tried the mentioned by you version yet so I can't say if it reverts back to CE on my end too.
Thanks for sharing this!
Please tell me what will happen before switching the fake gps off again ..what the positions at the controller map i will see ..and what is about the RTH POINT and the map
Hi Hasham, the only negative side of the fake gps will be how your phone treats the location. The drone uses its own gps module to locate coordinates. It will disturb google maps, for example :D But your RTH and take off locations will be fine. Overall it is better to switch it off, because it unnecessarily confuses your smartphone.
does it still works? because i do everything you say, but, the dji 4 program does not restart, and either i enter the go fly, or close the program and open it again, in wireless settings i see 13 columns, not 11.. :( any ideas why is that so? now i'll try to reinstall the program.. maybe it will restart then..
well, the problem was that for this to work, the aircraft and the rc had to be within 50cm. now i'm in FCC :)
Its crazy to think that when in CE mode the max distance advertised by DJI is only 2000m in perfect condition but FCC mode is 4000m in the same condition... with spoofing the gps wont this take away gps map functioanlity due to the maps thining we are in another country or doe it just spoof the controller rather than out phones gps?
It is not crazy, but logical - based on the maximum allowed radio transmission power in different regions.
Spoofing the GPS is happening on the phone, not the drone; So RTH works fine.
Does this also work with the Mavic pro? I normally only get 400m of range before it disconnects completely.
HELP APPRECIATED!!!!!
Hi Nicolas, sure - it does work with the Mavic Pro as well.
Before going into FCC mode - try to manually choose a channel - and look for something in the 5GHz range - usually the higher frequencies are not that "busy".
How do you switch to 5.8 ? what is it recommanded for ( less frequencies commonly used, better range) ?
I switch to 5.8 from the DJI GO 4 app. Just navigate to the wifi settings and choose a custom frequency. I prefer 5.8 because it has less interference, especially in urban areas.
Does this procedure work on my Phantom 4? Would like to fly it on FCC too..
I have not tried that on Phantom 4, but there is no reason not to.. You may try and confirm, and I will update the notes in the description accordingly :-)
Is it possible to advice for mavic 2 zoom to avoid the no fly zone?
Hi Tanjim - sure - it is a very simple process - get in touch with DJI's support and they will brief you how to get permission and exception for a flight in a no-fly zone, if that gets approved, of course. The no-fly zones are there to be respected in any other case.
Hello, can you please tell me if I can activate phone's GPS while I am running my spark on fcc mode?
Sure.
OH. MY. WORD! This hack is fantastic. So I have a DJI Spark, since January, and have flown it around the globe, managing a decent 500m, then some interference, not great, but decent. So I used this android hack, on the wife’s phone, and took the Spark out yesterday. The drone flew well over 1KM, without a single issue in range, or feed, I love this hack. If you action the hack on an android, then fly on iOS, it still works! 👍🏼 thank you
Hey Kick Nay, thank you so much for this positive attitude and for taking the time to share your feedback.
I am still flying a lot with this mod and it truly gives a new life to these sweethearts :-)
P.S. you may like the biggest Spark group online - TheSparkSide (facebook)
It works thanks ....my only concern is about the return home function. .
No need to be concerned about that - it is based on the GPS inside the drone and the function will work just fine.
hi iam just wondering if you change from ce mode to fcc mode can u use a ios phone or are u stuck with the android phone you used
Yes - you can use an iPhone and it will work fine. You will have to hit the "cancel" on the "switch wifi settings" prompt every time you see it, exactly like it is with Android.
Hey there I want to ask if I do this hack. Does it remove my ability to check my actual flight path. Cuz I live in a really dense city and I lose the sight of drone once I take off. And I rely on my gps track on the dji app map to guide my drone back. Nice video btw
The RTH feature is based on the GPS inside the drone itself.
I have a question. Once this is done will the GPS on the DJI app show the location you are actually flying in or will it stay in the USA? I'm hoping this works with the new air 2 I've ordered
The RTH function is based on the GPS inside the drone. So no worries.
The Mavic Air 2 doesn't really need it - you will have occusync which is having less drops.
Hi, excellent tutorial!! I'm in Australia. My Mavic Air showed 11 channels at 2.4 GHz before I did the hack - which suggests FCC mode already, and 11 channels at 2.4 GHz after I did the hack using Fake GPS (so still in FCC). However, my problem is I can't select 5.8 GHz when I change from 'Auto' to 'custom'. DJI Go4app version is 4.3.37 - what am I doing wrong? Many thanks.
Hey mate, thanks for the question. Quite weird that 5ghz cannot be selected. But the 2.4 range is anyways better - so if the range is now stable enough - just use it as it is.
Question: can you still use the return to home button with this on?
Sure! The RTH is independent from the Transmitter settings - it is bound to the GPS inside the drone.
does it work also with the latest version of DJI Go app?
Yup, it does :-)
Thanks for the video! Just a question, after you trick the transmitter and switch Fake GPS off, will the on-board GPS on the aircraft still work or will it also think it's in the US rather than your actual location (hence rendering GPS useless on the drone)?
The GPS in the drone will continue operation as normnal - it is independent from the transmitter's setting. So there will be no "flyaway".
@@TechMishka "Returning to home, Distance=1092,036km"
@@NubeBusterset it to 40km
Great tutorial dude. Thanks
Most welcome! I am very happy it is useful that long after it was created. I still use it on my own :D
Hi friend, thank you very much for the tutorial. just one question ! What happens if I need to return to the home point automatically? my location is different from fake gps, where will the drone go back ?? Thank you so much from Brazil.
Warm greetings to Brazil! :-)
The return to home function will remain unaffected. When you enable the fake GPS app, it tells the transmitter "Hey, we are in USA, so let's switch to FCC mode". It doesn't directly talk to the drone. The return to home function is based on the GPS that is embedded on the drone itself, so it won't fly away :-) As you can see I have tested DJI spark in FCC mode while I am in Europe and it returned home safe and sound :-)
Thank you so much for answering! when I turned on the drone I noticed that on the application screen where my current location appears in that small image where it is possible to click and enlarge it and see my location, my home point was in USA, so I did not fly because I was in doubt. Do I have to leave the fake gps active ??
Oh, please disable the Fake GPS before flight. You only need it to turn the transmitter in FCC mode and after that just remove it :-) Maybe that's why the map was showing a weird location.
Does this work as of 14/12/2019? As I’ve just tried and it says it is changing location and just says ok, it doesn’t give me a cancel option
You may try an older version of the app.
It works for me 27/12/2019 I can just cancel and I'm using the latest version app and drone software
Same happens to me.
Hi Techforall,thanks for a great app ,just done the mod and it works great with my new spark with the latest firmware ,v.4.3.8 now I can get more range hooray.thanks again,it also works with or withought the otg cable.
Excellent news! :-) And one more well working DJI drone :-) Hurray!
New subscriber here. Sorry if this has already been asked, but once you're in FCC mode, can you use the map while flying so you know where your drone is? Do you turn the Fake GPS off once you're in FCC mode? Thanks.
Questions here are always welcome!
After you are in FCC mode, you can uninstall the app - it is no longer needed. ANd it is only used to trick the transmitter - the drone and its GPS work as normal and everything continues as normal. RTH also works without change.
In my case it reverts automaticly to CE when I power up the drone...
Anyone knows how to fix it?
I'm using DJI Spark
Try to check the facebook group - TheSparkSide
Hey this works up until i turn on the drone (mavik pro) and then it automatically reverts back to its true location. Any tips?
Seems to happen more often these days as the app has become more restrictive...
I havnt updated my mavic air since i chanced to fcc in february.
Can i still update as normal and does the fcc mode work in europe nowdays or have updates blocked it?
Thanks :)
I no longer have the drone - gave it to a friend a few weeks ago and cannot confirm. Generally I belong to these people that never update unless I am forced to 🤩
Cool !
does the RTH still work in FCC mode?
Yes, it does. THe RTH is based on the drone's GPS, so the aircraft will not fly away.
Thanks!! Thinking of doing it, specialy after loosing signal for the first time. Since is revertible, depending on location of your flight you can decide wether to use it or not. I Live in Brazil.
Deu certo amigão? Estou considerando, só com um pouco de receio... hahahaha
Só agora vi seu comentário. Deu certo sim, sem problemas.
Thank you so much. Hack works well even on iPhone. The trick is to use any android device, follow the steps to trick the transmitter hence switch to fcc then use your everyday iPhone for the drone and press cancel at every launch of dji app. In my case the gain seems good enough although I d say still far from my magic pro (ce). Thank you again.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Piero. Yeah, the transmission is not as stable as Mavic Pro due to the difference in the wireless communication, but definitely way better than CE mode.
Working great on the Spark! thanks
Lovely! Enjoy your flights with better range.
I'm in Germany and I want to switch from CE to FCC. Does the trick shown by you still work (as of today)?
I believe it may not work anymore with the latest firmware. The drone is no longer with me and I cannot confirm.
Is there any possible way to do this for Mavic Mini? I've tried that and nothing's happen/changed.
Don't have the Mini around - but in some facebook groups I've seen people reporting that with similar approach it worked.
Your presentation is awesome ……..new subscriber from India I have Mavic Air
Yoo, thanks mate. Happy flying and warmest regards to India!
Hi. I tried this tutorial on my P3SE because DJI App 3.1.23 always crashes on my phone (Galaxy S8). Unfortunately then another problem came up. I changed my location to US with Fake GPS and got 11 channels but as soon as I connect my phone to the transmitter and the drone, the location sets back to Europe and 13 channels. It seems as the app checks location data not only from the phone but also from the drone and resets to Europe whenever I connect my phone to drone and transmitter. The app does not ask me if I want to change WiFi settings at all. Anyone else having this issue? Is there any fix or workaround? ~Jules
Is your phone Samsung? Noticed that behavior with a few Samsung phones recently. And happened exactly as you describe.
i just try this one on my mavic mini and yes i have 11 channels but with 5,8gh ? is that normal ?
Don't have the Mini around, so not quite sure.
Hi is it still able to enable fcc mode in mavic air? fake gps doesnt work now
I no longer have the drone around...
Thank you for sharing this Awesome information.
I bought my mavic air a few days ago before learning about the CE mode restrictions.
I don't fly long distances but its reassuring to know that I now have a stronger signal.
Thanks again & it was very easy to do.
Good luck Sir.
Thanks a lot Alan! I am running it in FCC mode because of the very same reasons - hate seeing the signal indication going red after 200-300 meters...
Happy flying! :-)
Great tutorial! Worked out great!
Thank you so much for the comment, David! Happy flying 😇😎
Sick video, very easy to do how you explained, once you confirm it's on FCC in the wifi menu, do you turn fake gps off? Just wondering as the onboard map was showing me in USA still??
Perhaps I forgot to mention that we should stop the fake GPS app - once FCC is on, you no longer need it.
@@TechMishka thank you , your video was definitely the easiest to get it working
OK
Im switching fake position on floater, but it wouldnt ask me for WLAN correction.. So for some reason it doesnt work on my phone. Any help? I have a Xiaomi phone
It's getting trickier with newer firmwares, sadly...
Hi dear and thanks for this great video. I would like to ask if is it normal for my Phantom 3SE to be "stuck" on 5G frequency and no possibility to change in 2.4G after restarting. My App tells me that the change will be effective ater restarting, but in the end I'm still on 5G. (I see 11 channels in 2.4G tho). Thank you.
Hi mate, I don't think this is quite normal. But I have no longer 3SE around to test that out.
Overall 5G is perhaps the better way to go, as it will have much less interference.
@@TechMishka thanks for your answer, and keep doing these awesome videos 💪
Very well explained !
Thanks mate. Enjoy a lot flying with this lovely buddy! 😇
Very useful, thank you. Yesterday I lost signal at 700 m, today Ill test it again. Should I chose one of 0-11 channels or 149+?
Depends on the area where you are flying at. I usually fly in the 5.8Ghz range, but for some people 2.4 feels better - these radio signals depend on altitude, surrounding buildings, area positioning and plenty of others - so the best thing to do is to try a few different modes.
But once you get into FCC you will likely not need any adjustments :-)
Имаш ли информация дали работи след последният ъпдейт? Ако стартирам дрона си в Македония и след това отказвам промяна WiFi в Бг дали ще се получи:)?
Здрасти Иво, би трябвало последният ъпдейт да не променя нищо. Не съм включвал последните 2 седмици и затова и не се е показвал. Вероятно утре ще се случи :-)
Общо взето не би трябвало да се промени, тъй като чисто технически е трудно DJI da въведат подобно ограничение. Така че смело си карай в Македония и България.
Стискам палци по границата да не се заяждат, защото наскоро едни приятели са имали премеждие отивайки към Сърбия. Там с Phantom, де :-)
Very clear and usefull video. Thank you !
Works with lastest versión of dji GO 4? For me ever change from FCC to CE. Only change option allowed (only ok, not cancel) when detect the diferencie between GPS location and dron Mode.
Is that on iPhone or Android? Maybe you can go to apkmirror and check if the older versions do the same. Works good on my side, but the app is the october release.
@@TechMishka it's Android version. I Will try with apkmirror old version
I have also the 4.3.8 version and it works fine.
Mavic Air 2 here, best CE distance was 1.5km so far. I started noticing weak signal so I'm not quite certain what's causing this or what's interfering but I believe I can get it further.
I never tried to push it that far, but 1.3 was something I got and it was pretty stable. It very much depends on the area.
Is there another link to the hacked software? Thanks.
Hi man, unfortunately after so many tries it doesn't worked for me on September 2021. Tried with fake GPS, tried to go with the drone (Mavic Air) to a location without GPS signal, it sees on the map that I am in the US but it didn't prompt me the message with changing the WLan settings.... Not at all. Still 13 channels and not 11. This it's my first time trying all that now with firmware up to date... Could be that Dji "fixed" that with the latest updates?! Please perhaps you can provide a solution. Greetings!
Hey mate, so sorry to hear that.
You may check some facebook groups - like TheSParkSide.
@@TechMishka thanks for the tip
How will I set the RTH to my actual location if I'm on FCc mode?
The drone counts on its own GPS. The mod you are applying is relevant to your phone and the controller.
Does this hack still works with latest DJI Go 4?
I've tried to do this with my Mavic Air. The map (in the app and in Google Maps) showed NYC, but the app itself never suggested WIFI settings switch nor 5Ghz configuration.
Try to wait for a few minutes - it still works and I still use it.
@@TechMishka It actually works indeed. I had to disable location "help" from WIFI and Bluetooth. (using Samsung S10)
I have one concern? how bout the RTH? it will affect? DJI SPARK USER
The RTH is based on the GPS inside the drone itself. So it won't.
@@TechMishka THANK YOU..
I can confirm that this process worked,however,everytime i switch off my spark and close the dji app,it will revert back to EC mode which is the 13 channels,any help?thanks
Oh, I have seen this kind of behavior with other devices as well. You may try an older version of the app. Or - you can check the TSS Facebook group - search for TheSparkSide.
I just have one question. In case if my drone will loose the signal while operating in FCC mode, is it going to return home or will fly away across the ocean? Thanks )))
nope, once fake gps stopped, drone will acquire current gps position :)
@@krismurphy7822 good question
But how to sto
Sorry but how to stop
Does it matter if I downloaded other app ? Like other fake gps app in play store ??
It should work too.
Thanks you for your help ! Here in Israel also it's like Europe !
For iOS you can once opening in a android smartphone ( from you friend) and after you go back to you iOS and you say "no" to change the wlan
I can confirm that on iOS, you can change your phone's location if debugging an app with Xcode and simulate location. Be sure that network debugging is on so that you debug the app (whatever the app is, doesn't matter, a new clean project is fine too) wirelessly so that you can use USB to attach to the Mavic's remote. This is not for everyone, I know, but maybe it helps someone. I've successfully switched to FCC and my range extended dramatically.
Thanks a LOT! Awesome to have info for iOS!
Do you know of any working "Fake GPS" for iOS?
Steve Nilsen czcams.com/video/rwt-Jvh9gyc/video.html
Good luck! This method will work only 7 days, BUT there is a paid method too(1 year subscription €50 euros 💶)
But you can do free method as much us you like by deleting and reinstalling)
But in my case I’m fed up to reinstalling app, I’ve contacted to the guy “ddzobov” 🇷🇺 and He helped me to install paid version of DJI GO.
did not get if i have to do so every time i use the drone or once and fine.
After you switched to FCC mode with an Android phone first, you can then use an iPad instead. No problems, it stays on FCC.
i did this but when i turn the mavic and controller on. Its as it was and I dont get that switch pop up box?
SOunds like the fake gps app not working. You can try another one - looks like some of them are not working well with some phones.
I do not get asked to switch in uk..
But have 11 there with fake GPS..
When I start with out fake GPS have 13..
Any ideas fellas
Is it okay to exit mock location /disable developer mode after doing this? Thanks!
Also, is it safe to turn on the Location?
Yes, both are fine.
So this won't interefere with RTH GPS location ?
It will not.
What do you get with FCC mode? And how to return it later back in stock mode?
Just accept the prompt for switching WiFi that always appears and - done. The big advantage is the better range.
You can't do that anymore with the new firmware on Mavic Mini (v01.00.0300). There's ONLY an OK button. NO Cancel button.. so sad...
Yeah, pretty disappointing; But that might be related to the smartphone app version. No?
Any thoughts on using a Samsung Note 8? I tried and couldn't get it.
Thanks
Haven't tested with the Note 8 - could be that access to such features are restricted. Where are you stuck? The Mock location settings?

I got it figured out. Just different steps in a different order to get the red marker.
I tested it out and don’t think it really improved my range though.
Thanks for getting back to me.
Say I lose connection to the drone and need to rth. Will this affect my home point?
No, it will work as normal; The transmitter's setting is based on your phone's location and sets the transmission power. The Drone's GPS works as normal and this config change has no impact on it.
Tech4All thanks!
I know that I'm in FCC mode because it shows only 1-11 channel, but why does it show 5.8 instead of 2.4 even though I'm in FCC; and it automatically reverts back to 5.8. Will it make a difference?
The channels can be switched automatically. With the latest firmwares, if you are set to auto - the drone and the transmitter are automatically switching to the most optimal channel.
I usually select the channel of preference manually and prefer to fly in 5G in order to avoid interference with routers, babyphones, etc.
tech4all thanks for tip, lastly do I get roughly about same distance in 5.8 and 2.4; FCC?
2.4 should theoretically have slightly better range. As for the 5.8 - I prefer using it because there is less interference in urban areas.
Hello, I did all the steps. I would love to use a fake location since I'm in a zone where I can only fly 150meters high. So when I launch the DJI Fly app, it states I'm in a free zone, which is great, but when I connect to the DJI Mini 2 and want to start flying, it connects again to the GPS for the RTH function and then it loads the correct gps data, which leads to the fact that I'm in the 150m zone again, and also in CE of course :( So the fake GPS does not seem to work for me. Is there any way to bypass this? Thanks in advance !
Sounds like you are trying to apply it on another Drone? Because as far as I remember - DJI Go 4 is the one suitable for Mavic Air 1.
@@TechMishka Yes, I have the mini 2. I guess it's a different software then since for the mini 2 the software to use is the DJI Fly app, whereby the GPS is integrated so the fake gps location gets overruled.
when in europe and have the fcc mode will it still show you the map that the drone took off ?
Yeah - it works as normal. The drone has its own GPS and you can't trick that one. RTH works fine too.
@@TechMishka thanks for the help!!!!
@@AlexK611 Most welcome, mate!
513th like my friend, first attempt gone success, tomorrow I will try new setting on my mavic air in Budapest because I had 300m range and signal lost.... thank again
Most welcome and good luck!
hi thank you for making this video , but can this method be apply to Phantom 4 pro, pls help.
Hi Azry - very likely this will work, yes. If it doesn't, it wouldn't harm.
Why do you want to apply this on the Phantom? It should have the perfect range, no matter where you fly.
tech4all yes that is about right but I find my p4p having problem with distance. As for my p4p around 2 -2.5 m I my drone will have interference problem . If I’m in a certain location when I reach 1 m I’m starting to have interference problem and disconnect . I have a question for you, this method can we use the latest version DJI go app with this mod, hey do u have Facebook or what app. I’m hoping we can chat regarding this matter tq
Got it. In that case - trying the modification described in the video should work. I haven't tested it, cause I don't have that model myself, but there is no reason not to.
As for facebook - facebook.com/tech4alln0w . Overall - the comments section here is the one that I monitor the most.
tech4all ok thank you will update you...will try when i got hands on my drone
Ok i have tried with samsung note 3 . Its an android phone . I have used the fake gps . I have done what was required but i dont get 11 channel i got 13 channel . Channel 1 to 13 that all this it dosent work or what have i done wrong. Hey ple advise me ...im confused now hahah
That was great however if your air gets lost when using this work around and you are on the refresh gji scheme I doubt they will pay out. Just a thought.
I don't remember having seen any logs about FCC/CE mode in the log files they usually ask for. Therefore I believe there will be no issues with taking advantage of the refresh program.
What happends to you home point in this situation?
It works fine - the Home Point is based on measuring from the GPS inside the drone.
Great info and awesome you got the Air
Hey Donnie, thanks a lot! Drone brothers now too! Saw your video of the clouds this morning, awesome scenery.
tech4all thanks so much brother
So this mod is only for those living outside the u.s.? I live in the U.S. and my signal still sucks.
Correct - being in the USA is going to keep you at higher transmission rate, so the mod won't really help you.
Do you fly in a city? I have never had issues with coverage, especially outside urban places.
Try to manually select 5.8G channel. Usually there is less interference at 5.8G
