DJI drones support several regulatory modes — FCC (US, Canada and a few others) and CE (Europe and most other countries) are the main two, with FCC being the most powerful.
CE is far stricter: the drone has to pull its radios way down, which costs you range and makes the link less reliable behind trees or buildings — especially on 5.8 GHz, the band you rely on in cities. Exact figures depend on your drone, and every drone page shows them.
The Drone Tweaks app switches your drone to full FCC power and unlocks bands some countries disable — 5.8 GHz in Russia and Israel, for example.
Already flying in an FCC country? Your drone already transmits at full power there — but travel to Europe and it would normally drop back to CE. The Drone Tweaks app keeps it in full FCC wherever you fly. Power, though, is only part of what the app does.
Depending on your model, it also unlocks:
- Altitude beyond the stock limit
- Higher top speed
- Full LED control
- Clean Screen
- ATTI mode and GPS-off mode
- No ActiveTrack distance limit — on drone models that already support ActiveTrack
- Autonomous waypoint missions — on drone models that already support waypoint missions
- 4G transmission (coming soon)
The exact gains for your model are listed on its drone page.
How it works
Drone Tweaks installs as its own app on the DJI RC Pro and DJI RC Pro 2 — one app, unlimited drones. There is no special procedure before you fly: open the app, take off, and you are in FCC.
This app is built for the DJI RC Pro and DJI RC Pro 2 only.
Updates & support
The license covers one controller for 12 months, with free updates included. Updates land a few days after DJI release theirs, provided nothing in them breaks the app.
The current version switches every consumer drone into FCC on its current firmware. Future firmware is updated at your own risk — in unlikely cases the unlock can be lost.
Raising transmission power without permission is illegal in most places. We recommend always following your local rules and regulations.
