Drawing a blank looking on the DJI forum so hoping someone might be able to help.

Bought a DJi Mini 4 Pro and it seems to be adding GPS EXIF data to every file.

I don’t really want the GPS location on by default and can’t find a way to stop it being included. Does anyone know if there is one?

I don't believe there is a way to stop this but unless you're planning covert observational operations, there's no need anyway.

The data takes up a tiny amount of space and when you bring the clips into your editing platforms and then export the final film, you can disable the meta data if you wish at that point.

Thanks - I feared as much - but it would be genuinely useful for me to not have to go through a process to remove the geo data if the drone were to be used in connection with one of the projects/groups I work with.

I've not tried it and not sure if this will work with the Mini 4 but flying the thing fully manually means you're on your own when it comes to tracking so this may disable the GPS recording.
