I need help regarding altitude on a saved hyperlapse waypoint mission.
Today I wanted to fly 3 missions back to back to back changing only the interval on a saved mission to see how it affected the result.
First battery: I flew to first waypoint at 300 feet, selected it and made all camera selections for exposure, gimbal, etc. and then flew to second waypoint, also at 300 feet and made all selections. I set interval and video length and then saved the mission to the library. I flew back to the homepoint, landed and changed to a fully charged battery.
Second battery: After changing to this second battery, I took off, after allowing for the home point to be updated and flew up to about 20 feet above the home point and selected my saved mission. The aircraft headed for the first waypoint but only to 282 feet. It ran the mission staying at 282 feet. After completion, I flew back to the same homepoint and changed to battery number 3.
Third battery: Taking off from the same homepoint and selecting the same saved waypoint hyperlapse mission, I changed only the interval from the previous mission from 6 to 7 seconds and started the mission. This time it flew to the first waypoint but only to 252 feet. I left it alone to run the mission and when completed I let it fly to the same waypoint where I changed to batter 4.
Fourth battery:Taking off from the same homepoint and selecting the same saved waypoint hyperlapse mission, I changed only the interval from the previous mission from 7 to 5 seconds and started the mission. This time it flew to the first waypoint but only to 217 feet. I left it alone to run the mission and when completed I let it fly to the same waypoint where I had started each mission.
What could I be doing that doesn’t let the aircraft return to the same altitude each time I select the saved mission? I didn't think it was a huge deal to go from 300 to 282 feet but them to 252 and finally 217? The takeoff point was the same spot each time and the only pause between all flights was the time it took to change batteries. I didn't even pick up the aircraft but changed the battery exactly where it was landing and taking off.
