How do you fly over 400' AGL?

[Hauptmann]

I see a couple of threads about flying over 500 METERS, but I don't even know how to fly over 400 FEET. I generally fly under 300', but there are a few projects in which I need to fly ~ 900' -1,000'. How can I do this?

As you can probably tell, I'm a Noob.

You need to increase the "Set Max Flight Altitude" setting in the "Main Controller Settings" section of DJI GO.

I set mine max and it still only went to 1,000 ft. Would not climb higher.

What happened once you reached 1,000 feet?

Just like it hit a wall. Wouldn't go higher. I brought it back.

Check out your flight log. It should explain what happened.

I'll have to research that in the threads. Don't know how. Thanks.

You can upload your TXT flight logs to my log viewer here. If you need help reviewing it, post a link back here after you upload it.

The FAA PERMITS A COMMERCIAL DRONE OPERATOR THE ACCESS TO 400 feet beside a man made structure and 400 feet above that structure. If the structure in question is man made and existing in Class G Airspace you have no problem. You might have to get DJi to release any height limitations automatically governing the height of your flying potential.
