    Am I no longer able to fly up the side of a mountain?

    My aircraft M2P has a maximum flying altitude of over 16,000 feet so that is NOT the issue. Thanks though. (See Camino Ken reply)

    Am I no longer able to fly up the side of a mountain?

    I was able to reset the maximum height when I was at my house. But apparently no matter what the aircraft altitude above the terrain is, it seems to be limited to the maximum altitude from the home point. So I can never fly up a mountain if it is higher than 1600 ft above my launch altitude. I...

    Am I no longer able to fly up the side of a mountain?

    I use several apps for knowing where I can’t fly. There no restrictions here.

    There is no cell or internet available there.

    Am I no longer able to fly up the side of a mountain?

    I have wanted to climb up Mount Abrams south of Ouray for many years. There is no trail up to the summit but I have identified a few routes I think might work. My desire was to get a closer view from flying the M2P up them and reviewing the video footage.

    Am I no longer able to fly up the side of a mountain?

    You are correct. Thank you. #1) I did get the "Maximum Altitude" to now accept 500m. I do not know why it would not accept a higher value onsite (in the mountains) but I'm home on WiFi now and did make that change (after accepting the required warning in doing so).......(AND.... I do not think...

    This is exactly the area I tried to reset the Maximum Altitude. It refused to accept any value above 120m.

    Am I no longer able to fly up the side of a mountain?

    That is correct. It would not fly higher than 10,200 ft regardless of the fact that the aircraft was only 10m above the actual ground level relative to the position of the aircraft.

    Am I no longer able to fly up the side of a mountain?

    My Smart Controller rejected any attempt to set the maximum altitude above 120m. When I put in something higher it told me that I would have to take responsibility for flying above the limit. I accepted the warming on the app but it then automatically readjusted the maximum altitude to 120m (it...

    Am I no longer able to fly up the side of a mountain?

    Sorry AGL is what I meant. I started at 9800 ft and wanted to fly up the mountain (12,200 ft) along a route I wanted to hike. As I started to fly up the mountain keeping near the hiking trail and the slope of the mountain rose, the aircraft stopped ascending at the 120m limit from my launch...

    Am I no longer able to fly up the side of a mountain?

    Yes, I am using DJI GO 4....on the Smart Controller for my Mavic 2 Pro. I do not fly it much but the last outing a year or so ago I was able to fly up mountain slopes without any problems. Prior to flying this time I updated the software and now I am limited to 120m. That in itself would be OK...

    Am I no longer able to fly up the side of a mountain?

    I just tried to fly up the side of a mountain. The DJI software would not allow my to set the maximum altitude above 120m. I tried to set it higher but it told me I would have to accept responsibility. I said “yes” but then it automatically went back to 120m. The reason I tried to increase it...

    First videos are terrible

    I found I was having the same problem and as I recall it happened AFTER an update. This was about 6 months ago and I have not been able to fly since b/c it is below freezing here with snow and I haven't had and time to try to resolve it. I do suspect it has something to do with the update I...

    Video is jerky no matter how slow I move, turn or maneuver.... this is something new because it did not happen in the past....

    WOW! Great directions and suggestions all! Thanks for everything! Busy at the hospital right now and it snowing and also it’s 14 degrees outside, but I’ll upload a video as soon as I can.

    My SD card is the same as I’ve always had which is the recommended one. My smart controller replay of the video shows the same jerkiness so it has to be with recording within the bird
