It’s a Mavic 2 zoom and when I first got it I sent it up to its maximum height . I felt very uncomfortable with it being so high but just wanted to see the limit . Even though I am in a rural remote area I can see how dangerous this could be . I am not concerned with the height limit just the...

Thanks mate . I just realised it’s probably the firmware as I am in Australia the nanny state and we are really restricted with height . As soon as I did an update all I could get was 500m limit.

When I first flew my drone it had an altitude of 5000 feet and an incredible distance from home . Now since updates it’s now got 500 feet and really poor distance from home . if I reset back to factory settings will this get back my original distances ?

It said on the news that bloke was at work when the incident occurred and his boss and neighbours backed up his alibi.

Yes that’s it . Too hard on a mobile to go through all the posts .

Thanks all I am now a member and will just wait and see. It looks really interesting as to what will be enabled.

Beauty !! Where do I get it ?

Thanks mate I wish I didn’t update now .

Can anyone point me in the direction of removing the height restrictions on a Mavic 2 zoom ? I want to get my whole property in the picture
