    My first cycling with mavic pro

    Did it actually track you around the hairpin bends when you went back on yourself? I noticed the film stopping then restarting a couple of times.

    Can I set ALTITUDE above mean sea level instead of HEIGHT above ground level.

    When you get down to CPT again it may be worth filming Boulder Bay where the penguins are and the Botanic Gardens. I loved your footage of Table Top Mountain with its tablecloth on

    Can I set ALTITUDE above mean sea level instead of HEIGHT above ground level.

    Some great footage particularly CPT near the sea with the waves breaking over the rocks. Were you using the Mavic zoom? I watched them on my big 66 inch screen TV and the quality was excellent What video setting did you use please? Thanks for sharing.

    Can I set ALTITUDE above mean sea level instead of HEIGHT above ground level.

    Thank you. As a BA pilot, I often visited JNB. so am familiar with QFE, QNH etc. Basically all the drone will ever read is height above take-off point. You have some spectacular scenery in Africa so I guess you get some great footage. One day i’d love to return and visit JNB, Durban and then...

    Can I set ALTITUDE above mean sea level instead of HEIGHT above ground level.

    Great photo. Yes, I was thinking I would descend to get a photo, hopefully as good as yours. IF I knew my altitude was say 200 ft above sea level on launch I would not descend to a figure greater than say -180 ft. when over the sea. I have noted the other useful comments here reference the...

    Can I set ALTITUDE above mean sea level instead of HEIGHT above ground level.

    Yes, I can see it but difficult to judge how high above the water it is!

    Can I set ALTITUDE above mean sea level instead of HEIGHT above ground level.

    That's what I thought. As a professional pilot, we used altitude as a reference after take-off and thought it would be useful information for the drone. All I can do then is note my altitude from GPS before take-off and then not descend more than that figure when over the sea?

    Can I set ALTITUDE above mean sea level instead of HEIGHT above ground level.

    I often fly my Mavic Pro 2 from a high point near the sea and it reads height above take-off point. I would like to descend closer to the sea to video boats etc. Is there any way to change the setting so it reads altitude, please? If not any tips as to how to descend the drone without getting...

    Footage will not open...with anything??

    Don't give up. There are some programmes around that are supposed to fix that sort of thing. Sorry, I don't know any by name. Have you tried copying and pasting it to a different location and/or downloading it through the controller?
