How about this question:
can beach weather affect barometric altimeter
Response:
Yes, beach weather significantly affects barometric altimeters because they measure altitude by sensing changes in air pressure, and weather systems (like storms...
More likely both. The OP says the drone was descending and that the altimeter readout on the display had begun to show red (a value below launch elevation) when the drone crashed.
If you saw 10 ft in orange letters on your screen capture,then I guess your drone must have been 10 feet above the sea (for the fraction of a second when that screen shot shows).
It seems that you've not learned a thing from any of your lost...
How about this question:
Our man swears to his 10 feet above wave..correct?
He is basing his altitude from takeoff. Assuming it is beach elevation, let's call that 0 feet AGL...?
Waves in video looked to be 8 to 10 feet at least, correct...
This one may be a lost cause. In complete denial. If he could see that he has been reckless he would wreck less. Until then they will continue to drop, 9 then 10 then . . . .
