    RTH minimum altitude of 20m...why so high?

    We just purchased a Mavic for a shoot in which we will be following ATVs along a mountain trail with trees all around us and above us (we'll be under the canopy). If the drone flies upward 20m for any kind of RTH, it's going to end up stuck in a tree. I'm unclear on why the minimum RTH is so...

    I have my bird set to a RTH altitude of 30 meters (at least that's what the display says). I also have unit of measurement set to imperial (united states). When I was testing my RTH function, it seems to only go to a height of 30 feet instead of 30 meters. is it true that when the system is...

    Judging Horizontal and Vertical Distances

    I have been flying the Mavic for about 2 months now and have accumulated a little over 4 hours total flight time. I am having a very difficult time getting over the fear of crashing this thing and much of the fear comes from my inability to determine distance from an object horizontally and...

    FAA AGL 400' but what if you are on a ridge at 850', fly at 1250'?

    Hey Mavic owners or soon to be! I live on a ridge in Hawaii at 850' above sea level. Under the FAA rules, can I fly my drone at 1250' (850' + 400' AGL)? What if I fly over a valley that is at sea level no more than 150 yards from my house, do I have to bring the drone down to 400'? Last...
