1000 m high altitute flight - Buying Advice

[Droning on and on...]

You have to land in an area where you still have a lear line of sight to the drone, and turn off the motors, and immediately restart to reset the home point. Drone is never powered off, but you still must have full signal connection for the restart of the motors. Plan the spot carefully in advance, perhaps by flying from the spot of your interim landing to your planned final start location. Obviously, it needs to be an elevated flat area midway. It can be done.

Also immediately move the HP back to where you are via the map feature for setting the HP. This won't alter the new height limit, but it will bring the drone back to you if something happens and you lose your connection.

This whole landing half way and then getting up again is not an option for me. The vulcano is extremely steep and there are no places to land. Also if something goes wrong there will be no way to recover the drone. There is a 4km radius now, last 6, where it’s strictly forbidden to enter, it’s guarded by the military, my only chance is to get as high as possible until the last military checkpoint and then take off. If I’m lucky that’s 1000m below the crater but maybe also 1500m below the crater. So if I would go up 1000m the middle of the crater would still be 4km away. Which would be ok with a longer lens
