Altitude Alarm or Alerting System?

[Florida Drone Supply]

Obstacle sensing and collision avoidance seems to continue to get better, but we're wondering if any pilots know of an altitude alarm or buffer that you can set.

The situation is for a client who knows there are electrical cables at a certain altitude and wants to be more aware of their presence. Is there an alarm or buffer that can be used alongside a laser altimeter, that will alert the pilot within a certain altitude range?

This may be an idea for the DJI R&D team!

Thank you for any input you can provide!

This is not possible in DJI GO if that's what you're wondering.

The closest you can come to this now is to set a maximum height in Go 4. It may be of little use unless the area is very flat considering that the measurement starts at zero at the home point, is relative only to the home point, and not an actual above ground altitude.

Not looking to limit the height completely. What they are looking to do is avoid a certain band of altitude. For example 65-75 feet. Or, at least get a warning of some type when they are in their altitude band that they know they need to be cautious in (especially knowing certain wires can not be seen by obstacle avoidance sensors). We were thinking about a 3 party laser altimeter if we could get feedback and height zone alarms out of it.
