Altitude limit

[Shunopoli]

I am not sure what happened and this is the first I have see of it. I went out to my buddies lake hose and received a message that you have reached an altitude limit. I was only at like 334 feet and the controller an I where on the same level ground. Granted I did get message to update the fly zones, but I ignored that cause it was taking to long to download. Could this be the reason?

Are you sure it said altitude and not attitude?

 

[Simmo]

This setting??

 

[Shunopoli]

Now that you say this I’m not sure! Does this rest when you do a firmware update?

 

[Simmo]

Yeah I think default is 120 mtrs, whish is 300 odd feet?

It was probably windy way up there and you probably got an attitude warning which just means the drone has to pitch so far to maintain position that some of the sensors won't work properly because the angle is too steep. That would be the first thing to check. It's less likely you had your altitude cap set at exactly 334ft but you can check that too.

Neither has anything to do with firmware and would be considered functioning normally.

Usually it will say, “maximum altitude reached. You can adjust the altitude limit in the main controller setting.” I can also confirm the max altitude is reset on a firmware update sometimes but it is reset to 394 feet(120 meters)not 343 feet.

It's easy enough to check what the message was and other details by looking at your recorded flight data.
