Altitude

[Starkey]

Hi Everyone
New to the Mavic 2 (just traded up from a GoPro Karma)
Loving the new tech but just had a question.
Taking off from a hill the altitude is set there and when flying down to the ocean I am in the negative numbers.
Anyway to set it to sea level?

Cheers

Turn on and launch from sea level.
I often take off from a small hill to allow me to fly over an object taller than about 1600’ ( staying 400’ or less above the ground). So there are pros and cons. Don’t let the negative numbers bother you.

Thanks Tom
It is more of a cliff area so can’t get down to the water but all good will just keep a close eye on the rocks

Cheers

Make sure your RTH altitude param is set to a positive elevation well above the cliff edge --- just in case.

You cannot set the RTH height to less than 20 m.

Right, saying ''positive' was redundant. ;-)
