I am needing to know how to change the height that my drone will go. It only allows me to go 120m but I would like to set it up to go the maximum distance.
Any higher that that I doubt you would be able to see it?!I am needing to know how to change the height that my drone will go. It only allows me to go 120m but I would like to set it up to go the maximum distance.

WTF? Are you trying to bring down an airliner? 400ft or is the maximum legal altitude for drones. I think 600ft is minimum altitude for manned aircraft.
If you are addressing me what I set my app at is for me to choose .WTF? Are you trying to bring down an airliner? 400ft or is the maximum legal altitude for drones. I think 600ft is minimum altitude for manned aircraft.
Believe he was addressing me .Of course we don't know the OP's intentions so you are right to point out the legal limit AGL.
Should have told him but that was my bad.WTF?
So true. I might be up the side of a mountain 800' from launch point but be barely above the tree line and still have my quad w/i view.It's 400ft/120m above ground level where the drone is (in most countries). The drone height is measured from the take off point, so there are plenty situations where you fly above 120m from take off point but still be within 120m of the ground level, e.g. flying up the side of a hill, which would be totally legal.
True... and in instances where I need to go even higher relative to original TO altitude I will land and takeoff again, thus resetting the max altitude from the new TO point. Still maintaining legal altitude.So true. I might be up the side of a mountain 800' from launch point but be barely above the tree line and still have my quad w/i view.
500 ft is the min for manned aircraftWTF? Are you trying to bring down an airliner? 400ft or is the maximum legal altitude for drones. I think 600ft is minimum altitude for manned aircraft.
In Canada, the minimum altitude outside cities is 500ft for manned aircraft, 1000ft above cities. That’s why 400ft is the maximum legal altitude for drones.WTF?

is there an ‘alarm’ that can be set to warn a pilot he’s exceeding the 400 AGL limit (within the app)? Again, that depth perception thingy at distance is hard to judge when flying up a mountain at 500 out.
Will you be able to "see" your bird at 120 metres, never mind at higher altitudes?
I agree with the idea of a strobe that can be seen from the ground. Trouble is, at the moment there is simply not enough real estate on DJI or Yuneec UAVs, which I fly, on the underside of the fuselage to place a strobe unit.It is very hard to see at that height . . . strobes are a good idea for that, one placed so it is visible from the ground.

121m is legal and still within sight.Any higher that that I doubt you would be able to see it?!
