distance limitations pre set?

[Markc_66]

i was out in the middle of nowhere last month and my mpp would only go about 1,500' in any direction and only 400' high. someone suggested it was settings in the dji go4 app. i have never set any since getting my drone last month. are these efault settings? i was not in beginner mode.

400’ is definitely the default height in the US. The FAA would really like if you didn’t go higher. Not sure about distance but it’s in meters so it’s not 1500’. At any rate these are easy to change in the Go 4 app.

You can increase the altitude limit to 500 meters (1640 feet) and can turn the distance limit off entirely.

When you do change your settings be sure all is powered up so the #'s will stick or they won't .

One tip: it is important to note that the guidelines are 400 feet AGL (above ground level). Since the setting is based off of height above where you take off, it is very useful to have this set higher so you can deal with terrain changes and still stay within the guidelines. Since I live and usually fly in mountainous terrain, I set it to the max and just do my best to follow the guidelines.
