Flying uphill

[jayefs]

Hi, I have a Pro Platinum and I live in a hilly area and I read somewhere that the Go 4 app can be set to rise automatically as I fly up the hill - is this correct and if so - how do I set it?

*GO 4 APP MANUAL: DJI Go 4 Manual
In this go toIntelligentent Flight Modes
Terrain Follow Mode: In this mode, the aircraft uses its Downward Vision System to maintain height above ground between 1 and 10 meters. This mode is designed for use on grassland sloped ay no more than 20°. When this mode is turned on the aircraft will record its current height and maintain it as it ascends the slopes. NOTE: the aircraft will not descend on downwards slopes.

Here are a few videos showing how the Terrain Follow mode works:

Thank you for the most informative videos - it looks like the terrain tracking is not what I am looking for.

I was hoping I could set say 200 ft and it would climb up a very long and steep slope at 100 ft altitude.

Perhaps I need to wait for Mavic Pro 7

Best wishes,

Sorry typo - both should read 200 ft

Terrain tracking would not work anyway beyond 30 ft height. Try Litchi Waypoints if you are sure of exact altitudes and distances, else manually set waypoints in DJI Go 4.

Thank you - I will have a look at that
