From 10,800 feet - (Colorado) to Sea level (Texas)

[Pontoon-pilot]

We put a few thousand miles in our RV in the past three weeks going from Pagosa Spring Colorado through New Mexico to Port Aransas in Texas and many places in between.
A good swing in elevation from 10,800 at Wolfcreek pass with snow on the ground, down to sea level in the Texas coast.
All of these are unedited just the way nature presents it and seen through the lens my Mavic pro 2 with a swapped zoom camera.
I've taken a few hundred pictures.
I will start with what seems to me as the best picture.

10 pictures attached.

Nice pics

Heres a Big Question ...
What flight time were you getting in Colorado at the Maximum time per Battery - Compared to that at sea Level???

Thanks.
I was not paying attention to battery time, I paid attention to battery level.
I figured battery time is what it is.
Also, to do a fair comparison, I would have had to let it hover at... say 400 feet. I used a lot of sport mode.

Air is thinner in higher altitude requires more power and props faster meaning faster battery drain...

I just flew in Colorado at 12,000’ this month.

I found the acceleration of the MP2 sluggish.
It didn’t fly as fast.
I usually go home at 30%, and this occured quicker, so I estimate that I lost 2-3 minutes of flight time.
The conditions were light winds and sunny, quite bright actually and I wish that I would have installed ND filters on the lens.

Hope this helps.

thanks,
No, the VW bus just a random incident (call it serendipity if you will ) just a group of folks were coming into the camp area. The bus was in really good shape.
