This guy picked up ice on his propellers!

So if that happens, how do you recover from an engine shutdown?

I don’t know, maybe he used the emergency CSC to restart the props assuming the drone was in the right orientation.

Here's an interesting video about flying above 400 feet:

Pretty useless on newer drones... In my photography on the Superstition Mtns I just went into prefs and set max altitude to the 1600 meter limit. Since I was within 400’ of the mountains always it is also, unlike the illustration in the vid, completely legal.

Thank you all for your answers. I knew about 3000m limit but actually I didn't expect it will trigger that kind of message at 2200 already.
I wonder how wind is thinner here 2200m or sea level. What I wonder is at which altitude will start trigger this message like 1000m or so

I do not know specifically at what air pressure / attitude will generate a warning message. However here is a graph showing air pressure vs attitude. You will see air density is 20% less at 2000m vs sea level.

I wonder if there may have been a smog factor come into play!?! My understanding is that there is a clean air problem in MC. Just wondering.

I wonder that too hahahaha
Place where I live is free is smog so I’m not sure. I believe it’s some imperfections of MM app. Like someone mentioned it’s take GPS altitude that pop up msg “high altitude... etc.”

I got the same message after the last update, in places where I had already flown without any problem

I see that message all the time as I mostly fly between 7500' - 8000' but sometimes as high as 11k' or higher.

Hello
Yesterday with Mavic Mini I got this msg.
High altitude flight, aircraft braking distance is extended, flight time is shortened, Fly with caution (code 30238)
I have to mention I was in Mexico City at altitude 2230m
I wonder what this mean.
I found Mini has 3000m max but I was under that limit,
Appreciate any comments
Thanks View attachment 87107

Ihave the same message every time i fly and i live in Colorado near 6000 feet or 1800 meters and i think as well that the messgae should not be there. My friend has flown his Mini at same altitude and never has had that message.

I get this message all the time, because I live and usually start the MM at 3000 meters / 9800 feet.
The "Service Ceiling" of the MM - according to the DJI specs website - is not 3000 meter.
It says "Maximum Takeoff Altitude 3000 m"
