Maintaining altitude

[jayefs]

Is there a way to set an AGL altitude so that wherever the Pro flies it will maintain the same above ground altitude?

I fly in a hilly area and at the moment I have to constantly use the up/down control to maintain the same AGL height

No. The aircraft has no idea of terrain elevation.

There is a "terrain follow" IFM but that only goes up, not down and you've got to be within sonar range of the ground.

Drone harmony have an addition to their app, however its pretty hard to navigate atm.
I have tested it, it works, but there is more to be done to make it user friendly.

Hi Simmo,

Fully agree with you, the functionality / UI is not yet there where it should be. We added a help page, which can help get you started. We will put efforts into improving it further down the road. Feel free to point out any suggestions / ideas on what you think is missing / bad on our ideas portal.

Best,
DH Team

Thanks DH,
I know you have a good team there, and thanks for constantly trying to improve the app. Drone Harmony will only get better I'm sure.

You can do a Litchi waypoint mission and set it up on Google Earth. I have seen several videos on it. This one was pretty good.

Thank you for your reply

I notice there is an option to set maximum height - if I set this at say 50 metres and flew up to 50 metres - would the Pro reduce height if the ground fell away?

No the height is based on the point of takeoff.

2nckayakers Litchi proposal is the solution you need.
