Mavic 4 Pro height limit

[Bill Lazar]

I have a Mavic 4 Pro and a Mavic 4 Pro Creator. On both, I am able to set the altitude limit to 1000 meters. I crashed my Creator and got a replacement. The slider limit on this drone is 500 meters. Any idea why there is a difference and if I can somehow bypass it? I use it when flying in very remote areas. One difference is that I bought my first two (M4P and M4P Creator) from Adorama early last summer. This replacement was bought just now from Infinity Drones in Florida, so may be a Korean version.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The difference comes from semi recent firmware updates to comply with some countries regulations I think Korea....Just to know you cannot legally fly above 500 ft without a waiver in the U.S. but you can use Drone hacks to bypass the DJI restriction I believe.... use with care!

I have 2 RC 2 Pro controllers. When I switch controllers, the 500 meter altitude limit follows the controller. So there must be some setting on the controller that is setting this limit. Both have GEO zones locked.

what firmware version do each have?

I can legally fly above 500 m from my takeoff point if I'm flying up the ridge of a mountain, for instance. Will this height limit be in effect in the Andes of Argentina and Bolivia? Does anyone know?

Thanks.

By the way, by my switching which drone my controller was connected to, both controllers now have the 500 m limit.

Did you update the firmware on the controller that was 1000m and is now 500m?
