Hi all,

The slider bar for Max Altitude in my M3P went up to 1000m. For my M4P from Korea (firmware updated to latest as of 2 weeks ago), it only goes to 500m. I still love the drone, but just curious if this is what most are seeing?

Thanks!

500 is the norm. It's illegal in the US to get that high AGL but you can "climb" mountain sides if you can see your drone that far off. Regardless of that, there are areas outside of airports where DJI will allow the drone to fly up to 1000M. I thought that when they removed authorization zones everything changed to 1000M but perhaps not. I can recall times when I would see 1500Ft and other times I'd see 3000ft so I'm not sure what triggered it or if has changed. In any case, your experience is not unique.
