MAVIC 4: Question About Altitude Limit After Firmware Update

[mountain]

Hey, just wondering - does the 1000m altitude limit go away after a firmware update? I haven’t updated anything yet, it’s all still on factory settings. Got it on day one of the official launch.

Thanks in advance for any info!

I have not heard that anywhere but have no place nearby where I can test it. There is a mountainside south of me where I can climb up alongside it keeping 400ft AGL but truth be told you can't (at least I can't) get to that altitude and remain VLOS anyway. Previously the ability to get that high only applied to areas well away from any airport. I also don't know if I can blast past the lower 1500foot limit....in regular airspace.

Even with GEO deleted in the U.S., we still have a 1000m altitude limit on the Mavic 4 Pro, Mavic 3 Series, and Air 3S. All others are still limited to 500m.

So, depending upon Croatian GEO, you may still be limited to 500m unless over 50km from the nearest airport, in which case it increases to 1000m, but never higher. FW updates shouldn't change it. In any event, GEO is in the separate FlySafe database, and not in aircraft updates.
