Max Altitude?

[BillyBoot]

Whats the Max Altitude out-of-the-box my new drone will go?

 

[msinger]

The max altitude is 500 meters above the takeoff location.

I think out of the box it's set at 120m. You can increase up to 500m.
But if it's new, beginner mode might be on, so 30m.

If you want to get technical about it, it's set to 30 meters since Beginner Mode is enabled by default.

Worry about what's legal first, last thing you want to do is bring down a helicopter or whatever. In the UK the legal max is 120m, I set mine at 115m.

500m?... I live n the USA but when I was flying my Mavic Pro earlier today I put it in the shy and I could not see my drone but when I looked down at my DJI GO 4 app. the altitude numbers were 9057.. Is that meters or what? I am new to the drone stuff.... Finally I hit RTH and it took quite a long time to get back.... I am a newbie.

When in doubt, read the manual: https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/mavic/20171219/Mavic Pro User Manual V2.0.pdf

You sure? Mine wasn't, and it actually defaulted back to normal everytime I flew it. I suspect.its changed.because I thought by default, it should be in beginner mode but mine needs setting so, every time.

 

[msinger]

You sure?

Yep. When you activate a new aircraft in DJI GO, Beginner Mode is toggled to the on position.

You need to watch a lot of videos, in settings you can have it in metres or feet. I doubt it was metres, there's a you tube video of one going 2000 metres and that's seriously high, it consumed vast amounts of battery power, but you need To set your max altitude and Start off in beginner mode..

I'm assuming it was feet. If meters, your Mavic would have started to auto land when it was too high to safely return home.

How high is 9057 in altitude on the DJI GO 4 App

No way it's 9000m. the battery is not enough to get it that high. 9000ft? How long did you had the throttle fully up for? Fell asleep with the foot down, i mean thumb up?

9057 feet

OMG your kidding me.

 

[msinger]

OMG your kidding me.

I think you are the one kidding everyone else here

 

[RayOZ]

Are you sure it's altitude or is it distance?

 

[FL1H1]

Yep. When you activate a new aircraft in DJI GO, Beginner Mode is toggled to the on position.

I'm 99% certain my relatively new one wasn't! And for sure, I set it so to beginner mode .to discover on my second flight it had reverted back to normal as I wasn't expecting that. Beginner mode for me at least, always has to be set so.

 

[BillyBoot]

I took almost 15 minutes to come back when I hit RTH.
