Reducing Take Off Altitude

[Meneer]

Hi Guys,

Just a quick one, how do I reduce the take off height from the standard 1.2m to something like 0.5m or something like that? I tried looking at settings to no avail.

Thanks in advance

Launch manually and you can go as high or low as you want.

Not sure what you are asking here? Do you mean the hover height after TO?

If it's measuring from controller to ground, I guess you could hold the controller at ground level when taking off.

Height is measured by the drone at the takeoff point, so 0 is always measured from the takeoff point.

Don’t know for sure what happens when the operator resets the Home Point when in flight.

You can do it one of two ways. First one is use manual as Meta4 had said or use the drone-hacks free editor and change your default height to what you want.

Resetting the home point makes no change to the zero height, which stays the same.

Just take off manually.

I did not know I could do that!

I always land manually but never knew I could take off manually. Thank you guys! Now I can launch from indide of my car's boot without hitting the hatch

Launching from a car is potentially hazardous.
It's a good idea to keep the drone away from steel objects when powering up and launching.
