Thx - don't have great eyes so trying to find a way to call it out or make it larger.
On at some hardware, there's an option in the DJI Fly app to increase the size of text on the screen. Have you run across that?
I'm fairly confident the FAA would require you to be able to know your altitude but perhaps they're fine with just being able to see the drone and make a judgement. That certainly would not be the case in controlled areas where you're limited to 100 or 200 feet (whatever). Hope you work this out. Best to ya.
Try bifocals.
I also have great distance vision , but need glasses for things at arms length and closer. I have used bifocal glasses for flying for years. I also found progressive lenses to be vertigo inducing.
This vertigo business with varifocals is caused by too narrow a working zone in the centre of the lens. Try Zeiss lenses with a much wider ‘sweet spot’.
Costco also makes progressive lenses similar to the Varilux line that have a wider center. And they're much more affordable. I've been wearing them for years.
I'm the same, I keep my reading glasses hanging on my collar in case I need to read the little letters. I preset my altitude to limit my altitude to where I'm flying. I usually am in a 400' area and I have set my controller to 395'. my crone will not go above that height. I change that only if I'm flying in a lower max alt zone or if I know I'm climbing the side of a hill following the geography.
I see you’re in New England but I didn’t realise that personal witches had an altitude limit!
I had cataract surgery that gave me 20-20 distance vision, but need reading glasses up close....I bought progressive glasses that work great for distance and my controller at the end of the lanyard.
I'm someone looking into getting the Mini 4 Pro and have been reading over a bunch of threads on here trying to understand the new height restrictions. I know the legal altitude AGL is set to 120 meter, but can you over ride this to climb elevation near large hills and mountains? I live in the middle of the appalachian mountains and there are large hills or small mountains everywhere, so a 120 meter limit would limit my usage of the drone pretty drastically. Of course, I would never exceed the 120 meter AGL limit no matter where I was for safety reasons, but I would need to override that limit In order to climb over hills and small mountains that would take me above 120 meters AGL relative to my launch position. Is this possible in 2025? And if so, can that message be cleared off the screen while retaining full operability of the drone?
Excellent.... Worth another one...I see you’re in New England but I didn’t realise that personal witches had an altitude limit!
Sadly: no. But a verbal notification "...max altitude reached..." would be a pretty handy feature.
