[wimapon]

Hi , i am very new in thes forum.
to day is my first day flying with the dji mavic mini.
i see the maximum altitude is 30M... i think caused by the vertical vision system.

My last flight, i could climb to 80 m just after take off. then i decended to 28 m and
the apparatus told me that i could not fly above 30m and indeed it was not possible
to fly higher than 30m..... So i can not understand this.... please help.
i am a experienced pilot whith all kind of drones and model planes.

and where can i find the meaning of all the leds combinations and how to change
things in the app and drone. I only can find a user manual which tell me how
to start the drone from scratch.

Please help me
Wim

Hi there & welcome to the forum ?

Okay Slup,,, thank you very much
I will read it.

Well, i did read the manual.
But there is something wrong, i believe.
After warming up of the drone, i get a green slowly blinking led.
The manul says that this is Mode P with GPS.
But i still can not fly higher than 30m.

So , what to do.. is still like to fly above 30m.

Any of below 5 alternatives that fit ...

1:
To ensure flight safety, after attaching the 360° Propeller Guard, the maximum speed is limited to 8 m/s, the flight altitude is limited to 30 meters, and the flight distance is limited to 50 meters. Make sure to always fly carefully and within line of sight.

2:
When flying while not logged into a DJI account, the flight altitude will be limited to 30 m, and the flight distance will be limited to 50 m.

3:
Height is restricted to 30m when the GPS signal is weak and Downward Vision System is inactive (Aircraft Status indicator blinks green and red alternatively).

4:
You are trying to fly in a GEO zone with height & distance limits.

5:
You either have "beginner mode" activated (not sure if the Fly app have that mode) or a altitude restriction value of 30m in the Fly app. (see pic.)

i do use the propeller guard. But one time i could climb to 70 meter.
How is that possible.....

Take the prop guards off ... they are for indoor use. The will act as sails if kept on outdoors & will make your Mini even weaker & more prone to be caught by winds. Have seen way to many Minis with guards on BlowAway with surprised newbies claiming they couldn't control it ...

okay slup,
i had a good control until now. The wind was 3 today, without any problems. (The voice in the iphone warned
me for too much wind......)
But tomorrow i will remove the prop guards .

anyhow it is very nice to get help , thank you very much.

If the problem is solved i will report that here

Hi slup.
I removed the propellor guard.
There where now some days without wind so i could try the results.
And indeed, i can now fly as high as i like.

Thanks you very much for your help!!!
