Whats the highest you took a picture from?

[Prmath]

400 feet above the Gulf of Mexico

That wasn't my video. That's that other guys ‍lol

Sorry NATEHAWK new at this and clicked the wrong one. I am sure he read it.

Pretty ballsy if some of you are flying up well into commercial aircraft territory to get a picture! Where are you flying that allows altitudes over 400-500ft?

Highest I have flown is around 200-300ft, I don't think I've ever needed more.

I guess the only way I would take my drone to 1800' would be to start off in an underground hole 1800' deep. I would still be at 1800' AHOL (Above hole level) but zero feet AGL. lol

LOL!

Actually, that wouldn't be right. You would still be 1800AGL, as the ground below the drone would be the hole. You could fly up out of the hole to 1801' and move laterally till not over the hole and you would be 1' AGL. Unfortunately you would then probably be beyond VLOS. You dug your hole for nothing. And now you have a really big pile of dirt to deal with. Take my advice and don't bother with the hole. But it was a nice thought.

I hand launched at 4100m and gained another 300m buzzing around the volcano. I was freezing and the wind was increasing...didn't want to lose the bird after climbing for six hours to get there. The MA flew very well, albeit more slowly for lack of atmospheric density.

This was after many attempts to clear the continual compass reset request, the volcanic rock exerting an uber magnetic field.

WOW, if that was in the US, how many rules were broken? Sorry the music was terrible. And take the gimble cover off next time.

Unless he is a natural born Mexican and has his military discharge papers he also broke the law in Mexico.

 

[JanB]

had been higher than that (about 3500m) but no proof for those about 4000m... where might it been? and yes, I am mental, ask my wife she will confirm...

 

[Porky]

Remember guys what the regs are

 

[netfolks2000]

8% is plenty left on the Air, especially when descending over the home point.

5km+ with MP1s.

I don't understand the "freefall" comment. Does that mean you shut down the motors and just fell for a few hundred feet and then started up again????

 

[JanB]

You won an used paper bag - you only pretend not to understand...

 

[Tony Kiburis]

Did you get permission from a FAA controller to bust the 400 AGL limit?
If you DID NOT, you were flying in manned aircraft space & could have caused a terrible accident.
You broke the law.
Doing this gives the opponents of drone flying ammunition to impose stricter limits on all of us drone pilots.

Now two things. Don't understand the rudeness either.

NF2000, it’s poor parental upbringing......... I’ve thought the same thing

"If'' it was in the US, none. This has been discussed in depth.

1000 meters 3dr solo Aruba no rules on altitude

 

[Fred Schnepel]

Signed the forms for the FAA with $5 over two weeks ago, but haven’t heard a thing. About how long does it usually take?

 

[JanB]

got another one...

When flying with the Mavic Pro at about 4000m something passed nearby. I was terrified because at first I thaught it is another plane or even a drone. But then I saw it was true what was said here before THEY ARE HERE!....
but see yourself:
