Playing field - Birdseye view on a basketball field at Copacabana
Mavic2 Pro above 4200m - no Problem
Not too long ago we had the chance to fly at a super high altitude. In any case, the DJI drones don't let you fly higher than 500m by default. Independent of where you are. If local restrictions apply it can be only 120m. So when we been in Bolivia in the little city Copacabana we got a little bit of a head start. We are not talking about Rio de Janeiro, Brasil here. Copacabana is right at the Titicaca lake which is located at the border to Peru at an altitude of 3.810 above sea level. It's not that easy actually to find easy places that high above sea level. But that puts you lift of location already high up. Nearby are "little" hills but these are then all easy above 4000m. If you start from there you get close to what DJI would consider the limit of flying with the drone. Here we got to test the capabilities close to the limit. You know what wehave no doubt we could have easily gone beyond 5000m if it would have been unlocked on the drone.
Fun fact to this one.
When reading the exif data the altitude logged in the file reads:
119220333,3 m
That would be awesome - but to bad that was a bug by DJI
