Wikipedia lists the altitude of Bogota as 8660 feet. I think reduced lift related to the lower air density at that altitude is an issue with your payload as well as VRS. I read that DJI is releasing a new prop design to help with VRS which may help some of the issues you are having.

From my reading of this forum, this could well be VRS (Vortex Ring State). Vertical lift is lost because the craft descends into its own down-wash. From your video the Phantom gets unstable then rapidly descends which is what I would expect with VRS. Lifting ability is effected by air density...
