This was the best I could do. -445m/1460' from the home point. I maybe could have gotten another meter out of it. HahaOn Flytrex there is a whole set of "Diver" badges for when you fly below your takeoff point. http://www.flytrex.com/badges/

Good to know. I need more time to mess around with those free online tools like Flytrex, HealthDrones, and..... crap, what's the other one for viewing your flight data and possibly overlaying on the FPV? Damnit. My mind went blank.Wow! Almost 1500' below the home point. That's the most I've ever seen. Nice! Now that Flytrex supports native P3 .txt files (from the mobile device) you could create a free account there and upload this for everyone to see.
Oh wow! That's a lot of planning. But, makes sense to protect your investment. Maybe one day I'll plan those, but for now, my stuff is mostly random. I'll post the video from the -445m later tonight.You are a brave man acherman to do those flights of yours with all those trees, canyons and cliffs by the seat of your pants. People think I have steel ones!
This is what I do, also taking into account time of day, shadows and sun angle:
Flyrex log display is pretty cool. Just uploaded 8 flights for fun. Knocked off 28 badges right away. haha I love the max speeds that it shows. My max is 101.39 km/hr - 63 mph. Sweet. must have been a good tail wind.Wow! Almost 1500' below the home point. That's the most I've ever seen. Nice!

So now i need an Android device? HahaThese mountain summits were 2.6 miles (4.2km) away from where I could park with the summits 2300 feet above take off. This is a case and point where the 500 meter limit is simply inadequate. I set my maximum altitude to 2500 feet (762 meters) in Litchi and then launched DJI Go. To keep my flights under 15 minutes I couldn't spend much time up at the summit, and these flights were mostly just a test to make sure the Phantom performed as expected in these extreme conditions before I go into much more picturesque but difficult terrain.
Wow! Impressive. I just know I would crash my P3 into a tree if I were up there.So now i need an Android device? Haha
Here is my -445m flight with the telemetry. Way too many steps to get this.
That would be quite a feat! It would take you 6 minutes up and 9 minutes down to go 5500 vertical feet. That doesn't leave much battery left for much else. Also I doubt the P3 would have the same kind of performance at altitude.I live right along the continental divide in Colorado with the Gore Range behind my house and Eagle's Nest Wildlife Area in my back yard. Peaks there average about 13,500 feet ASL I live at 8000 ASL. You do the math. I need about 5500 feet AGL if I plan on a summit trip. Of course most planes flying in my airspace are quite a bit higher than the peaks around, unless they are flying through the valleys and that would be a bit nerve wracking for a pilot and passengers I would think.

Yah, what the hell, I didn't notice that. The video was super smooth (had the SRP ND8 filter on) so I'm sure I did have YouTube stabalize. I'll have to check and reupload.That's a great flight!! The top of the video is cut off on my screen. Maybe did you let youtube "fix" shakiness? You shouldn't do that is you have any overlays on the video.
