That being the case, you should not even have to change anything. 400ft, is 400ft. from sea level to the mountain top. As you said. All based on takeoff location.And in all reality, the 500M limit is from point of takeoff, so it doesn't take someone knowing how to open up the max limit to get into airspace...
I'm not in the US, and am not talking about the 400ft recommendation at all.This is assuming you are in the US. Otherwise consult your regulating authority.
Well actually there is when your trying to scout out a mountain that is 2500 ft and you can only make it part way up. I'm pretty sure there are no airplanes going to be anywhere near the mountainside. If there is, then they have much bigger problems

I beleave you have been given your answer . Downgrading firmware is one thing but changing the parameters to change NFZ's.height restrictions or anything else will not be allowed and you will find your self like in the DJI forum .I seem to have gotten blocked by DJI for telling other users how to downgrade their firmware and that I know how to unlock the max altitude (didn't tell them how). Is this ok discussion here? Or is it not allowed?
While current US law holds site owners harmless for such discussions it is their site to determine what they wish to allow.Are there any sites that real life scenarios like this and ways to achieve them can be discussed openly? It seems like the policing of even discussing this has gone way too far because of some idiots that want to do crazy stuff and not remain responsible.
If DJI really wanted to keep these drones safe, they wouldn't have a 500m altitude cap with miles of distance capabilities. The drones already come capable of exceeding most rules for most countries. So why not be allowed to talk about responsible ways to use them to their full potential.
All good, thanks for everyone's feedback. I guess this isn't the place either though
I'm sure there are sites out there that won't require my creation of one.. But thanks.While current US law holds site owners harmless for such discussions it is their site to determine what they wish to allow.
Start your own site where YOU make the rules then you can do as you wish.
