Just like the title asks.... Is there a setting or switch to void out the 395' flight altitude max?
Not that I would ever violate the FCC limit

Yes, don't disable GPS flight.Jeremyconk said:Just like the title asks.... Is there a setting or switch to void out the 395' flight altitude max?
This is neither an FCC nor FAA limit. It is a self-imposed limit established by DJI based on an FAA aircraft regulation (14 CFR 91.119) that generally prohibits aircraft from descending below 500 ft AGL except to land ...Jeremyconk said:Not that I would ever violate the FCC limit

The 394 ft (120m) limit only applies to non-GPS flight. In normal, GPS flight, the limits are set by the assistant software. The default is 1,300 ft (400m) height. The video at http://www.dji.com/fly-safe/category-mc has more detail.

Here's another explanation of the limit:

You're confusing the options. The flight safety feature is different than the flight limits or gefense options. And when flying in non GPS mode with the new firmware their ka a mandatory flight altitude limit, only manual mode flight overrides these features and most people should not use manual mode flight as you may crash your expensive bird if not competent or careful.
I need to hear back from someone who has already made the assistant and firmware upgrade if the flight safety section has a disable option.
I see no reason to upgrade app or software the only thing that could've been useful is the repeater battery level and that does not work. I am totally happy with the performance of mine as it is.neiloakley said:I'm going to be sticking on V2 forever. It works on my iPad with GS, and i can plot routes and let it do it's thing. Something else significantly good must come along for me to 'upgrade' to 3 and be further restricted about where i can fly.
Mossie said:Yes reading that new manual again it says as posted previously.
If your not constrained by a no fly zone,
In GPS mode your height limit is set by whatever you have set in Assistant software. If you are in Att your limit is 120 mtrs.
I presume if your at 3000 ft in GPS and switch the S1 switch to Att, it will descend to 120 mtrs.I'll test that this afternoon .
