My P3P arrives today. Reading the specks in the manual the maximum height is listed as 6000m. Is this a typo?
People do lots of things that aren't suggested by DJIThere's video of a Phantom flaying at Mt. Everest base camp (+17,000 ft.)
You don't even need radio reach. You can use some alternate apps to set it to fly a mission out of radio reach, and go that high... Just be prepared for it to run out of battery before it comes back and you loose it for good.Technically speaking, it can reach as far as the battery and radio will reach. You could always mod your Phantom to attach more batteries and/or increase the radio reception with better antennas.
Out of the box, no, it's impossible. I doubt DJI will ever allow a Phantom to fly over 500m high.
Good point. I wonder if the DJI API will restrict the altitude too.You don't even need radio reach
It does. That is why I mentioned Alternate AppsGood point. I wonder if the DJI API will restrict the altitude too.

Sorry, not all of us are from English speaking countries.Or even LOSE it for good.
Previously I could set the maximum height to 0 in the iOS app but since updating recently it's limited to 500m (even if I set 0). It's a shame as I got some great shots at high altitude on the P2V. Hope DJI will re-consider this limit.Technically speaking, it can reach as far as the battery and radio will reach.

6000m is 19,685' Base camp is under that... 5200mIt's not about battery capacity or control duration but air density.
What if you're already at altitude???
