Mal, in case you haven't noticed. If it ain't serious, we're joking about it.
And I prefer to think of myself as a 5 year old.

I'm in Australia and we're using metres for almost everything else here, so I've been to 121 metres (the 400 foot limit). I'd tried to stop at 120m, but the altitude reading was fluctuating a bit, so it jumped up and down from 120 to 121 quite a bit without any change in where I was trying to position it. So I'll say I've been to 121, though I was aiming to go to 120
I've honestly never needed to go higher than that, as that's more than high enough for my needs; any photo taken much above that starts to lack much detail, and starts to look like something a plane or balloon could have taken. I don't want to look like run of the mill plane photography, I really LIKE the photography at the 50 - 100 metre mark, because that is unique. You never see photos taken at those altitudes EXCEPT from drones. It's a totally unique viewpoint that, to me, really catches attention.
I've seen a Phantom and an Inspire legally go to around 500 metres (1500 feet) when a photography company here got authorisation from CASA to fly at that height AND AT NIGHT for a fireworks display. So I know they can get to at least that height.
I've had mine horizontally out to almost a mile, so in theory you could also get it vertically to that height. Anyone want to join the mile high club? Oh, that's right, that's a different club.
(Hmmm... I wonder if two people wearing FPV goggles, getting the same transmission from a quad at that height, while doing specific things on the ground, would be classed as having joined that club?)
