Elevation above ground during flight.

Robert Silvers

If I set a flight to be 200 AGL, and the ground elevation changes - will the drone adjust during the flight?

So lets say that I fly 1500 feet away, and the elevation at take off is at sea level, but the elevation 1500 feet away is 100 feet, will the drone go to 300 feet MSL at the waypoint, or will it stay at 200 above the take-off location?

Also, how does Dronelink handle this vs DGI's native stuff?

Thank you.

    It is exactly the same as DJI, all altitudes are ATL (above takeoff location). AGL and Terrain Follow are on the roadmap.

    Robert, so that means no, it does not adjust during flight because all elevation is related to your take off point, you have to set alternative heights.

    you need to review the concept videos, one of them explains it perfectly, in particular the difference between rising and only then moving horizontally once achieved +/- height parameters and also alternatively moving from eg 100’ to 300’ diagonally upwards - if it’s safe to do so.

    dont think it isn’t complex because it is until it isn’t ;-)

    preview the concepts and then try a simple mission preview, good luck,

    I can live with this. I mostly wanted to know what it did rather than requiring it to adjust.
