Image Altitude record in Air 2 vs Air 2s

Hi everyone. I recently had the chance to fly a DJI Air 2s and noticed that in the images' Exif info the GPSaltitude value is recorded as above sea level (e g. 394.20 m), rather than above ground level as it is recorded in my Mavic Air 2 (e.g. 61.10 m). I was wondering if this might be a limitation for photogrametry with this drone in case the DJI SDK is released. Thanks so much for your time! And Merry Christmas for all the Dronelink family!

Doesn’t really matter what the photo info says. If you want to calculate it for a particular reason you can. The ATL of your drones home-point is what matters for flights/ missions. It’s actually going to report Above Take-off Location, ATL even with the A2S or any other Drone, not AGL, Above Ground. As far as I know all the drones work and report this difference so I don’t see why it would change how everything works.

There are many with the same question all over the DJI Forums about this.

This one link may help but you can find a bunch with basically the same answer.

Hello,

Just wondering if there is an altitude limitation (Max / MIN) required for Mavic Air 2S to capture the photos and have a good photogrammetry export.
