Droning Flying at max hight using DJI DRONES?

[Maverick]

Has anyone here tried to fly at max hight using DJI Drones?

I've see some people on social media, that they do. I guess in the area where there aren't any laws in place.

I flew mini 3 pro. Max height is 500m.

I few at 300m once in Brazil in the middle of nowhere, was quite thrilling. Here's the clip (never sold though):

Don’t know how mini 3 pro will handle when flying that high.

Doesn’t look high in the video. What drone did you used to fly that high ?

Was in a mountainous region.

Air 2s

Great quality as usual from air 2s. I’m surprised that you could fly that hight with it. I have never tested it

It was fine to me. Just the laws and regs that you have to follow.

Fair enough. I guess you don’t get windy days over there.

Depends, some of the year(about 3 months) it is fairly still but the rest of the year is very windy

So basically you have only 3 months good timing of flying the drone ?

Kind of, sometimes early mornings are good sometimes not but otherwise just battle the wind, but the battery drains quickly in strong wind.

Yeah, same thing applies in UK too, very rarely fly my drone during the winter due of bad weather. But I do have 3 batteries which give me more fly time than I need.

Don’t you have 3 batteries ?

No I wish I did but don't have the money for the fly more kit.

Did try it one or two times in 2018. didn't like the footage at that height and learned in the years that lower is more beautiful.

I do agree. Images at highs aren’t the best. But again depends what’s your subject.

Secondhand batteries ?

That could be an idea.
