[QUOTE="SPark_South_Oz, post: 113683, member: 17032"] If max altitude is set to 120m (400') ceiling, then all DJI aircraft will recognise this from the Home Point / TOP (take off point). You can fly up to 500m (~ 1640') above TOP via the app settings, good for where you take off from a lower altitude, and fly up the side of a mountain, you can technically keep going above the legal (in most places) 400' altitude AGL limit, as the terrain increases in height. Up to 500m. Likewise, it you take off from a Home point at say 600' and fly down into a valley, you should legally maintain 400' about the ground below the aircraft, not easy to do, an estimate has to be made by the pilot. This is a good diagram of altitude in legally restricted 400' drone airspace.
