[QUOTE="41Flyer, post: 95994, member: 17051"] How does the Spark measure flight altitude? I am assuming that where it launches from is 0 and it goes up to 400' from there. So what if we launch from atop a hill/mountain? Still +400 from launch spot or does it take into account that it is sitting atop a 300' mountain? Here in Texas, the area around me is really just +/- 10' so I don't have the opportunity to go outside to find out. Does it also keep track of the ground by assuming the ground is at 0'? So if I am on top of a 50' cliff and launch, then try to fly down the side of the cliff, does some safety system kick in at any point? No cliffs around for me to really test with either. Also makes me wish the camera could "look up" On the National Geographic channel, they did a show about the tallest redwood trees and mentioned some that were 370+ feet tall. Each time they mentioned that, all I could think about was how it might be tough to fly the drone over it (legally). We could tell LAANC we are flying below tree top. HAHA! I need to travel some with this awesome flying camera! [/QUOTE]
