make it easier as in....i thought maybe the hack could allow for quicker climbs with less effort or without additional warnings on the display or something along those lines. don't have a lot of experience with high altitude flying.
Descending faster has the great advantage of saving battery power, so you can afford to waste less time on a slow descent and spend more time flying in the place where you need to do your task of aerial video and shots.
Simple.
If the aircraft does not shake too much during a rapid descent, if it can remain stable enough, it can be done without risk.
With all my DJI drones I have set the higher possible for this parameters, also for Inspire 2 with 2 batteries on the arms: 10m/s.
Rarely make them descend so quickly, also because they have to return from afar, usually 2-5 km, or more, at a reasonable speed, so on a diagonal ride and I make my manual adaptive descending speed on auto RTH, to stay, if possible, not too high, or too low, above the terrain.
But having this higher speed option is very useful, when you see that is a good solution for some reason.
Climbing faster instead use more energy and usually reduces the flight time.
There is always an optimal range of rotation speed of the motor-propeller group that allows you to make a good use of the battery, and to be able to fly as long as possible. It never stays at the maximum rotation speed.
If you are not in a hurry it's not worth climbing faster than about 4 or 5 m/s.
But if you are in a hurry to reach the location, for any reason, for example, suddenly you see the optimal light conditions at sunset on a mountain.
You can choose to reach it more quickly so as not to lose it, partially or fully, before the sun goes below the horizon or below the clouds, even at the expense of less flight time.
Another example, in few occasions I suddenly chose to make it go up as fast as possible when it was already in the desired point for taking pictures, after noticing that one or more predatory birds were flying not far away, so to avoid a possible strike.
I lost a Phantom 4 Pro three years ago; it was captured and dropped behind a peak by an eagle, or a hawk (I have the video of the live recorded on my tablet).
When I see that the aircraft could be at risk, I briefly observe the sky area, 360°, also above, and if necessary I quickly move it away, making it go up to maximum speed if the battery power is good, or descending if the battery is low and I would risk not being able to land it safe, piloting it back to the Home Point, or even elsewhere.
