Can anyone tell me the practical ceiling for the EVO 1. I often climb 14 thousand foot peaks in CO and would like to get a circle shot at a few hundred feet away.
Thanks!

@dronewolf I have flown at 8,000 ft. The drone will calculate its height at AGL so even though you are at high altitude it will read how high you are over the land mass. Keep the drone below 400ft AGL to comply with FAA regs.
The higher the density altitude is, the thinner the air is and the harder the aircraft will need to work to perform. I.E.Drones will use more power to stay in the air then they would in lower density altitude. Keep this in mind as you fly/shoot.

To answer your question. Autel hasn't given a specific number. Most manufacturers recommend you don't fly anything above 6,000m MSL or 19,685' MSL. I am sure it can fly higher, but to be on the safe side, I suggest you stick with that.

Thanks! I know ALL of that!

Thanks... Yeah a few hundred feet AGL (14,500 MSL) would be all I'm interested in! Thanks again!
