I have a 3 pro without a gimbal that has no flight restrictions. I bought a crashed 3 pro that had the camera torn off. Removed the gimbal and got it flying. However, the green lights turn red at 100 feet and it will not elevate. I don't think a different firmware would have a 100 foot limit. What is causing this ? Is there software other than Dji go or Litchi to set limits ? If I put a gimbal and camera on it would a Dji Go height limit change fix this ? Thanks.

Lack of satellites ? Never ever had this happen. Will replace gps unit.

I can only think of a couple of common things. Maybe it's set to beginner mode. Max height is enabled and set to a low limit. FW flight restrictions that came out with 11.20 are active and need the steps to disable such as signing in, etc. It's been a minute, so all of this is sort of foggy within my oldness.

Yea, me too. I'm put a dji gimbal on it.
Will try the registration route via Dji Go.
 
I put gimbal and 4k camera back on it. switched gps. Got green lights insid the house. Dji Go said """ unregistered device.""" registered it. Went thru all the settings. Not beginner mode. set max altitude high.
calibrated compass and imu. took it outside. battery and remote fully charged. got green lights quickly. this time it got to maybe 200 feet and stopped climbing.
I've been flying Phantoms since they came out and I have never had a satellite issue.
im out of ideas.
 
Not sure what firmware version you're running, but you may want to consider the following.......
