If you have iOSD or another flight-telemetry-overlay system installed, then it will display (via FPV monitor) the Phantom's height in meters.

PM,

There are 'payload' type altimeters available for post-flight data review such as this:

Many other types too to be found by a google search.

you can use the Phantom Assistant software to set a maximum ceiling for your Phantom on the Advanced / Limits tab, then you'd at least know it was never over whatever height you set. There is an option at the top of that same tab for meters or feet

I did a bunch of playing when my Phantom was new, set a 50m limit and tested, then 100m, 200. doing the same thing (in feet if you like) will help give you a visual of what certain heights look like... set a certain limit them run the phantom up to it nearby.... land, change the limit, repeat as often as you like

It makes you read the manual!

Mr. Phantom_medic,

With all due respect...

You should read the manual, there is lots of good info in it.

This forum and others similar are a great resource for help but not meant to be a substitute for taking the responsibility to read the manual.

oh great info!

what does it do when the max height is reached?

it stops going up. try it out set a 40 or 50 foot limit and see for yourself

read the manual again, helpful.

wish i could set it in 'feet' instead of 'meter'. ill just convert!

"...wish i could set it in 'feet' instead..."

You can.

 

[phantom_medic]

"...wish i could set it in 'feet' instead..."

You can.

i read the manual, didnt say anything about changing. i also tried messing with it while 'writing' the numbers...

On page 25 you'll see a 'screen shot' of the 'limits' tab (Height & Radius).

There are three 'radio' buttons (options) above the cylinder graphic.

Guess what they read?

Meters, Feet, Miles.

EDIT: It's page 25 of the P2 Manual. Not sure of page # in other manuals.

i have downloaded

all the manuals on the 'downloads' page that are in english. only one has a page 25, the naza quick start manual, and nothing about flight limits on that page.

im over it...thanks.

 

[N017RW]

Sorry to hear that.

But if you change your mind,

Try the first one under the heading of "Manuals" i.e. ((EN) v1.1).
