I find that although higher flights are safer (naturally), lower flights give more exciting-looking videos as you skim the tops of the trees.
Up until now I have never gone below 200 feet on Litchi waypoint missions, but the results look pretty tame. I keep thinking about flying a mission, examining the footage to see how much clearance I'm getting, then doing another mission with the same waypoints, but shaving, say, tewenty feet off the altitiude, then if that seems to give a safe result judging from the video, shaving another twenty feet off, and so on. Trouble is, this relies on the bird's altimeter being accurate and consistent, and I've heard that barometric altimeters just aren't all that accurate.
Bearing all this in mind, I'd be very interested in hearing how low people here risk flying on a Litchi waypoint mission.
