Hi pilots, I need a little help if you can. I took my Phantom 4 out for about a 20 minute flight this morning. I noticed when I was hovering that my display on my tablet showed the aircraft at a little over 9 feet when I know it was just under 6 feet. Is there a calibration that I need to do? IMU was warmed up outside, compass not calibrated in the last 6 weeks. Thanks guys
 
A 3 foot difference is not unusual since the altitude is only estimated by the IMU. If you moved your Phantom away from the home point, another potential difference is that the ground was not level between those two points. The displayed altitude is always the distance the Phantom ascended over the takeoff point.
