New Drone Guy and question.

[Pepino Grande]

Hi
Just got my Phantom 4 pro today and am thrilled with it. I spent about an hour flying it in beginner mode to familiarize myself with the controls. So far so good.

One question though, at the end of my flight time i noticed the altitude was off a pretty good bit. At about 10 feet visual is said 34 feet and landing the display still showed 24 feet, should I be concerned or do I need to make an adjustment?

Cheers
PG

Welcome to Phantom Pilots!

Did you land in the exact spot you took off from?

Thanks for the welcome, Within about 10 feet, flat area.

It's not uncommon for the altitude to be off since it's estimated using the barometer in your Phantom. If the altitude continues to be off by that much, you could try calibrating the IMU.
