hello all I was wondering when I fly my phantom 3 I like to see how many feet I am up in the air by feet not meters, I don't know how many others like it that way or not, and on another thing on the home point return if I set it at 120 feet that should be high enough up from power lines you think or higher, just wondering, but I looked at some videos on youtube and that guy said his phantom was climbing up to 600 feet, then he only had it set for 150 feet, why would that be, any advice would be nice thanks
 
The "Return-to-Home Altitude" setting is always set in meters. You'll need to convert feet to meters when setting it.

As for viewing the current altitude while you're flying, it's always going to show you the altitude above the takeoff point (which is 0 feet). You can display that value in feet by setting the "Measurement Unit" setting to "Imperial" in DJI GO.

How high are the power lines above the ground at the takeoff location? Figure that out, add 50 feet (for a buffer since the current altitude is only an estimate), convert it to meters, and set that as your RTH Altitude in DJI GO.
