My area most times 160-200 feet up puts me in the clear of obstacles and more importantly keeps a nice cushion between it and manned aircraft that can and do show up overhead at any given time- not directly overhead but in the vicinity enough for me to confirm their position and my bird. Plus that height is very nice for filming too- low enough that when combined with the camera fov it keeps the ground nicely framed but high enough to get plenty of long range horizon shots too. I do push 300' up sometimes and 400' too but I generally stick to around 200 as it's really comfortable to fly.
