Height & Battery test

[yuneec53]

A quick test that I did to limit my height. In the GUI I set my height to 55m for a particular video shoot. No reason to think it would not work on the H but video proof that it does. In the process I discovered what could be a useful indicator (namely having the sound on ) for possibly problems with the H in flight. I discovered that when I get vibrations a battery low indicator on the ST16 the Typhoon motors ahead were also reacting.

May I ask why you needed to reduce the maximum height instead of simply not flying higher? Just curious.
Usually guys want to increase the height, not lower it. ii

Yes most people want great height. For my purposes I do not need it. In this case I want to be in position for a train coming over a viaduct. Because of the comparatively short time on the H I do not want to waste time in jiggling with height. Therefore I can just rocket up in Hare mode knowing that the H will get to 50 m and no more . All the time can then be spent in moving the H laterally and turning the camera. The ability to set this in such a manner for me is excellent.

That is cool. I was just curious, that sounds like a good reason to do that. Would love to see the footage once you get it.
