Newbie's doubt

[arfbn]

Hi everyone,

I just bought the Breeze, my first drone, and I have a question regarding the flight heights:

Can I fly it off my apartment balcony? It's about 30 meters height from ground level. If the answer is yes, will it hit the geofence according to my balcony height or the ground level?

Thanks!

Yes you can fly it from a balcony and the geofence will be measured from take off point

Thank you!! I was worried that the drone height sensors could somehow get confused about it!

The Return To Home action can crash the drone because where the drone lands is only an approximation.

What Nikono says, do not use RTH, fly it in manually. Something to be mindful of if your balcony has an overhang be careful, GPS signals can be deflected, also between buildings. Lastly be cautious when flying around/about any apartment building some people depending where you are may feel uneasy about a drone flying by their windows. Fly Happy!!

The first flights are best done in the open field. Flight from the balcony may be the last flight of your drone.

thanks for all the replys!

I won't fly it off my balcony right now! It was just a curiosity!
