Kinda new at this drone thing but loving it right out of the gate.  I have a simple question that i hope someone an assist me with as it's not clear in the docs.  The iOS version of the DJI Go 4 app allows me to set the "Measurement Unit" to Imperial which I take is a US form of measurement.  I did this. Now I set the "Max Flight Altitude" and I notice it says it wants this figure in meters...Is this correct.  Eventhough I am set to Imperial, I still set my Max Altitude in meters?

Thanks fo any help,

---Mike

Was you drone connected to the remote controller when you changed the units? If it wasnt try connnecting it and changing and see if that makes a difference

Same with mine. Set for Imperial but max height still shows in metric. May have always been that way though. Not sure.

I just don't want to screw up and set it for 100 feet when it really is 100 meters.  Thoughts?

SPIKE_151,
It was connected and didn't make a difference.  My thought is that setting the "Measurement Unit" to Imperial is probably just for the main home screen to show things like distance, height...things like this in US feet.  The other settings in the app are probably hard set to be Metric.

It's a little DJI glitch that has never been fixed.
Max altitude and RTH height are always in metres even when you set your display units to Imperial.
