I would like to use my Mavic Air 2 to take shots of the peak of a steep mountain in an uninhabited area. There is no way to access higher elevations unless you can mountain climb. The peak is 700m above the safest place for me to take off from. I can easily keep the Mavic Air 2 under 120m AGL, but it seems that the elevation reported by DJI Fly is always relative to the takeoff point, not true AGL - so I hit the 500m max and cannot reach the peak.

Is there a way around this? Preferably a DJI-supported method. Thank you!

Looks like quite a process to get that temporarily lifted.

Thats the joy of doing something very unusual I guess.
