Hi, I have a problem that the application does not show me the correct height of the drone from the ground. After the automatic start, everything is fine. The drone is 1.4 m high. It climbs to 30m and after returning it no longer shows the height correctly.  The drone is located at a height of 1.5 m and the application shows 0.5 m. Calibrating the compass didn't help. What could cause this problem?

I'm sorry for my bad English.

Hi,

Compass has nothing to do with a barometric sensor.
This sensor measures height measuring the barometric pressure. In general > Fly higher = lower pressure = shows higher altitude.

At take-off the height is set to zero, so this is your reference height for the entire flight.
Minor differences in height, after climb and back to low height is normal.

Changes in the actual barometric pressure will have also effect on your readings.

cheers

Hello there dejavu69_cz. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused and thank you for reaching out. Kindly please try checking if the your DJI Mini 2 is on its latest firmware and please try flying the said DJI drone to a different location to see if the issue will persist? Thank you.

That reply is completely irrelevant and not at all helpful.
Firmware updates and changing locations can't "fix" it.

All drones show small differences in height over the time of a flight.
That's just what happens when height is measured by air pressure.
It's common and normal.

Is this a Mini 2 "feature"? If so, then it is resolved
