Howdy - noob here.

When using the app to set the maximum height, I cannot find a way to enter a precise value.  For instance, if I want to set it to 400 feet, it will let me set it to 393.6 feet or to 410 feet, but nothing in between.  

Really not a problem, I'm just wondering if I'm missing something.

You can't set a precise value, there are incremental jumps/steps, one of the losses when compared to Go & Go4. I forget the interval.

Change it to metric from Imperial.

Thank you for patiently waiting.  The maximum height/altitude can only be set every 5m (multiple of 5), for example: 120m, 125m, 130m, 135m and so on, cannot be manually dragged and set to 121, 122, 123, 124m. The same explanation if you use the ff: the next height/altitude of 393ft (about 120m) is 410ft (about 125m), which cannot be set to 400ft. Hope this helps. Thank you for your valued support.

I thought it was just me and fat-finger. Seems dumb, ok it is dumb that you can't precisely input the altitude with a manual entry -- especially since 400ft. is the magic number here in the U.S.
For Pete's Sake, the app for my pellet smoker allows me to manually input any number I need.

Thanks, makes sense.  I figured it was something like that.  I will say that 5m increments seems a little large, but for most practical purposes it's probably fine.
