In the GO App, next to the field where you enter the Return-to-Home Altitude value there is an example "(20 - 500M)" showing the value in meters.  If my default units are set to imperial, am I entering feet or is the value always meters irrespective of my default unit setting?

Thanks.  This is a problem.  I wasn't sure and entered the value in feet at 250.  When RTH kicked in my quad was at 450 feet before I knew it.  I had to manually bring it down.  DJI should clarify this in the app so others won't make the mistake.

Correct,  RTH height should be entered in meters only

FYI, 400 feet = 122 meters so enter 122 and you will stay at or below 400 feet although that may not keep you from hitting a building or really tall tree. edit...tallest tree in the world is only 379 feet (115.5 meters) tall so no issue there

Yeah I set mine for 122 as well, I don't fly around tall buildings but if I did I would try to start my flight above them.
