I tested 2 scenarios with my Mavic:
a) went up on a mountain road by car with Mavic activ-tracking me. Starting out with some 40m of altitude above ground all of a sudden the drone was right behind the car at the same altitude as my car was at.
b) skiing downhill with my Mavic activ tracking me. There I noticed that while of course I ski downhill lowering my altitude, the drone always stayed at the same altitude as it started out.

So my question is if there is a mode which lets the drone also change altitude according to the object it is following. Not everybody is filming himself fishing or taking a walk.

If not, this would be a NICE feature to build in future releases as the drone could easily get the GPS altitude from the controller, thus always knowing alti changes.

by the way, this was the result of my first test:
