I came across this video and had to share it. Just so everyone knows, this is not my video. But as a Mavic owner I thought this was such cool footage that more people should enjoy.
In this video, this man from Alaska hikes up a mountain and flies his Mavic at 4500 feet!  

Maybe I am just geeking out over this, but I think it is so cool the Mavic could handle that altitude. Plus, the title sorta gets you. Here is the link again: Mavic at 4500ft

Thanks.

Also, I will have more of my own footage next week. Thanks for all of the comments and tips so far!

That is nothing...a guy in CO on the RCG forums took flew his Mavic Pro at 12,100 ft. no problemo.

Wow, haven't seen that yet. I will have to look that up. Thanks for the heads up.

I've flown my mavic at 9000 feet in French alps... The mavic was behaving perfectly. Got a video on the forum from it...

Me too. 3000m (9842ft take off point).  Jump to min 4 in the video >>

  

Flew like a champ!
Went to another peak at 3200m but it was crazy windy that day and would have lost my Mavic for sure.

That is reassuring!

Not trying to be a buzz-kill...here is a pic I took with my P4 (at the time) last July from Quandary Peak in Colorado...14,265 feet (4.347KM).  

I know that there have been others that have flown there Phantom's even higher then this and yes, its awesome.

No buzz-kill at all. This is exactly the discussion I wanted. Very cool. I had no clue! Hope to keep seeing more and more cool mountain shots.

AWESOME! What a sweet vid. When you search on YouTube, Vimeo, AirVuz or even on here, what keywords do you usually type in to find more vids like this?

Awesome vids!

I live at 6,000'. No issues. Still can hit almost 40mph in sport mode.

Thanks BlazeAir.  Glad you liked it.

Awesome vids!

RockfordScanner.  Thanks man.

I swear mine won't go any higher than 2000ft here. It hits a predetermined height and just stops climbing. What's the deal with that? How do I change that?

So I'm late to the party, but I live at 7200', and this shot is from my Mavic at 7400'

Not a buzzkill at all.  A buzzkill would be to say that DJI's new software update restricts flying their drones at an altitude more than 500m above sea level.
