Hello,

Sometimes I have to fly indoor in large areas. There are occassions that I have to elevate beyond the 4,5 meters. Is there any way to pass this maximum height?

It is possible to transport gps signal into a building. But that is most of the times to expensive and time consuming. Is there no other way?

i wasnt aware of 4,5m ATTI limit. . hm
maybe start the drone at an elevated position would be an easy fix to gain a little bit extra height..

From the manual: Height is restricted to 16 feet (5 meters) when the GPS signal is weak and Downward Vision System is activated. Height is restricted to 98 feet (30 meters) when the GPS signal is weak and Downward Vision System is inactivated.

You can disable downward sensor and the limit will be up to 30 meters if you fly the drone indoor with no GPS.

My Mavic height is limited also to around 5 meters with vision positioning system but no GPS. Surprisingly, my Spark can fly higher without GPS.  Is the effective range of the VPS in the Spark higher than the Mavic? I have been reading the manual but could not see the Spark's VPS limit. Just sharing my observations.

@Sebb, I had the same thought. But sometimes it is not possible to start from an elevated point

@exmachina and @dji thor, thank you for your advise. 30 meters is quite a range to fly indoor precision flights on sight. That will do.
