Very curious what flight time everyone else is getting, based on how high you are where you fly from?

Although AGL (Above Ground Level) flight altitudes vary, it's relatively inconsequential compared to general elevation (location of flight above sea level).

Also because payload is such a factor, what is attached to your rig when flying?


13-15 min  @ 2000m/6600ft above sea level
~9 min       @ 4200m/14100ft above sea level

Phantom 2
Zenmuse H3-3D
GoPro Hero 3Black
AVL58 video Tx
iOSD mini
MarcoPolo tracker

I get 18 - 20 minutes at sea level with a stock V+
Your flight times seem about right considering the thinner air at altitude.

At around a normal altitude of 150-200 ft I can normally get a 18 minute flight with 20% reserve.

in cold conditions at 3500 m I am getting 3 to 4 minutes before the drone crashes in front of my eyes with nothing possible to save it from falling. No warning. It twice failed in snow without damages would start but would not fly up again on same battery yet the light showed it to be still 3/4 full.
I had installed an IOS mini int he hope to try and see what was going on but did not get the same conditions. warm temperature same place 10 minutes or more per battery...
Unfortunately the IOS or something else has just packed up today..
Need to have it checked. No more IOS data...
