Hi Guys,
Yesterday I took the Mavic out for a flight, while my dad took his sail boat out for a ride. It was hard for me to see the mavic since the lake was a bit further away, but there were no obstacles like power lines e.g. I thought, if I stay above 10-15 meters altitude I won't hit any sails. At a given moment my dad called and said he saw the mavic and that there were no other sails close to him, so I dropped altitude to 5 meters, just to be sure and went in for a circulair motion.
But when I reviewed the footage I noticed that I was way lower than 5 meters, I was flying hardly a meter above the water! The water is approximately 4 meters deep, so could it be that it the Mavic took the bottom of the lake as altitude display? Am I a rookie for not knowing this? But if that's the case, how would you know which height is safe enough to fly?
