Max Height indoors

[Malc]

I was filming inside my local church, with tripod mode and obstacle avoidance off, but could not fly above about thirty feet. The controller said max height reached. Is there a way I can get a bit higher? I could do with another twenty feet to get the shot I want.

Ahh you have given us the proverbial "half a loaf"

Need more info please.

The display on my phone says No Positioning (Atti) I took off from the ground and selected Tripod mode. Flew up to approximately thirty feet and the Spark refused to do any higher. The controller then said "Maximum height reached" I have used tripod mode outdoors with GPS with no problems. The church had at least another twenty feet of clear space above, just wouldn't let me go any higher.

Ahh ok the key word was "Spark"

All Spark Aficionados.......come on down!

Good luck.

I have found the answer! Or rather a member of 'Spark Pilots' has. because I have no GPS the optical sensors take over and they appear not to be able to work above thirty feet. But I have found out I can fool them bu starting at a higher take-off point, i.e. the choir loft!

Interesting, I did not know this. Thanks!

Nicely done!

Did you get the Pope's approval..............Kidding.

Wow. The optical sensors hold it steady! I'm comparing your video to my flying non-gps RC quadcopters.

I would have said the ceiling myself just like how low can you go is, the floor.
