In the description for this drone, it says it can go up to 100 meters / 328 feet.

I can't get it higher than 40 meters / 130 feet. Any ideas why this might be?

On page 10 of your manual, it states that the vertical range in GPS is about 35 meters. To go higher, you';d have to be in a different flight mode

Ah, thanks so much! That explains it (hopefully). I'll give it a shot later today.

Maybe I'm reading the manual incorrectly... It obviously wasn't written by a native English speaker. Here's the part I'm having trouble understanding:

(P. 10 of manual) "In the wide place, the flying range is more than 180 meters, and the Limit height of the GPS coordinates is about 35 meters."

I am taking that to mean if I take it higher than 35 meters the GPS functions won't work. But I can't get it to go higher, and I can't figure out how to turn the GPS function off (not sure I even want to, as I don't want to risk it drifting away).

Now I'm wondering if I'm mistaking "range of 180 meters" to mean altitude, when it really only means distance away from controller, not exceeding 35 meters in altitude.

However, on the FPV app from Syma, it lets me set the altitude up to 100 meters. Is this just a weird thing on the app that doesn't really mean anything?

Looking for opinions on this. Thanks!
