I'm new to droning. I've looked for this question on the forum but can't find it. I live at an elevation of 6.000 feet msl. The Batteries in my HS720E don't seem to last as long as they should. I haven't done a scientific test yet but I was thinking that maybe the higher elevation (thinner air) causes the little copter to work harder than it would at seal level. Does anyone have any info on this issue?

It is called density altitude. The higher the elevation, the thinner the air. Same goes for hot and humid air as well
