Potensic ATOM altitude change

[BMW DRONER]

Hey, if there is anyone out there with a Potensic Atom 3-axis, is it me or did they change the adjustable altitude level max from 800 meters to 120 meters? If so, then this drone really isn't worth the purchase. Please let me know guys. Thanks.

I think the 120 meter altitude limit is a EU restriction. I don't know why that would affect someone in Virginia though.

I got it corrected. I contacted Potentic directly and they fixed the problem. My drone now has eight hundred meter limit Altitude, as originally. Thanks for your response.

Why would you want to fly higher? My goodness, makes no
sense to me. But you must have a reason.

If it makes no sense then maybe you should not have responded as it offerd no help or resolution to my question. I joined this group for informative reasons and not to be part of a soft Social Media platform. Please all I am seeking is a helpful response and not a biased opinion. Thanks.

Sorry I did not respond to be demeaning in any way. But I have lost a couple of drones & try to keep mine in sight. Just
something to give some thought to.

I often fly well past 120 meters (roughly 393 feet) when doing skyscraper fly overs which is completely legal. You must be within 400 feet of the structure horizontally but at that point you can increase your altitude to 120 meters above the tallest point on the building. So there are certainly legitimate and legal reasons to need more than 120 meters of altitude.

Wow that explains that. I live nest to a lake in a hard wood
forest. Here of late my biggest problem has been a few balled
eagles .

I use a fake gps app for change my location. I put that i'm in Australia and it's works! Now can adjust the altitude maximum to 800 meters. After that's it's enabled, i turned off the gps app and use my drone normally.

I can give you several legal reasons. Standing at the base of a tall cliff, you are legally allowed to fly a drone up to 400 feet above the top of the cliff. You have to be within 400 feet horizontally of the cliff and you must possess a part 107 UAV license, but it is legal. Recently I flew my Air 3 over some skyscrapers in a large city. Same rules apply. That's a couple of legitimate reasons, there are others as well.

120m is the max legal altitude.
