it's illegal here to fly higher than 400 feet. glad to see you got your mavic back especially without any tragedies like a car accident where somebody was killed because of the quad crash landing in the nearby highway.

In the US, only in controlled airspace. But outside in the desert or woods outside of airspace (Use your judgement and common sense) You can fly higher then 400 feet.

I have several videos lately of their DJI Mavic Pro quad-copters loosing their minds and flying away. Is it a glitch in the software or is it operator problem (not doing a compass calibration) before they start flying? I still think DJI should have a beeping device so the operator can push a button on the controller and have the drone make a loud beep to direct the pilot to the craft.

Same in U.K. It may be 400 feet above the tallest structure but looking at the video it seems you weren't over the windmills at all (which in itself would have been rather irresponsible) so your using their height to justify yours seems incorrect! Glad you found the drone, I would take a lesson from the experience and stay lower. Safe flying. Peter
