If you ignore the legal limits because that's all anyone talks about, how high can this thing go? How did it perform taking off from 14k?

First of all, I didn't ignore the legal limits, it was legal where I flew. Just want you to know that. The road up there was illegal, but at the top it was legal. I confirmed that before I flew. As for "if I was to ignore" I don't know, I try to fly safe and I don't want to lose my drone! LOL The highest I have ever gone is 1000 feet high when I was out in the middle of nowhere, but I brought it down because it goes up fast, but comes down slow, and you don't want to run out of battery coming down for sure! Also, there are high winds up there so too high and you likely could lose it. I've seen some KZitem videos of guys experimenting with going high and losing their drone! As for performance, the air is thin up there and it seemed to struggle a little and was slow to respond, so I didn't enjoy flying up there and won't do it again, as it made my nervous. I was concerned about wind coming over the peak, so I kept it pretty low and it didn't feel too windy. Hope this helps.

@@kidologist so basically no one has an answer. If I search drone height limit in any combination of words I get "400 feet". Seemed to work just fine up there, even though the only info I've found says they can't operate higher than 13000 when clearly good ones can. It's just a curiosity that literally no one has an answer for.

@@WCGwkf Well, the issue isn't "how far up will it go" it will keep going up as long as it has battery power. The issue is do you want your drone to return? :) It will go as high as you are willing to go. But do you still want a connection to it? You can go two miles up and still have a connection, but the chances of getting it back are pretty slim. You'll have to find someone rich enough you don't mind throwing $2000 in the garbage to get the answer to your question. The 400 feet is the limit for hobbyists, and that is to keep it under aircraft so you don't endanger lives. Just as a bird can take down an aircraft by flying into the engine, so can a UAS. (Unmanned Aircraft System).

@@kidologist so air density isn't an issue? There must be an altitude limit, say you climbed everest with your drone, would it fly up there too? Helicopters have altitude limits too

@@WCGwkf Um, LOL, I'm sure it is. Why don't you get a drone and do some experimenting. The best ones are at DJI.com - post a link here to the videos you make. Good luck! :)

Jamie Watson They had a sign at the entrance no drones along the corridor, so I thought I couldn't fly at all, but then at the top they said I could fly there at the top.

No it's not. The road up is drone restricted, but not at the top. I confirmed with rangers up there. Just FYI. At least when I filmed this back in 2017.

I also went away from the crowds just to avoid the complainers and people who are anti-drone. Keep in mind the air is THIN up there so the response time of your drone will be slower. Just be careful of high winds!
