Someone may want to clear up this thread, as we have clearly gone off topic 😂 TL;DR … DJI has mapped it’s EXIF metadata incorrectly. My data is reporting incorrectly too. Just flew up to 400 feet and grabbed this screenshot off my phone. As you can see, I am bang on 400 feet. ![image](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/6/5/65789e544e03722299fb23bd1c6deb3cad63371a.jpeg) AirData confirms this too … ![image](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/2/c/2cc244cca9fa327ee9395aad3f38a58ca06f8666.jpeg) Using that online [metadata checker](https://www.metadata2go.com/) that @Acedrone posted … ![image](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/3/8/38020d1e98c4bdddf5e75aa27f8989c66915899a.png) - My TOAL is actually 100.8m above sea level. - Absolute Altitude is showing as 100.88m. This should show 120m. I.e. distance above ground. - Relative Altitude is showing as 122.3m. This should be my MSL, i.e. 120m + 100.8m = approx 220m. Which is why the EXIF data in Windows is incorrect too: ![image](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/1/0/105e04989b41d793f869e088ef813b95ec9ca3af.png) ---

We miss the old days. When the Birthday Challenge struck terror into everyone foolish enough to be enticed to enter. Impossible tasks (so we thought ☹ ) and draconian rules.Our word was LAW! But then we decided to let you guys police yourselves. Not our cleverest decision. But, for one last time before next year’s challenge we are going to flex our muscles - GET BACK ON TOPIC OR ELSE! ---

So I fly at 400’, no problem. If I then crop my image which I think is allowed, will you think I’ve been cheating and flown lower than I did ought to have?!🤔 ---

As @kvetner has kindly pointed out the pictures and the rules are judged and administered by your peers. all we do is provide the space for the competition to happen. The RTF competition is more about getting out to fly with a certain purpose in mind thanit is about strict rules and regulations. As long as it looks like the picture it was taken looking straight down from a height it will be ok. What about the competitior who measures an accurate 400 feet from the take off point - which happens to be in the middle of a model village … 🙂 ---

Chris, are you entering the 360 as well or is that just to give us more of a look around the estate? ---

🤣🤣Nope visiting a lot of HS2 sites, trying to get a good day when it’s not too windy or wet to fly over a building site of our depot, unfortunately I live dam near to Luton airports flight zone. But hopefully I’ll get out over the weekend at nighttime somewhere ---

You must have it limited in your settings… it can go way way above 400ft 🤣 Not that I’ve tried it 🙊 Highest I’ve been is 399.99ft 🤣 ---

Even without Drone Hacks, my old M2 went the odd foot or two over 400’.
