In most every land deserving cite , flying a monotone to 11,000 feet is illegal without all sorts of complicated paperwork . But if you do n’t give a shit about the law , the footage you’re able to catch from that mellow up is darn nerveless .

The video was captured using a DJI Phantom 2 , which is the last Phantom - series drone to not be EL - restrict in the software . Of course , all responsible , law - abiding pilots are supposed to rest below 400 feet above land level when flying , but that ’s just in the USA .

In the EU , where this video recording was filmed , the restriction is supposed to be 500 feet . Of course , small dawdler do n’t show up well on radar , so they ’re severe to police , so the altitude limitation becomes more technical than physical . 11,000 feet is still hard to reach — the pilot take to have 27 % of battery remaining by that point , just enough to descend safely without crashing full - fastness into the soil .
