How high can a DJI drone fly?
In the UK, drone regulations set the maximum legal height at 120 m (400 ft) within visual line of sight. The only exceptions are if you have completed a UK SORA with CAA approval to fly higher, or if you are operating in the Specific Category with the appropriate authorisation.
Let's look at the highest drone flights the DJI Mini 4 Pro, Matrice 4D/TD (compatible with Dock 3), Matrice 4E/4T, and Matrice 400 can reach.
These maximum operating altitudes are measured from sea level. The higher the altitude limit, the more powerful the drone.
DJI Drone | Maximum Operating Altitude |
Mini 4 Pro | 4000 m |
Matrice 4D/4TD | 4500 m |
Matrice 4E/4T | 6000 m |
Matrice 400 | 7000 m |
