“Spec's say only flies up to 4350 feet above sea level: I live in Colorado Springs at 6700 feet above sea level, so why would I want to buy this if it wouldn't get off the ground in our high altitude air?”

It's based on the take off location. It will go up the full 4350 if you take off in Colorado.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.While some of these answers are correct in terms of legal altitude ceiling, I suspect that the limitation may be based on density altitude at the takeoff location. Temperature and takeoff field altitude can affect air density which, in turn, affects the amount of lift a wing (rotor) can produce. Basically, the higher up you are at takeoff, the less dense the air is and the less lift the wing/rotor can produce. That said, I have flown my company's ANAFI many, many times and as long as you fly within the rules and manufacturer's parameters, it is a wonderful drone. The camera is one of the best I have ever seen in a UAV.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.According to the Anafi website the service ceiling is 2.7 miles or 14,256 ft. I think someone dropped 10,000 feet off of the specs you saw. You’re less than halfway to its maximum altitude.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I own an Anafi and am not aware of a altitude limitation like that. It is limited to 400 feet above the starting altitude but not aware of any other caps. I live at lower elevation so cant say for sure but didn't see anything in the setup of my Anafi that said it capped at 4350. Maybe someone who has flown at higher elevation can say for sure. I will just add that for the money, it is a great little drone. I am loving mine!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Well, I guess you wouldn't. I've not seen such a specification for any drone, but it makes complete sense. The air's density at that altitude is the reason for the limitation. I would check with other drone owners to find out what their experiences have been. There are some great Facebook groups that are quite helpful. Just do a search for Anafi, and you will find a few Anafi Owner groups. Good luck!
