Any experience with high-elevation use? I know that's off-label, but I'd like to hear from anyone who has used it above 7000'.

I'm using mine at 8,000 ft. I had to relight the pilot once after I used it about 2 weeks. Don't know if that was altitude, air in the line or wind. But now, after 5 weeks use, the pilot stays on just fine.

Ronald provided a good explanation of speed vs volume ratings. Just to piggy back, higher MPH is technically better for moving heavier matter such as wet grass and higher air flow, as on 350bt, technically works better for moving large piles of leaves and such. I live on an acre with many large oak trees and my 150bt handles everything like a champ. I rarely use the machine on full throttle. Also, the 150bt came with several different nozzles to adjust speed and air flow. Hope this helps.

I have only taken mine diving to 30 meters (100')...all was fine. I have also had it on an unmanned stratospheric balloon at 38km (120,000' +) ... same camera - same case. This December I'll take it to 40 km on another stratospheric flight (-60C). Next summer the same camera will be on a 15 day flight at 39km around the norther polar region ( 79 to 82 degrees N ). I've had this same camera on my helmet while skiing and on my mt. bike. This past Spring I took it on a sea kayaking trip and so far it appears to be holding up. Hasn't failed to date, but I have only had it about 9 months. Cheers - steven

We haven't taken it further than 500ft in height and distance, although it is supposed to reach 1000ft. Probably in youtube you can see some trials.

I live in California coastal zone at altitudes up to 2400 feet but I have used the wave 3 at altitudes of 5000 feet with no problems 30 below snowing (near Lake Tahoe ) no problems at all. Have not tried at higher altitudes. Camco Manufacturing has been very responsive to questions. I own a wave 8 (1 year) and a wave 3 (20 years plus)David

I don't know if this works for you, but I read the previous model doesn't work fine with high levels above the sea. Max 300 meters above the sea.

I'm not using at a high altitude but you should not have any problems. Have you tried talking to Zojirushi customer service at all?

I'm using it in Boulder, CO, which is at an elevation a bit above "The Mile High City," so you should be fine. We haven't had any problems with it.

I've used it at over 300 feet. The distance is impressive. It works smoothly even at that distance.

According to the installation manual - There are DIP switches inside the device to adjust performance for altitude. It has different settings for 0-2000ft, 2000-4000ft and 4000-6000ft. Over 6000ft they advise you contact their technical department at 1-877-737-2840.

I'm @ 1200ft works great no problems so far, have friend who spent a couple hundred And he is impressed with the pictures and distance

I have it on my gas block, the elevation adjustment would not drop enough for the uphill range I use outside of town. It seemed okay on the rail for more level firing and closer shots. Hope this is some help.

I haven't had any problems at our property which has an elevation difference of about 10 ft. over an area of 1 1/4 acres. I use two transmitters, one in the barn and one in the house. The transmitter in the house is about 6 ft higher than the one in the barn. System works great even with my truck parked in the barn.

I live in Houston which is totally flat. The altitude readings are not accurate enough to reflect the 10 ft changes up and down as I run. However, I used my 305 on runs in the CA mountains and the altitude readings were surprisingly accurate. Using the latitude and longitude location data I compared the altitude to topographical maps and they were spot on.

I have found this to work perfectly fine over around 400 metres, am not sure if I have used it with a longer distance. I did find that I needed to hold it up (as in up above my head) as there was a slight hill in the way.

I shot at 306 and I haven't had any issues. Try posing the question to the QAD manufacturer

Elevation is set for bullet drop of 556. You can zero it in at witch ever you like however the distance adjustment would not be correct.
