Will it work efficiently for skydiving purposes?

I bought this for my grandson and he is happy with it, but I don't think he has used it regarding skydiving.

Assume by high altitudes you mean the Andes or Everest , as opposed for planes, where one is in a pressurised cabin. I wouldn't think they would be very effective, as the altitude sickness is due to oxygen's inability to load easily into your bloodstream unless you become acclimatised. Oxygen bottles would be a better bet.

Yes, but your question should also be..."Does it will it work under normal conditions?" Answer: Hell No! I have dropcams under overhangs and they are awesome!!!

Yes. It most definitely will. I used it on one lst fall and it still looks good.

Yes. However it isn't real fast, but it does work. I used it while on a trip and it worked pretty well

Maybe! It depends on the level of accuracy required by the analysis. To get a close approximation, my eTrex 20 works just fine. Given time, clear skies and an unobstructed position it provided elevations within plus or minus 2 feet.

Hi Daniel. It'll work but be careful as you may want something more stable.

I doubt it. I found that the device really didn't work well for my purposes. It would require a lot of hoop jumping and special drivers, and then it may not work for you at all.

The only issue I could see you having is with the LiPo battery or air density being so low that the props cannot generate enough lift. As it is radio controlled there would not be any other issue other than possibly wind if you were outdoors this is definitely a copter for size-able indoor spaces. There is no blade pitch adjustments so you stuck with the lift you can generate although this guy is really light and you don't need much throttle at 1,000 feet above sea level to get it going. Having no experience at high altitudes it is hard to say, perhaps review the return/refund policy and take a chance?

I don't think it would be a big problem if you were to keep it strapped to the top of a rucksack. Maybe to your wrist?? It's built fairly rugged so it might do OK? I can't make any promise's if you really knock it around. As long as you keep it strapped to something that can align with the satellite's and the unit doesn't flop around too much you should be good. That's all I can give you, you have to decide what "flop around" might be in your judgement. If you think it's out of bounds, it probably is. Good luck.

I have not, I have used it for whitewater kayaking and swimming with the kids, but I have seen videos of people sky diving so it is something you could do with it. The only thing you would have to do is mount the camera to a helmet or use the provided wrist strap. It does come with the mounts that will stick on the helmet that you are using, but I would strongly recommend some kind of leash that is attached to you in case it were to blow off your helmet. I have not had issues with that, but I did have an issue kayaking and accidently hit the camera with a paddle and did not have the leash attached and lost the camera, but that was my fault not the camera nor the stick mounts it comes with.

Yes. I use it with the SAFE technology all the time on several planes and quadcopters.

It will fly with no problem at all, even for higher altitud places. With the camera atached the battery time will be around 8 minutes, without it you should get around 5 aditional minutes.

Yes. It seems to work pretty well regardless of your speed and/or distance.

Mike It Would Def. Work However I'm Thinking It Would Be Way More Than Needed. Its A Big Scope

You might get away with one of the new, very small cameras and transmitters but you'll need to be very careful with the center of gravity. I would suggest a larger, more stable platform for FPV.

Not quite. The light form structure makes flight unstable so stunts wouldn't be recommended
