Well, my poor fellow, I'm sorry to tell you that with the EVO, both the 1 and the 2 that you will never be able to make a Waypoint circuit below your takeoff point.
You will cap at least 10 meters above your takeoff point.
If you want to descend on a mission below your take-off point, you will have to change the Creamery and go for a ride at Litchi's, which allow him to descend to 200 meters below the take-off point.
At Autel, apparently, they have the feeling that the earth is flat and that everything is going on above ............ They did not understand.
I had a discussion with eu and the only solution that they brought me is to lower the minimum value from 30 meters to 10 meters.
It's good, but how to go to film the ruin of the castle which is 50 meters lower in the valley.
Well ....... we can't at Autel ............
This is what blocks me for the moment for the purchase of the
Evo 2.
Pending, perhaps, the release of a future Mavic 3 at DJI.
Here is my conversation with Autel, who did not solve anything.
Me:
Hello,
I would like to point out a small problem concerning the development of Waypoints missions for both Evo 1 and
Evo 2.
It is good to be able to program the heights of the crossing points, but there is a great handicap since we cannot descend below the 30-meter mark.
Have you ever thought that when programming a mission, you may need to descend lower and even below its takeoff point.
When you take off from a cliff or a mountain, you don't always fly with the aircraft above your head. We descend into the valley or under the cliff. This is an absolutely handicapping point when you live in the mountains.
This is one thing that makes your harvest planner obsolete and inadequate.
I have also been flying with Litchi for 4 years and I have always had the possibility of doing missions in the valley by putting negative values to descend lower than the departure.
Hope this will help you in future updates.
For me, this planner cannot currently be used for the Evo 1 and cannot also be used for the
Evo 2.
This is something that must be corrected and adapted quickly because it quickly blocks the interest of the missions, at least for me who has to do more missions under me than above my head.
I will give you an example of Litchi where you can descend the altitude to 200 meters below the takeoff point.
Sincerely. Jean Claude.

Hello Jean
Thanks for your feedback.
Currently, we are updating the waypoint mission, and the minimum height will be changed from 30 meters to 10 meters.
Our Autel Explorer app is mainly for average consumers, we will try our best to satisfy customers' needs.
Best,

Hello, thank you for your answer. But, even 10 meters, do not commit to buying the
Evo 2, because I fly and do missions where I have to descend lower than the takeoff point.
