      Unlikely, since DJI Mavic drones have a 500m (or 1640ft) maximum altitude limit in software, and usually lower due to legal limits. [source]

      That is, unless the neighbor modded the software to go above the legal limits set.

        Yeah seeing as I’m not my parents neighbor, and I’ve also seen the video where he was above the cloud layer that day, you would need to ask him how he did it.

        You can change that maximum altitude ptetty easy in the DJI Fly app, or you can get another app to control the drone.
