If not mistaken, units such as the Phantom 3 (one of the better) actually has an internal sensor for height off the surface. So in your scenario HellRaZoR, it would follow the terrain down the mountain at 400' above.
Someone who actually has a Phantom 3 can correct me if wrong.

You are correct it automatically stays 3-4 feet off the ground does not matter where you are. It also uses GPS for guidance / hovering... for example you send it up 200' in the air and don't touch the controls, the drone will hover in the exact same spot even in a heavy wind. If it loses radio signal it automatically will return "home" by flying straight up to your designated height (to clear all obstructions) then horizontally until it is directly over its home position, then straight down to home and will hover at 3'-4' until a controlled landing is functioned by the joystick. They really are quite remarkable!
