The position of a UAV within a three-dimensional space is changed based on a change in position of a controller of the UAV. First and second sensor data are produced using sensors of the controller to maintain stable altitude output for the UAV. The first sensor data indicates a geolocation of the controller, and the second sensor data indicates a barometric pressure of an environment in which the controller is located. The first and second sensor data are post-processed using a complementary filter based on respective altitude measurements of the first and second sensor data to determine an altitude of the controller. A position of the controller is determined within a three-dimensional space based on the altitude. Data indicative of the position of the controller within the three-dimensional space is then transmitted to the UAV to cause a change in a position of the UAV within the three-dimensional space.
