I watch lots of sky diving videos and jumps and the planet does appear to be curved.

Jumping From Space! - Red Bull Space Dive - BBC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9oKEJ1pXPw

You could argue that's a "fish eye lens" or some sort of doctoring of video footage to make the planet appear round. Not sure I believe that.

I don't pretend to be smarter than Flat Earthers. Not here to call names. I'm actually open minded to flat earth theories. I'm just unconvinced and think that the globe theorists do a good job of debunking flat earth theories and countering the arguments.

Even in other sky dives, there appears to be curvature to how the clouds cover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6VpZ3bnnKI

Flat earthers keep saying that "there's no curve" from these high altitudes and yet curve does seem apparent.

You already said yourself it's fisheye. Also our own eyes are fisheye lenses. That's why the horizon appears to be curved. It's how our eyes work.

What's the highest altitude that flat earthers were able to reach on their own and take pictures? Are we capable of taking pictures that do not distort the plane of view?

Also, at what altitude do globe theorists claim the curvature can be seen? 100 kilometers?

I can't tell you.

Not sure I believe that.

You shouldn’t, and in this specific case you don’t have to!

Just wait until it switches to the camera inside the pod itself - the horizon is perfectly flat again. Or look at the footage shot on/near the ground which displays the curvature added by the fisheye lens used for the external shots.

I'm actually open minded to flat earth
