Wow that was incredible! That really is in a different league. You went 3 miles out and came back and landed perfectly. Watching this was like I was there. Thank you.
Mine arrives tomorrow!!! That range is incredible especially at that frequency and with you on the ground. There must be all kinds of obstacles between you and the drone at 3 miles out!
I flew mine 1.2 miles and tried landing it at a desired spot, but when I got down so low, it lost signal and Return-to-Home kicked in and it came right back. So... it was scary that I lost signal but awesome seeing how good the RTH worked. The video is on my channel titled "DJI Mavic Pro / Range Test (1.2 Mile Flight!).
Cyrex Mavic uses Ocusync to transmit control and video via 2.8, not same as Lightbridge but similar to internet wifi, yes live video stream to tablet. For technical specs you need to go to DJI website
Wow great demo and distance. I guessed you would have 15 percent battery left when you were still mile and half out lol..Good job. Happy Flying !! GrampaKenCanada
I ordered my Mavic yesterday. I cannot wait!! There are old gold and garnet mines tucked into the mountains above Palm springs California. I'm going to use my mavic to find them along with ancient native american sites. Very useful tool that will save me a lot of hiking that's unneeded!! Watch for my videos of the sites I find!
Not Sure if Anyone mentioned this but don't forget that there may have been a tail wind leaving and a headwind coming back and that will increase the ground speed going away but decrease the ground speed coming back. I am sure the battery and distance calculation from DJI may be in a no wind condition. Its common Aviation. It may have been a calm wind on the ground but I guarantee it was not a calm wind above the tree line. FYI. This will throw the battery calculation to get home off and you may end up running out of battery before you land.
Great Range Test..That is the best I have seen thus far..Good thing you used sport mode to get out there faster..I was really suprised at the signal strength because I have watched other videos that lost alot of signal at just 1 mile.
I know from experience with my p3p if the smart rth tells you to go back.. you should listen. If attempting a real long range flight I think the best thing to do is to always start off flying into the wind so you can return home quicker. I would ideally attempt a long range flight into a really light headwind and not to fly long distances on windy days. Nice video!
Hi Tony....sadly no Walmart but I get my fix every year or so when we visit the good 'ol USA. We do have Costco here but absolutely no Mavics yet. Regards my friend Noel
To maximize range given a given battery capacity, I have the feeling that from a throttle position standpoint, you'd want to go against a headwind with higher power (presumably going out against the wind), which would give a higher airspeed, than coming home with a tailwind. With the tailwind, reducing power somewhat (vs the headwind leg) is probably best. This would have the result of driving the outbound and inbound ground speed closer to each other than would a constant throttle position. My reasoning is that this is how you get maximum glide range in a glider in wind: Add half the wind speed to your best glide airspeed in a headwind, subtract half the wind speed with a tailwind until you get to the glider's min sink air speed, where you don't go any slower. The reasoning becomes obvious as a headwind gets stronger and stone: To make any forward progress at all may mean max forward airspeed (full power in the quad), and in a howling tailwind, the quads max range speed (in time aloft, which will be faster than a hover) will keep it aloft longer to take advantage of the tailwind. And I bet this could be approximated by equalizing the outbound and inbound ground speeds. Just a thought that I'm sure is valid to some degree.
So here I am doing some research for a new drone and came across this video at random. What are the chances that as soon as the drone takes off, I recognize the location. This is awesome, and thanks for the range test.
I wonder how much additional flight time we could get by reducing speed to 35 MPH? kinda finding the most efficient speed/flight time for long range missions
Hi Tony Thanks for the video. I have had my MAVIC for about a week now and love it. My question is, What goggles are those you are using. in the beginning of the video, you mention putting them on while you where setting up to take off. You quickly see them laying on the curb pre flight. What 3rd party goggles work with the Mavic.
Order Mavic
goo.gl/9c42Qo
Order Trackimo
store.trackimo.com/?aff=170&
Nice flight, Main thing is you made it back
So could you fly the Mavic say 2 miles land it at a friends house then take off from their return back to you?
Hello. Could you please tell me how can I fly mine that far. Break it down for me please sir
Wow that was incredible! That really is in a different league. You went 3 miles out and came back and landed perfectly. Watching this was like I was there. Thank you.
Outstanding video and flight. Thanks so much for posting! I've been waiting for some real life, long range Mavic tests.
i just unboxed mine! you cant contain the excitement! nothing beats the feeling of getting your first mavic pro
Awesome video! Towards the end, I didn't breathe until you landed. Way to press the envelope!
Mine arrives tomorrow!!!
That range is incredible especially at that frequency and with you on the ground. There must be all kinds of obstacles between you and the drone at 3 miles out!
Thanks! I was wondering if it would run out of battery before range. Amazing little drone, cant wait to get my hands on one!
Well, Congratulations Tony because you and Michael Kincaid are the only ones going that far testing the range of MP ,great job !
Fidelito in South Florida 😎👍

I don't know about that, theres a guy in florida that uses a mavic to chase cruise ships, he goes out pretty far.
Do you have a CZcams link?

Awesome flight last few seconds had me on edge. LoL well Well Done. Subbed!
This s the BEST video I have seen yet! I'm looking getting a drone and this was part of my educational lesson thanks!
Great video Tony!
Thanks for sharing Tony! Excellent demonstration!
Great test of the battery and range! Very informative. I ordered the Mavic too. It's nice to see its real world capabilities.
Wow this is incredible just purchased mine today looking forward to starting to learn !
Absolutely Amazing!!!!! I cannot wait to get my DJI Mavic Pro!!!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!
Great signal at 5km away!!! Can't wait to have one!!
Michele Vagnetti wie viel km hat des insgesamt Reichweite ich versteh den nicht ganz
Michele Vagnetti 17200 feet is only 3.25 miles
17200 ft = 3.26 m = 5.24 km
Michele Vagnetti was it controlled with wi-fi and live video stream to phone???

that music was so damn relaxing and fucking soothing I loved it so I subscribed and your videos are very nice;);););)
That was really awesome, I'm buying one soon!
wow thats very impressive. Thank you for up loading this video im going to get my own mavic pro as soon as I can thank you.
Absolutely incredible. Excellent video and a very daring pilot.
Wow, that is awesome! Thanks for the video.
thank you so much for risking ur drone on the test ! must be heart beating haha
thats so far wow awesome, cant wait to get mine
My son just got his. I have been flying it. Since I fly racing drones I was a little skeptical about the range so your range test is interesting.
Como não deixar um grande like no canal do amigo belas imagens continue assim meu amigo o que depende mim estamos juntos
So excited to get my new Mavic for Christmas!
That was awesome mate thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!
Well done brother. Great flight! Now lets get that thing modified and out to double that distance.
Fantastic safe flight thumbs up 👍
come check out my Solo 3DR video, it flew 40,000 foot.
AWESOME VIDEO TONY!!!!
Wow great demo and distance. I guessed you would have 15 percent battery left when you were still mile and half out lol..Good job. Happy Flying !! GrampaKenCanada
What an amazing drone. Very smart, very stable.
Thanks for the reply, Tony. I'll check into it.
Great stuff... I would have been getting really nervous below 25%... Very helpful...
Just bought mine today and I haven't flown it yet! I can't wait to try this!!!!

great vídeo! Thanks
Taking off from Walmart!! You sir are an Inspiration
Nice Video! Thank you so much for doing this. I would be sweating the whole time! LOL.
Very helpful video!! Thanks!!

It is realy awsome drone, Thank's for sharing
Nice video, hover your mouse over the videos timeline (red loading bar) for a nice kind of timelapse VERY cool :))
thats awesome range. its good to know that my company is selling that mavic pro and we can be proud of that
Great Range Test..That is the best I have seen thus far..Good thing you used sport mode to get out there faster..I was really suprised at the signal strength because I have watched other videos that lost alot of signal at just 1 mile.
Scuba
That was rather intense. I'm definitely buying it in a day or so
Gostei do brinquedo... Parabéns pelo vídeo.

Good test of the Mavics range.
Great video, thanks so much. Looking forward to buying one of these, my first drone.
come check out my Solo 3Dr video, it flew 40,000 foot.
Great Video - Cannot believe how great the range is.
Wao. Great flight!! Looking forward to getting my mavic pro for in a couple of weeks.
Dang, man. Great test. Very impressive.
That was cool. Thanks.

I'm looking into making a purchase now wow this thing is awesome nice video
Great job there
Great video, very informative and nice flying
Sir you are the man, that was some very interesting flying and range test. Very impressive quad. 👍👍
Cool video dude
Awesome!
This is soo cool!!!
Awesome!!
Thumbs up and full viewed honest comment from Taiwan
Insane this drone is a dream
just got mine yesterday cant wait to fly her.
That was a nail biter man, you have some guts, good to know what it's max range is though, great test!
Oh ok that's great. Ty for the info
great vid
Good test. Thank you.
Nice one buddy
Nice video Tony.
Great piloting skills!
Wow!!! Unbelievable.
I believe in you and this video is true and authentic try and what made me believe you that you only have 1400 subscribers
Awesome! gotta buy this.

Thanks very interesting video . Pete Western Australia
Amazing. I have the air. This occusync seems superior. Cant wait for the mavic pro 2
I wonder how much additional flight time we could get by reducing speed to 35 MPH? kinda finding the most efficient speed/flight time for long range missions
What a great flight, sir
pretty nice
Amazing!!!!!
Nice range on stock
just bought me one, ITS FRKN AWESOME. thats some good distance bro, im still taking baby steps, lol
Holy shit! That was a shot right from Apollo 11. Houston to Apollo- 30 seconds (fuel remaining).
Nice, good machine the Mavic
Thanks Tony, have you tried your Headplays with it ? Great vids.
DrDepth89 not yet, I hate wearing glasses. I did try the Cinimizer but still like Glyphs best
Helluva test! 👍🏼 Keep some aspirin in your kit lol.
thank you again Tony for advice, I think mavic best choice.
Volod Kesh You will be pleased. you can order at
click.dji.com/AG_iW83fKej_pO3v9Kk?pm=link
Waw this is so cool
What a suspense😬👏
Great test guess that's about the range with that battery seems to have more range than battery or all the range you will ever need.
dam nice video sir!
Wow.. The best drone
It depends on where u r to know how far it will go. My phantom 4 barely exceeds the mile mark and I live in Chicago Illinois.

Brian Taylor I used the Avagant Glyphs with the hdmi output from my Nvidia Shield tablet. See

With fuel we use the one third rule. A third out, a third back. And a spare third for safety.
This video make me want to have it now
You can't have it now the soonest would be in January 2017
richardoky why took so long?
They are shipping now.
Should get mine today (fingers crossed)
*see price*no thank you
