- Today i wanted to try maximum range on my DJI MAVIC PRO drone. First test was done one the bridge, i was able to get 5.3km/17388ft distance with going to home with a minute to spare in sport mode.
I decided to go to the next and better location, and was able to fly nearly 7km from home position. BUT, and it is a big BUT, i had to rush to my car to catch a drone, since it was low on battery, it was quite exiting experience :)
In the end, i was sort for around 2km ( i landed 3km away from home point, but it ad some battery left, so it could go 1-1.5km more)
Still, 7km range will use all the battery capacity, and it is too dangerous to fly this drone that far. Also remember, when you are going start to land, you will loose signal, so keep that in mind !!! - Věda a technologie
Glad you got it back.
Great video. Interesting to know that in perfect condition it is really the battery, not the transmitter range that limits flights. I fly with the drone in sight, but good to know the capabilities.
Nice video. Made me laugh at points. I like your description of whats going on.
Nice video, a sub from me. Excellent tutorial, keep them coming! Thanks
Bravo.
Awsome range for a stock controller , great video...
Great job my friend...i was wondering if it really goes that far...how cool...
Lou The Cat Tv no, it can reach 8km, limit of the program :) see new video :)
Rizikuoji:) kita kart ieskosi miske:(
I've gone 4.7 miles before. 25099 feet. With a all stock mavic pro. 30 MPH gives you max flight distance
yes, look up my new video. was able to fly 5miles / 8km, and still had good signal reception, so i could push it maybe to 9km, or even more. (just find a toggle that was limiting to 8km, it was after update, so didn't know this)
But again, you have to catch a drone since you will not be able to go home.
Very cool.
And no range modifications on your receiver?
Would regular mode use less power and farther range?

In my next video I get to 8km without a problem :) and every thing is in stock :)
Really great video. Did you use any extenders or boosters? List your gear in the desc!

Stock everything. Go for my new video, 8km range achieved, limit of of software !! Why should I use range boosters ? :D
Ok, and boosters are good for reliability if you ever get too far out. Keep up the good videos!
I don't know. Never try it, if some want to send me out to try at 8km range, let me know.
Never had problems with range, usually only problem is sometimes phone does not want to work with RC for video streaming.
I think it may have made if it had been in GPS mode using less battery. Either way it was an interesting range test. You should try it again from the same location but do it in GPS mode the whole trip. That would actually show if it uses more battery in sport mode compared to GPS. I'll sub you to see if you decide to give it a try. Good Video!
It is a nice idea.
My thinking was that most amount of energy is used to keep above ground, not flying. Every single helicopter has this issue, it uses engine to stay air born, and more time you stay in this position, more energy you use. Sport mode flies at higher speed and that means less time.
each second copter has to clime 10m (due to gravity), so potential energy is 10*10*0.7 = 70j = 70w
kinetic energy is mv2/2, at 60km/h = 17m/s. so 72j, but after speed is reached it will drop out just to compensate drag, so i don't know how o calculate it, lets say half of that.
so if battery to lift efficiency is 50%, it will match hovering energy requirements
Linas K it never made it home?
I did not risk it. maybe it could, but that would be scraping bottom of the battery energy storage ;)
Linas K I did 5.1 return trip over water. My heart was pounding but it landed on 30% battery haha. There's no getting it back over water if it goes wrong
i made round trip at 6km (12km total) with home landing, again, in sport mode. But it was not interesting video, so i didn't show :)
