  • Quick range test of the new DJI Mavic 3. Definitely the furthest range I've gotten out of any drone, but does it live up to the full 30km? #DJIMavic3 #Mavic3 #Comparison

    so that requires a line of sight? Is it possible to fly say 5 km away and then land it somewhere? Or the signal will be instantly lost if you try to go down at that distance?

    great to know whet the range is. Thanks for testing. I agree, the battery life is amazing. I went from the Pro 1 to the 3 and I feel like I can go forever. I would love to know your views on the wide angle lens. I find myself breaking ceiling limits to get more scenery, and I think the wide angle lens could fix that. what's your view though?

  • @ericvaughan11
    @ericvaughan11 Před 2 lety +1

    You did it right, as long as you have line of sight it is crazy how far you can fly these especially the Mavic 3. Just ordered mine can't wait, the latest firmware update that fixed last few issues finally (7 zoom camera, GPS locking on, etc.) got my attention now. I knew this drone would be amazing, but like a lot of electronic manufactures they released it before fixing most of the bugs. Having a 4/3 sensor and 7x zoom camera in an affordable drone so you don't have plunk down money for say Inspire 2 w/X5S gimbal & lens for $3000 more is crazy good. I know lot of people complained about price when first came out but I think it is bargain for what you get.

    • @WW5RM
      @WW5RM Před rokem

      Line of sight? The FAA say something? Huh? What you say FAA? I don't know but I think the FAA is screaming something about 5 miles away! VLOS? Who? I never met her!! Buwahaha!
      I do believe VLOS is broken with every flight I make! LOL Hell the Mini1 will easily break VLOS! It's ancient!

  • @WestVirginiasBigred271
    @WestVirginiasBigred271 Před rokem +2

    I noticed that you didn’t use your compass to help you keep your controller position pointed towards the drone. It really helps increase range the blue/ green dot with the arrow pointing towards the arrow on the compass and hold your controller horizontal so that the signal is pointing straight towards the drone. I’ve gotten 6 miles with my mavic air 2

    • @WestVirginiasBigred271
      @WestVirginiasBigred271 Před rokem +1

      @Verbal Ninja Are you using your compass to make sure you are pointing your controller towards the drone? If not then that’s probably why. Hold your controller horizontally the signal coming from the top of the controller is pointing directly towards the drone. Because if you are facing the east and the drone is flying south or any other direction you won’t get the best range results.

  • @solen1849
    @solen1849 Před 2 lety

    Fun fact, not sure when they started using the boosted occusync (either with the mavic pro or the mavic 2) but the drones before the mavic 3 were capable of boosting to 3 watts transmission. The mavic 3 doesn't even boost to 3 watts - im assuming for cooling reasons vs battery life and weight. If you test the control link of all the mavic series (not sure the original mavic) they all boost to nearly 3 watts when powered up. What does this mean? Well - the occusync system has overhead - meaning if cooled and allowed to use its full watts - it could go further.

  • @markgiles8527

    Don’t question why a drone can go that far. It’s better to have than to have not. Better to go with than to go without. I live in a place where there are plenty of hills, and I have never seen them all. A drone like this and the ability to fly to these remote spots, instead of walking, riding, or driving, just opens up a whole new world for me to explore. We need the range to explore. Which is why I wish DJI didn’t bring out every drone with the best camera for cinematography. I’d like, for once, options with the cameras. I’d like just one with a x30 zoom.

It should go much more further before the signal go weak!! I dont understand dji advertising, even with the battery thing it says 46 mins and i can understand its up to 46 meters and in real flight wont give full minutes but all flight test videos shows its not flying more than 33 mins !!! The mavic air 2 half the price and its real flight time 29 mins and i reached range 5 kilometers . I dont think mavic 3 good as much as the marketing for it .

    Range is even better if you have a DJI RC Pro controller don't ask me why but it is at least that's my experience. Also the price point for the Mavic 3 Cine is not worth the extra dollars $$$ that it cost just to have an extra zoom camera owning both the Cine and the Classic I see really no big difference other than the classic only having one camera.
