- Today we are going to test RC range in P - Position mode. Last test was in sport mode, i was able to get up to 6.7km after RC signal get too week. This time in P mode i was able to reach maximum distance of 8km (limited by DJI Go app) !!! This is in completely stock mode, no tricks, just a good visibility.
Why i was able to fly to 8km in P mode instead of 6.7km in S mode before i loose signal in same space i don't know, maybe it was the luck, but i think i could go 10km since i still have 3 bars left.
DJI, you did a good job with your OcuSync technology, 10km of range is very good with simple antennas !! very impressed :) - Věda a technologie
Thanks Linas, really well planned experiment. Enjoyed it very much.
You got yourself a Drone and a BRZ. That's awesome man!
Great vid, I’ve been wondering what the RC capabilities are on these
Cheers
Nice distance test...love the Mavic. I have a Mavic and am able to get about 3 miles of range in a heavy urban environment, which is amazing. Occusync is a fantastic system.
With my Mavic 2 Pro, I covered so many miles. From California to New Mexico... by the way we were both in the car. :D
Thanks for sharing - well done brother...
i think you could have made it home also.
Wonder if the speed affects the total distance?
Like, if you would have done 50kmh instead, would you have made shorter total distance?
So how this done when my mavic pro and all my friends only go to around 3.5km in p mode with no wind and gets close to half the batt gone , we even tryed heaps diff new batts crusing around 32kph?
So cool 👍🏼
how come it says position mode? shouldn't it say Gps mode?
Great video even in 2022 …that’s a very nice a
Wow !!!
Awesome
Well done, but I'm skeptical that you made 8km without changing the RC mode to FCC. Please explain.
Mikel Manitius perhaps he's in a country that transmits FCC already?
where can i buy one of these at,,,?
that is so cool
Sounds like Borat,. Very Niiiiice.
In the right location it's possible to go nearly 17km out on stock antenna, obviously using extra batteries though
Great video. Thanks. Glad you did this so I don’t have to LOL.
Wow. A 12 minute video of a flight range test is very telling.
Easy to do it : You seat in car following the Flycame untill the end of battery : 10km ok
My drone battery cant do it... I have the mavic pro. Can you explain me how you do it??
Open space with a clear line of sight
sveikas turiu klausimeli, Linai ar cia orginalus akumuletorius kur gavai su dronu DjI ar cia taip vadinama (aftermarket) batereika??????aciu is anksto.
Viskas originalu, niekas nemodifikuota :)
wow....You are the mavic range master....groooooovy....thanx for cool videos brother...
Thanks
It was program limited, it could go 10k i think, but, it will NEVER return to home. Just saying :)
Wow! 8km???? I was considering Anafi... Mavic air is the right choice probably? Thanks for the great test!!
Oh this is Mavic pro. >.< Of course...
Anafi and Mavic Pro are both good. If range really matters go for the Mavic Pro, it is unbeatable in its price class for range. If portability and being able to fly anywhere matters go for the Anafi. Or get both, I did.
I can do a manual point of interest spiral around a building two miles away, not just fly there and get home again but have reasonable levels of fine control to shoot video.
Absolute range isn't really important, what matters is how far away you can make your drone do what you want. With the Mavic Pro I can fly around a building a mile away, head off to another one two miles away, circle around that one controlling gimbal and zoom and then take in a third target as well all on the one battery. 22 minutes of flight and over 9,400 metres travelled pointing at pretty stuff, not just flying in a boring straight line.
Mavic Air is shit, because it doesn't use Ocusync, but WIFI as RC-connection. If you get 500m out of the Air, you are lucky. In a city, or behind tree-lines, connection can drop after 150m already. Get the Mavic Pro or Mavic Pro 2 (or Zoom). Every model with Ocusync as RC-connection will mange holding connection over kilometers.
@@hirschheisstdermann It's not shit, it's just a pedestrian drone good for selfies and flying around quite close. If that's what you want to do it's a great drone. But if you want to fly and fly and fly and fly and explore and then fly some more you're much better off with a Mavic Pro or Mavic 2.
If you KNOW you will never fly it beyond line-of-sight and the specially marked out safe perimeter in your local park where you stand in your Boy Scout uniform with your fluorescent hi-vis tabard and you're a narcissist rather than an explorer the Air is a good choice. If you love to fly far as free as a bird then no WiFi drone will ever really satisfy you. You need something with serious range. And on top of that, the Air is gay.
@@reconnaissancesquadron222 lel ;)
how come you get these negative altitude readings when landing?
Staf VH
Simple.
Take off was on the Hill, landed in a valley. That's why :)
Linas K ah ok...no experiments lately?
no, working on other projects.
Nice one, was that completely standard out the box?
Yes, no modifications, just charged batteries :)
You are definitely using an extra battery for this. What's the name of the extra battery, please?
No battery, everything is stock
Are you flying In CE mode outside of USA or FCC power
It's obvious! FCC mode.
CORFEX Trading how do you know that...he isn't located in the US, so normally
it works in CE mode. Don't know if it can be forced to fcc
Staf VH This is Europe. There are no such trucks in N.America. Yes, you can force RC to transmit in FCC mode.
CORFEX Trading not without a hack I suppose, since the Mavic detects his location via gps and sets its output mode accordingly

Am I missing something here. Because the return flight was almost 4000m short of its return to home distance. In theory if I had a never ending battery and I drove behind my drone it could travel 100 kilometres. I call bullshit. Even some of the best range tests I’ve seen are usually around 5Ks and that’s super flat terrain at an altitude of 120Ms.
I could go back,but I would be landing at 0%. This test is for video transmission
This video may have cost me £1000 to watch :)
Mike Holt why ?
Because he is going to buy one now!!!
I did!! ;)
Hope you are happy !
I love it Linas!!! ;0)
is it filmed in Latvia?
No, Lithuania, around 160km off :)
how is it possible that you got 8km, in EU countries range is restricted to 4km.
Raiko Kütt
Don't know. Just try to fly as far as possible :)
gal gali mestelet kur pirkai sita drone ?????????nes as radau net 5 prdavejus kurie teigia ,kad yra originalus produktas ir tipo atitinka visus duomenis
Galiu savo parduoti, ketinu mavic 2 pro pirkti, su keturiomis baterijomis. Kažkaip manasis nei karto bėdų nekėlė, net per didžiausius vėjus skraidė, prieš tai du gana greitai sudaužiau, gal tiesiog pasisekė su teisingai surinktu hardwaru
ka nori uz savo??????kiek laiko jau naudoji???
You could have made it home in sports mode
COOL!!!!
Is mavic pro better or mavic air?
Depends on what you are going to use it for. The pro for me is by far better than the air due to the range. Others will say Air is better because its smaller and has backward obstacle avoidance.
@@Koelkop Others will say, the Air is just a crappy toy that can't withstand wind, will lose connection after a couple of hundred meters, and if you adjust the Mavic Pro's camera right, you'll get an image as good as the one oft the Air. Only real advantage the Air has, is it's tiny form-factor and weight. But that's also a disadvantage, when it comes to windy conditions.
ramin arb YES
The thing is with these range tests, the only thing that really matters is inference, obviously out there you have none, put it in a built up area and you can kiss your range goodbye
It's not just interference. If you can see in the line of sight, it can go very far. I did go 4km over city, no problems, if i am on top of hill or something.
it stop working 200m behind trees
Yes, but no. I've flown my Mavic over 3,5km (and returned it) in Bangkok city. Don't know if you could go 5,6,7 or more km, when you don't plan to come back. But I had nearly full reception in a city that is littered by signal interference. Ocusync is just hilariously good. With a Mavic Air or Spark you can't even fly further than 300m because of WIFI interference.
@@jarisipilainen3875 Bullshit
11:14 How come it says it's 3,885 Meters from you?
He went closer to the drone in his car.
Messing emergency parachute
allways keep line of sight to your drone.8km lol. eagle eyes
beje neblogas skrydis nuejai ausciau limito
the video is good exept why do you risk flying above 122M height, think of other planes flying too..
I don't have the guts to even go a mile much less as far as you and part of the return in your car driving to it I would be freeking out but it really sounds like you know the equipment really well,everyone giving you a hard time about line of sight if you watch dji s own videos the are flying out of sight I would think having one in follow mode trying to keep up with you while bicking through a city would be much more dangerouse then flying over trees like you were,as long as you are under 400 feet and not ubove people I don't see a problem you can see all you need to see whats going to be behind you,when I walk down the street I can't see behind me and i'm just fine I think what you did was fine as long as you were not over people or the road. And the on guy was right I would have landed further off the road,is nothing else people passing you are not going to be paying attention to the road they will be looking at the drone.
You must have had high tailwind since when you landed you only had about 18% plus you got high wind warning a few times. Nice Click Bait though lol
well, doesnt count if you cant fly back to original home point..
Kriss987 Everyone knows how far it can go in a straight line you’re not pushing the envelope doing this if you want to get respect find out what the most you can get out of it in one trip out then back again .
Check my Videos out .
I’ve had a standard Mavic go out over 4 miles and come back .
Guy was testing the range....just sell your Parrot and buy a Mavic :)
well it counts maxium transmitter range. no need come back LOLyou can fly circle around you if you need fly distance
That sudden signal increase after 7km distance is quite suspicious for me, did you jumped into the car and drove after the drone? To make a true range test you should set your controller as home point, not the takeoff point...
@@Smasher77th Why not making sense? For me range means the distance from where i can return safely. Otherwise he could snap some high gain directional antennas and fly the drone 10 miles out and land when battery is out.. But that will not be a true range....
only bad thing is you landed on the road next time try landing in a quite area
It look like it was close to cars, in reality it was not, nearly 1.5m. But yes, it was a bit risky.
Linas K but right next to a grass strip runway for aircraft with real people on board ! That's dangerous
So u drive around 4km + from the distance the drone takes off and follow the drone....no wonder u get 8km range...when u land it says you are still 4km+ away from the takeoff place LOL
thumbs down for leaving the alarm on
You don't have to fly line of site? Very dangerous doing that man!
N'th DEGREE AERIAL PERSPECTIVES
It was line of site, just at 800m, its tik small to see it. Also near The road, i could hover 5min ant i will be with The car near the copter, so it was safe :)
What an unsafe place to takeoff/land by the roadside! If your drone went sideways while landing and hits a car going at high speed, it is JAIL TIME for you boy! You give this hobby a bad reputation.
Tutu Roo - girl... you must have been the child that didn’t get the hugs....!
Buy a drone.
First of all. The car noises in the background are shit! Why do all the drone guys always put shitty audio in their videos? Second, you can go further than 8km. Just turn off maximum range 8000m in you controller settings...
