Flew in Sport mode for 1st time today

[Chris R]

Wow, what a blast. It is so much faster. I definitely kept in out in the wide open for this.

How fast were you able to get?

Yup, this little Mavic is almost as fast as my P4P.... Mavic on tiny motors and 3 cells, P4P on bigger motors and 4 cells - whoo hooo

In sports mode, what functions are disabled? I am too scared to try it

Will it keep altitude?

The sensors, front and bottom. I believe that is all. RTH, GPS, etc. still work.

Hi

which application gives you the stats as shown above ? is that Lichi ?

also i see TOP SPEED 62 mph, wait !! isn't this more than 80 Km/h ??? i didn't know the MAVIC could reach such speed !! i always thought it was more around 35 mph in sport mode (55 km/h max)

From the initial screen in the App before connecting to your device in the upper left hand corner there will be a paper airplane. Click on it and it will show you all of the flight data as well as all of your flight logs. From this screen, click on the cloud icon in the upper right corner to synchronize all of your flight logs to DJI's server and then you can view them whenever you want even from a different device as long as you are logged in to your account.

There is a glitch with the speed readings as although it displays MPH, it is actually still reporting KPH. 62KPH is about 38.5MPH.....The readout on the remote will be correct but not in the app.

App speed reported can be 50% higher than actual, due to a bug. The controller readout is accurate.

 

[GadgetGuy]

You beat me to it!

ok thanx for the indication for those stats, i saw that airplane icon a few times but was always too busy with some other checking to figure out what it was

for the speed, ok i understand my surprise now

It looks like it's labelling kph as mph, this bug was noted early on but I guess they kind of like it to be 'fast' so low priority
You could get to 60mph with wind behind though.

Sport mode is great. I have used it to get to my location faster, to out run birds that I think are eyeing my drone (I am paranoid about birds attacking the drone) and just for the fun of it. I always take mine up to 200+ ft before I fly in sport mode. This means I will not hit powerlines or trees. Remember, at that speed, your stopping distance sucks.

I just love the sound of it in sports mode as it flies past you and fairly low..............................sooooooooo much fun!!!!!!!!

... it also looks WAY cool buzzing by.... and really it is way quieter than my Phantom 4P...

Indeed, but certainly not without a 25mph tailwind, which would make it very difficult to return home. Ask me how I know!

Requires about 150 feet to stop, as I recall!
It also fries the battery in no time flat!

Good one and I thought my run was at a reat speed

Mavic is, indeed, very quiet, compared to the P4, P3P, and P4P! It's the perfect surveilance drone from 400 feet! No one will even know it's there!
