Official Mavic Pro Range Leaderboard!

Looks like they are improving their batteries at DJI. All 3 of my batteries are around 3500mah to 3600mah. I ordered another battery from DJI and got it today

Could you do a hover comparison and see if it translates into extra flight time? It would be funny if the mAh just counts down faster on the new battery.

Yes, I will do that and post results.

Bone stock. Just playing around trying to get the hang of it.

I did weigh the new battery and no difference there!

44,000 Feet, but it was one way to test the max distance. Stock everything @JakeMaxxUAV

Thanks for the update leaderboard for stock battery

Here are the results. Each battery was charged by the stock DJI charger, hover tested - takeoff 100% and landed at 19%. Old battery (about 1yr old) vs New battery is only 1 min 21 sec difference. Probably just the age difference

@JakeMaxxUAV 59,983ft. T motor 9x3 front and APC 8x4.5 rear props. Thunderpower 3500+4500 externals, DJI battery, and MaxxUAV Evolite kit w/ Nanosync antenna. AC side antennas are flipped around. 4 bars of HD at almost 60k ft!

Easy landing with 13% left. Could have gone 66k ft easy.

Camera equipped.

Mavic came back soaking wet. When it works right, this little guy never fails to impress.

Conditions tonight are terrible. 0 visibility and heavy fog. I couldn't see where the trees are and was in a new home point I've never flown before. To extend the hard distance limit I launched and then walked 1k ft down the road.

After the turnaround point I didn't want to lose signal so walked backwards by looking down at the road lines while pointing the antenna off into the distance. [emoji23]

For it to count you have to make it home

Nice flight lolo. What exactly happens when you hit this "Hard Distance Limit"? Is that what the app is showing with the RC Bars blacked out and disconnected in the top picture? Also what is the Green circle?

Read the top of the 1st page for what proof you need to post

From the aircraft .Dat file, RC signal goes from 100 to zero and the AC initiates RTH. RC signal resumes a short time later.
I've downloaded my RC black box data and hoping to have it analyzed. The Mavic is really handicapped by this limit.

The green circle is a massive NFZ warning area because of a wildlife park.

It's possible that it's the Go App that is enforcing the "Hard Distance Limit" by directing the RC to temporarily drop the connection. It always seemed weird to me that the limit would be enforced in an indirect way. And, that there is no configuration option that specifies the limit.

Have you tried using Litchi or one of the other tablet apps.

Next time out I want to try disconnecting the app and flying rc only.

Without an app, will it RTH if you got disconnected?

 

[chazz]

Is there anyplace to go to show what people have tried so far to get rid if this limit?

 

[lolo780]

It shouldn't. I've flown on RC only, but not at that distance.
