Sport mode top speed

[Anthonyk]

So I have been playing around with sport mode lately. I have noticed that a lot of people are getting 40 plus mph. But as of yet 38.9 is top for my bird. Not that it's really a big deal about the speed as I use it mostly to film. But I'm wondering if dji has slowed them down some with the updates. Anyone else notice this?

iirc the speed indication isn't 100% accurate and other factors like wind etc.

have you tried putting it on a treadmill?

I wouldn't worry about it, but I know I sure wanted to hit that golden 40 when I first got mine. I did extensive testing after first getting my mavic because I couldn't quite hit 40 either. Really depends on the winds, and a few other factors. Even if it hits 40, it's only for a few seconds at a time, even when holding down the sticks longer. Check out BudWalkers CSvViewer and chart the speed. This is a fantastic tool to learn how to use and play with. I've hit as high as 44, but some days my max speed is about the same as yours. The Mavic is also throttled back in tailwinds to limit the speed to somewhere around 40.

So those "go faster stripes" actually work. Who knew.

Tonight I hit 45mph with my Mavic, 58 with my Inspire 1 Pro and 120mph with my Jeep SRT.

I've hit 70kph which is about 43mph with a slight tailwind. Can definitely get a few more kph in a stronger breeze.

Airdata tells me the fastest I ever did was 48.83 mph in Sport mode. I'm thinking that was a day with a decent tailwind. It was on January 31st, with whatever the most recent firmware at the time was. I haven't gotten above 42 mph since then, though.

My controller told me I was going 58mph one day, but There was some tailwind helping me out there.

Who has the longest? [emoji23]

 

[Kestrel]

I hit 43 with tailwind also.

 

[Hightower]

you can get it to go even faster going sideways in wind I've hit 47mph doing that. The wind hitting extra surface area on the side of the mavic vs the rear got me an extra 4mph. (I ran it both ways). Wind was about 15 mph that day

Mine did 533 mph on a Airbus going to Scotland

Now that might just be a record!! Lucky for you the Concorde isn't still flying or your record would likely be shattered.

 

[JDLouisville]

41.0 MPH

Well I just been out this afternoon. Wind was quite no very strong hit top speed of 41 mph. At that speed before I knew it the bird was at the other side off the field. But god what fun it was zipping around at that speed. Drifting it around corners.

 

[dacofty]

41.2 is tops so far
