Amazing video! You live in a beautiful part of the World, so scenic.

Depends on a lot of factors, such as where you are flying, if there are any obstacles or obstructions between you and the drone. If you’re in an open area with not much which might cause signal issues, then I would say 1000 meters is pretty poor. How long have you had it? If you’re still in the...

It is hard to say, you're right. However, I live in a very rural area in West Virginia. There's not much other than fields, some trees and a few deer! Pretty ideal conditions for line of site drone flying. I takeoff from an elevated location, so there aren't any immediate structures, man made or...

It varied, but no higher than 400 ft. I mean, it wasn't an exact scientific test where I could reproduce the exact conditions each time. But, having flown there for 12 months or so, I have come to know what I can realistically expect when it comes to range and signal loss, especially as the MA2...

Yep, I always fly in the same area. It's a spot with fairly flat ground, minimal buildings so interference isn't really a concern. My original MA2 clearly had some kind of hardware issue. I recalibrated compass and IMU several times, but it just wouldn't keep a signal past 3000 feet away.

This thread is a little old now, but I've also had range issues with the Mavic Air 2. Bought it on Monday after owning a Mavic Pro 1 for around a year. Took the MA2 out to spots I used to regularly fly the MP1, I could not get it to go past 3000 feet away from me before signal dropout. My MP1...
