distance

Hi everyone, I am using Air2s and litchi for surveys. My collegue made the flight plans on litchi and for some of them the starting point is about 600m from the home location. In the cases like this, when I try to fly I get error showing that the starting point is too far and the drone wont...

Hi all. I was trying to do a Dronie last night but wasn't able to choose the distance that it would fly to. I did it anyway and it flew a short way before stopping and flying back (the video was fine so it didn't abort) Any ideas, please?

Hello, I want to know what is the recommended distance to stay away from a military zone in Spain. Because I found a pretty good location to fly but there are 2 military zones nearby. One of them is 2.5km away, the other is 3.5km away from my planned takeoff point. I want to set the maximum...

Hi, Is there any way to add parabolic signal boosters to the Mavic Air 2. I'm getting a very weak signal at around 1km (0.62 miles). With my Mavic 2 Zoom, I was getting over 5km (3 miles) with the parabolic boosters in the same area. Thanks for your help.

I wanted to do a range test with my Mavic Air. So I went to a location where there wasn’t much around me to interfere with the connection. I flew into the wind, but I only got about 3300 ft away before I started loosing connection to the drone. I even had trouble activating the return to home at...

I've lost contact several times at about 3000 feet. In test on private land I lost it at 1000' or less with trees in between.

No doubt you have to factor headwind/tailwind into your planning for a flight, and plan to land with a reserve. However, there’s another thing to consider: should you fly in Normal or Sport Mode? If you have a headwind that is half of your max speed in Normal Mode, wouldn’t you be better off...

Hello, I'm from Long Island but moved out to Southwest where I've purchased and have flown my Mavic Pro - with pretty good range. I've flown here in areas with and without residential and commercial interference. I have seen in dense areas typically I'm averaging 1-1.5 miles and in sparse...

Does anyone else experience their Mavic Air having a seemingly low distance? I am traveling around the World for 4 months and going to places like Iceland etc when drone flying is quite safe, but since flying in areas like Greece and other places I have noticed that I can’t really get much...

Guys I’m in need of help this is probably my last crack at this mavic, since day one it’s been giving me a headache. The problem out the box has been with distance. I’ve read so much on issues with distance, I’ve tried troubleshooting the issue myself and to no avail. So about 4 months ago I buy...

Hello All Mavic Pros! Here are stats my after flying this bird that looks like a crab for a week... # of flights: 34 # of flights returned to my 14x20 cardboard landing pad with x on it. 30 Total Distance: 207236 ft Total flight time: 4 hrs 36 min Top Total Distance in 1 flight: 26121 ft...

Hi all, today when I wanted to take some shots I wasn't able to fly further than about 30 m. The drone stops and the remote tells me max flight distance reached. So I landed and restarted it, checked to see if beginner and distance limit was disabled, it was, and tried again. It still did the...

Hey Guys I don’t know if this the right place to post, but I have a question. I am loosing connection to my mavic at 800m distance normally one can go to 6000M (that is what dji say ) All my settings are at max distance and max alti. I have 21 satellites at my disposal. I am not recording...

I've been experimenting with how to conduct BVLOS ops ( Beyond Visual Line Of Sight) legally and became curious about how far away you could start a Mavic so I tried and experiment. My observer friend Ian took my Mavic and Phantom 4Pro+ a little over a kilometer away ( across open water for best...

Okay, so starting with a few points. -I've tried firmware .700, .800 and now .900 -I've recently upgraded from a Phantom 3 Standard to my Mavic Pro -I'm familiar with correct antenna positioning for best signal -I'm currently using an iPhone 5S as the device with my remote in Airplane Mode I'm...

Just played with my mavic photo/video settings in my back garden (testing) with motors off, gps signal 11-12 sats, mavic in the same spot all the time but the distance displayed on the dji go 4 app are going slowly up and down in range about 5m, is this normal behaviour ? (I guessing gps...

In a residential area, I lose a few bars of signal strength around 1,000 feet (around 300 AGL). I maintain VLOS, so I'm sure it's due to WiFi interference. My questions is: How much do you trust the Mavic to alert you of a weak signal, or return to home in the event of signal loss. I...

I have used Hover and B4UFly for pre-flight checks. I have used 2 different computer mapping applications to check the fly zone radius from a local Class C airport which I live by. The 2 computer apps both calculate the distance from the airport (center/tower) to the location I have flown twice...

I got my Mavic pro a month ago and I love it. I thought I would try and long range test in the desert so there won't be any interference. Around the city, I can never get more than a couple thousand feet. Unfortunately, I thought I was recording my screen but I didn't. I got to 16,111 feet...

I have been flying the Mavic for about 2 months now and have accumulated a little over 4 hours total flight time. I am having a very difficult time getting over the fear of crashing this thing and much of the fear comes from my inability to determine distance from an object horizontally and...
