Long range flight over Buenos Aires city with my mavic air 2

[Korrd]

I recently got a Mavic Air 2. After building confidence with it, I decided to attempt a long range test over my home city to see how well it can perform on a high interference environment. I managed to do 5 kilometres so far. I am amazed at how much better it is compared to my mini. It just blows it out of the water. The mini can do 1km with yagis while maintaining a stable connection, and 2km at most without video link. This thing did 5k no sweat, and I stopped there as there was some headwind on the way back and I was not sure what to expect battery-wise.


Here is the reulting video. Enjoy.

You are very brave to attempt this- congratulations. Great footage and view of Buenos Aires. Did you notice that the horizon was tilted in both the main frame and verified on the grid. Do a gimbal calibration.

I was shocked to see how many tall buildings Buenos Aires has. Impressive.

Yeah. I hadn't noticed at first. Thanks!

I used to be quite conservative regarding city flights. But since the drone seems to be quite reliable, I am no longer scared about losing it. Average case scenario, I'd just land on some tall building then go get it.
