Mavic Speed?

[FunN4Lo]

I have owned several Phantoms. My most recent, a P4P. I am used to the P4P 25mph speed in P mode to get out/back where I want to go.

I just bought a Mavic Pro (original). Top speed in P mode is only 11-12 mph. It screamed 40+ in sport mode. Is there a setting for P mode to increase the top speed?

Turn off obstacle avoidance sensors and it will fly faster as it does not have to worry about anticipating obstacles.

Thanks as I was about to post mine went twice that fast or thought it did BDOG.I never fly with it so now I know why .

The P4P flies faster with sensors on.

This is true! The Mavic does not. Apples to Oranges comparison.

What has that got to do with your OP.

 

[dirkclod]

Whoops you fast there DOG

Hmm... both DJI products with sensors?!? How fast does your Mav fly in P mode with sensors?

Give me an apple to apple then. What's your Mav speed in P mode with sensors on?

Don't fly with them as I stated do not with the 2 ether except when it comes on in different modes .

You should check your Phantom again.
13.5 metres/sec (31 mph) with obstacle avoidance enabled
16 m/s (36 mph) with OA off.

If your Mavic is only making 11-12 mph in P mode, there's something wrong.
It should be faster than that even with OA enabled.
Are you sure you're giving correct numbers?
Maybe reading metres/sec as mph?

Wait... whaAat?

Take the P4P out of DJI's "ideal conditions" and add in some wind, and no checks needed. Performing as designed

Thats what I think, hence the reason for my post

Are you sure you're giving correct numbers?

Yes, hence the reason for my post

Maybe reading metres/sec as mph?

Nope, hence the reason for my post

I’m sorry do you have a question. I do not fly with OA on .
I keep that off but with the M2P it comes on when doing hypers or POI’s. After I do one I cut it back off.

Wind or not, the Phantom flies faster with OA disabled.

If your Mavic is only making 11-12 mph, that's very unusual (unless you are flying into a strong headwind).
The only way to make any intelligent comment beyond this is if you post some flight data.

Yes , a flight log would be a good idea. If you want to provide it here then this is the process. That way the log can be dissected for abnormalities.

An never did I say it didn't. I fly construction documentation and inspection. So I rarely, if ever, fly without OA on.

I can do that. Probably won't be until tomorrow

Here is my flight log. I am flying at an AMA field were I do all of my test n tune. I was just flying around to get the feel of the MP after I set my EXP and YAW rates the way I have on my P4P

You will see a couple of wind warnings. AirData says it was 13.8mph coming from the SSE during the flight. UAV forecast was about the same before take off.

The larger loop I did at only 50ft altitude, because with no forward speed, I was having issues flying at all with the wind speed at altitude. The loop gave me up wind, down wind, and cross wind. With forward throttle pegged for much of that, it wasn't moving very fast, even down wind.

What do you see causing the issue?

Nothing because the file you've attached just produces unbelievable crazy numbers.
