New World Record: Epic flight bone stock (smart controller + mavic 2 pro ) 11km one way, 22 km round trip.

.

Max throttle both ways, avg speed 75km/ hr, PWM % 75-80%,stayed in the yellow though. Had to climb up to 1100 ft going over a peak on the way back. SC froze while doing screen recording and running go4 so had to ditch screen recording. What a pita. Will have to process the 4K video for images now.
Mavic 2 is unlike other quads so far, it’s max efficiency lies in fast speeds, exactly what will have to be calculated but the combination of the high energy Li ion batt, the propulsion sustenances with the esc and the motors and the propellers makes for a mean machine.

Quick, someone call Guinness!

Why someone, you have been very helpful in this forum, please do the honors

How about this. You have earned the Mavicpilots Guinness world record. Thats about the best I can do.

Do you monitor the Leaderboard?

 

[amstar]

Yes I do.

The SC is entirely a different beast.

This is an outstanding flight, its award winning on so many different levels, it would be nice if DJI were to acknowledge it in some way.

How did you calculate average speed? Did you stop for a restart the turn around point?

22km in 22min 36s = 58km/hr in Australia....

Awesome flight no matter how fast you were moving!!!!!

The SC screen froze during screen recording... did it come back on? Were you able to figure out how far the drone was when it froze?

It froze for about 30 seconds, I kept moving forward as the route was clear; this happened quite early moments after Qi switched on screen recording so had VLOS and I’m familiar with this route.
But obviously for the Arm cortex SC which has to function as a radio and as a visual receiver (probably as an afterthought by DJI) it was too much.

Sorry, that should be max speed (approximately).

Congratulations! I don't have the guts to try going that far yet but since I got the SC, everything seems to be working so well in terms of connection and other factors!

Thx. I’ll post some video clips soon.

Below are some video clips after processing. Some of the Dashware data or gauges (compass) are not exactly accurate esp also since I trimmed content:

Just need to ask the question about VLOS. Have the CASA regulations changed recently ?

 

[Gizmo]

What a joker (see what I did there? .... No?...goes and hides in the corner)

Just need to ask- you know the difference between India and Australia? One being that CASA probably has no jurisdiction.

Wait, dont tell me. Is Australia the one with the Kangaroos?

Must be, because we sell these shirts here (and there's no other country which causes similiar confusion ?)
