Not Enough Range For You?

[LuvMyTJ]

Apparently some feel that way as now you can get this ...

When 4 miles isn't enough

They claim 20X more performance than stock... hmmmmm

DAAAAMMMNNN

20X 4miles = 80miles. Plus the stock battery wont go that far either.

Me thinks they added the '0' by mistake and it is 2X
(anything else is BS)

Wow! Crazy. These guys are so funny. Unfortunately they get many everyday that just "want one" and don't research it

They used to claim the FireBridge was internal amps in the remote... all in one unit!

So, if "FireBridge" is internal amps and a FPVLR Antenna, where do the internal amps go in a Mavic controller?

Looks like getting more than 3.2 miles distance is going to be a challenge due to battery capacity, although a better antenna for more penetration through trees etc would be a big bonus:

Batteries ain't broken in yet

Actually... I imagine they will come out with a slightly higher capacity battery at some point, just like the P4P, they managed another 500mah out of the same size battery...

If you have a spot welder, you can replace the cells with higher capacity Panasonic 18650GA cells. They are rated at 3500 MAh. In a 3s2p pack like the mavic has that is 7000MAh and 80WHr; however I think that's likely what they already have in there or similar. I believe DJI under utilizes the capacity for pack longevity. The 100% you see reported in the app and controller is more like 80% of the cells and likewise, 0% is really 20% left in the cell. The mavic electronics would get wonky if they really tried to use ALL the battery, where voltage drops off quickly under 10%. The pack is rated at 11.4V and 3850MAh. If you only charge to 80% and discharge to 20% the batteries last MUCH longer with more recharge cycles available and more reliability. Electric cars do the same thing, only using a small window of the capacity and gradually using more percentage of the battery over time as the lithium cells deteriorate. As time goes by, the battery producers figure out ways to get more energy density out of the cells to satisfy the electric car industry. We benefit with the new DJI models when they leverage the latest cells in the battery packs.
