Official Mavic 2 Range Leaderboard

I'm a little surprised (disappointed) nobody else is getting any good flights in. I can't be the only one getting decent weather. Somebody needs to step up soon would be more fun

-23 here the past two days. LOL

Another small bump for my max distance. I think even with perfect conditions somewhere around 9.5kms will be my limit. Unless...

What’s a safe min voltage these batteries can take.

3.2v (12.8 for the pack) was my understanding of a very low number, but I notice airdata mentions 13.9 as the red zone.

Anyone have any facts on the matter?

Cheers.

3.2v in flight is very close to the limit and any distance flight ending that low should be a good one.

Here is my cheatsheet of collected battery info from all the record holders.

NOTE: once you hit 3.2v, voltage drops rapidly down into the 2's and will brick your battery.

A rule of thumb is that if your battery percentage indicator does not drop below 1% (to 0%), your batteries will not be damaged. How long you run at 0% will determine battery damage.

I can post a video later but not very much to say really flight was steady this M2 flys like a dream look at stats on this 1 done today as well. wish we could remove limit

How do you stay so close to the ground on these mega distance runs? Is it a flight where you’re flying from the highest vantage point, at the beginning?

This applies the leader of stock and the people in mod class.

Look at his flight in google earth. He launches from the side of a small mountain/hill.

The 59K limit is finally broken!!! Did you have to walk any to make this?

I did back the drone up as far as I could . Than I sat on my truck to fly. Take off point was in the road it did seem to help I Don’t have much room where I’m at to really walk any distance maybe 40 foot

 

[dirtybum]

So what the claim is, if you put the drone 200 feet behind you for takeoff, you can go 200 hundred feet further than the hard limit?

Yes it appears so

Stock and modified class has a hard 100 foot home point/RC radius to account for what is defined in the rules. So in those classes you can tempt fate and go out to say 75 feet and hope that GPS drift or high KP index is low that day. This is all within the rules and I check this on each reported run.

But Unlimited and suicide have no restrictions on this topic.
