Video proof is not required for the Leaderboard. However, @JB999 has proven his range time and time again with his videos and proof screenshots.
He is currently this threads world record holder for the Mavic Air in distance.

What do you think of the Protek 3600mah? It’s 221g before any modification and I think it got the best mah/size/weight and it can fit on the side easily or bottom with some modifications using a light bracket from eBay.

I wasn't questioning his record, I've been following the thread and read the rules. Just wanted to see history.

I’m sure he will post it soon enough.

I personally have it, but he will have to post it.

A stripped down ProTek 3600mah might weigh just as much, giving you 600mah more

Its not my pictures, but yes the module is installed the way shown, the third and fourth pin, both from left and right, are the ones where the mod is attached.

Just got my batteries today. Sadly they had the t-dean connector on, and the battery extender is a xt60… I guess I’ll fix them on the weekend just need to find someone here in Kuwait that has the xt60 connectors

OK, fellow members of the Leaderboard, Can anyone challenge JB999?
Probably not at this time. However, There are several slots open for the challenge.
Tell others to get on the board if they think they have a better distance and range for the MA.
We like competition!

Just got my batteries fixed with the right connector yesterday. I'll probably do a test today

How is the test done? Just go in one direction until you loose control or battery level is to low and then the MA return by itself?
I am afraid to loos it doing a range test. What is the risk involved doing this?

Don't go for it on your first try, go in small steps instead and watch your battery level. Start with 1km and back, get a feel for wind and battery % per 1000m.

Wow, I wish I could achieve that distance.
My best is 2,500m although in an urban area and only owned it for 2 days so I've yet to fly it in the field.

Remember hi is using a modified drone. Several external battery and I guess he uses some to get antenna signal to get more in one direction and his is for sure in FCC and not CE mode.
