Official Mavic Pro Range Leaderboard!

I'd love to see a patch that shows power % all the time.
Lolo, you can simply start the motors with the switch in Sport position. By default, Mavic will start in Normal mode. Then you can fly in Normal mode with power % shown on the “radar” view. Simply flick the switch back and forth if you want to be in (real) Sport mode.

If you have re-assign the Sport switch for Manual, then you will need to change the default motor start up to Manual and assign the Sport switch back to Sport. However, I am not sure if the Mavic will immediately take off under Manual mode as I haven’t tried it myself.

Finally made it to the stock leader board! I have been trying to do this for months. Wind conditions had to be just right. Still had slight headwind coming back.

22,278 ft out or 8.5 miles round trip puts me 16th on Leaderboard. I'll take it!

- Completely stock from box
- Followed power lines to avoid people
- Moderate interference area mostly from neighborhood wifi or possibly power substations.
- Mostly flat landscape
- Using battery with 58 charges.

All stock on my MP with only parabolic antenna reflector. Done the other day with no wind so was absolutely perfect conditions. Got a out distance of 24,130 feet(4.57 miles) and total feet 51,762(9.8 miles round trip).
Very little interference
Used battery with 20 charges up to this run

Ok guys, now that some people are finally getting their Mavic's delivered, people are wondering what kind of range this thing has compared to the P4 & P3. We're looking for the longest distance from home, not the total traveled. If you would like to be added, please post the following:

  • Screenshot showing the maximum distance from home, either from the DJI Go App, Litchi, or Healthydrones.
  • Screenshot of you making it back home
  • Please describe the flying environment, such as tree interference, hills, buildings, etc.
  • What type of mods, if any, such as antenna upgrades, battery mods, etc.
  • Tag me in the post so I get a notification. Tagging here is just like Twitter, @JakeMaxxUAV
I will keep this list updated. If I miss your post, please send me a PM.

Hello everyone! Im new here from Wisconsin. I bought a brand new DJI Mavic Pro on 4-29-18. Its completely stock. I dont use any signal boosters. Having a great time flying it.

The image below is my most recent long distance flight (5-6-18) Over 3.8 (20,234 feet) miles from where i was standing.

Im so amazed at how well this drone flies and the technology packed inside it.

Total flight distance was 40,872 feet.

I messaged OP. Oh man do I hope I'm reading things correctly. If I am, I should be in 1st place unmodified.

Testing the FCC-mod on my Mavic Pro. Reached 5446meter before battery smart RTH kicked in.
I also used a parabolic antenna reflector. Very happy with the range and signal! :)


Great flight!

What firmware on the bird for this flight?
 
Made it to 25 k today with whips only no extra battery. Going to try with stock remote tomorrow if the weather is good. 20180523_200801.jpg Screenshot_20180523-194127_Video Player.jpg
