Today I modded up the Mavic with a direct mod for external batteries. it took less than an hour. I took it for a test flight this evening with a battery that I built just for the Mavic. I turned around early, it was a direct crosswind so I didn't want to push it. It'll get me on the board, great first flight with the bat mod.

Yeah, very aerodynamic. I like it. I think he made this battery out of some old 4s packs he had. Nice!
Wow that's great flight!!! I've been kind of hesitant to go with a direct mod because I have the insurance on the mavic but look at that flight time you're getting. It looks like it's a better way to go. Even when I run the duel 4000 battery packs the battery algorithm never breaks 30 minutes. Great flight good luck on your ten mile attempt. Hopefully I will be able to keep up with you!!!Today I modded up the Mavic with a direct mod for external batteries. it took less than an hour.

What's up bro? I run full speed GPS mode on the way out into the wind and on the way back I use sport mode depending on how windy it is are run it between 60% and 80% throttle. I try to keep my drone as low as I can when flying into the wind the only reason I climb is to gain a stronger signal or climb over obstructions. Yes my controller is completely stock that means no Windsurfer either. Yeah I hit 27,000 ft. Before I started using sport mode on the return trip. I believe that's definitely a beatable record. On that flight I used full speed GPS on the way out and return to home mode full speed on the way back that gives you an extra one or two miles per hour over normal GPS mode. I believe full speed GPS mode is the way to go on pretty much every DJI drone when concerning long-distance flights. With the exception of the mavic in sport mode with a Tailwind. Full speed GPS mode is in my opinion the best balance between speed and battery life.
Look at the flight time he's getting!!! 31 minutes at 20% thats a 40-minute bird!!!
Hey bro are you getting your Healthy drones data up on the board without connecting your Go app to the internet? I'm a little concerned I don't want to have to update my Go app. Is there's a trick your using like manual loading the data to the server possibly? I know a few people yesterday that got hit with the force update. I'm trying to steer clear of it.
Still I think it's probably best to go with the direct mod. I mean the clips work great I just have to add a parallel cable to get both xt60 connectors off the batteries up to the clip. I'd imagine I'm adding a significant amount of resistance. Going with the direct mod I can shorten my leads a great deal save some weight too I'm sure.
Love the cruise control dude. That's pretty **** smart making the the knob vertical instead of horizontal.
