Official Mavic Pro Range Leaderboard!

[Japtastic]

Pure laziness on my part to not build my own in first place.

Nice flight **mick**! That really good distance considering the difficulties you had taking off and the fact that you went over 900ft up. You should look into getting some boosters for that cyclone antenna to avoid having to go so high. Another option, if you can find a spot where you're slight elevated as compared to the terrain you're flying over, you'll be able to keep altitude down to around 200ft. Hauling those huge dual 4000s up to 917ft takes a lot of juice!

Edit: Perhaps that Cyclone antenna already has boosters. In that case it's a matter of finding a good spot to fly with minimal foliage in the way. That antenna should be plenty good to get you out over 60,000ft.

Thanks Nate, your distance is incredible, the cyclone is 3w boosted, just a shame I'm getting HD signals loss. Living in London UK there isnt anywhere elevated close to me for a decent run (not that I know of) I might have to take a trip to Wales, plenty of nice hills looking down for miles there.

@TheLightSpeed! Just done mine. A fair amount of glue. Now just have to insulate and make it look good again.

You can't beat a bit of reverse engineering lol

My Leaderboard is 38,057 ft, Stock RC and battery mod for my 4000mah lihv.
Weather Height Wind 100m-156m is 6mph.
Flight Air Time 26m 24s / Takeoff Battery 99% / Landing Battery 1%
My mavic stock RC is signal weak HD feed at 6,500m to 11,600m. from with blind hill.. i am not sure.

Great flight, I had the same setup for 33,763ft and it looked like the limit for that setup. I flew in normal mode rather than sport though. Maybe flying faster is better?

 

[CyberNate]

For those of you that want maximum distance, the hard to get 4000mah LiHV batteries are back in stock:

Multistar LiHV High Capacity 4000mAh 3S 10C Multi-Rotor Lipo Pack

I highly recommend you buy a pair of these while you can. Pair these with a new Mavic battery and you can get up to 43 minutes flight time at distance run speeds.

@CyberNate May have missed it but do you have the Airdata from your record run? What speed/mode were you running?

32mph out. 33.6mph back in RTH mode with full right stick. I don't always fly this way, but it was ideal for the conditions that day. Just the slightest head wind.

By the way, I no longer have the record. It was smashed twice by the same guy.

that's nice of you to be humble cyber, but it ain't been posted here yet, so you still the boss!
that's the way it's been from P2 days on up!

great flight man! thats a heck of a run back down to 1%, keep it up!

I am learning normal/sport mode about how with wind and speed, without RTH. Okay i will back on botton RTH.

great flight man! thats a heck of a run back down to 1%, keep it up!

Hard my eyes on my mobile screen frozen and laggy come landed 1%, distance at 24m from my stand luck!

Pair these with a new Mavic battery and you can get up to 43 minutes flight time at distance run speeds.

My 2 x 4000mah I was tested hover and few slowly move flight is 36mins? when i get up to 43mins flight time on full throttle?

Correct flight times?
2 x 4000mah = max 43mins
1 x 5200 mah = max 32mins

Who said anything about full throttle? Flying at a constant speed of around 32 can be more efficient than hovering in the right conditions. There is less lift and more instability with hovering as compared to forward motion.

 

[Gh0stxSinghx]

Myself just think use full throttle at full speed the flying.

Can you confirm me the flight time? When i am ready for both batterys mod.
2 x 4000mah = max 43mins?
1 x 5200 mah = max 32mins?

The variable is going to be the Mavic battery you have in use at the time. A new one is probably close to those numbers.

Hey CyberNate excellent flight! Its kind of hard to believe someone could actually top that with exactly the same setup...Do you happen to have the Airdata Analysis from the one who "smashed" the record or a link to where i can check it out please?

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.

@JakeMaxxUAV 45,884ft

Just completed my first dual 3000mah lihv setup. Roughly 35min flight time. 4.5mph average wind with a few 12mph gusts. The Mavic performed without a hitch. GO crashed as did my AZ screen recording software and I did get to 46,587ft but Airdata only recorded 45,884ft so that will have to do! Gutted, I wanted 3rd place! Any one know any decent .mp4 recovery software / a way to extract max distance from .dat?

Those are the batteries I have too, also a clip. I need to do the mod to the clip like you did.

What controller mods?

I've only tried with one battery so far. Do you ever have any issues with the externals charging the battery?

On mine I keep having to wait to see if it charges and shuts off. If it does I turn it back on.

Just wondering
