Range test - DJI Mavic

Peut · Jan 23, 2017

Last weekend I decided to do a range test myself. How about the range of the remote controller? Gain some confidence in my aircraft and explore the possibilities and limitations of the Mavic. Does it really takes up to 4000m (CE approval, Europe)? What about the remaining battery life to return to home?

I watched a video where a guy named Tony Griffis went about 17200 feet, suppppper cool.

Nice weather. Balls of steel. Where is this in the Netherlands?

Impressive range considering CE mode.
What transmission settings did you use (resolution/ frequency/channel)?

It is near Den Bosch, in Brabant. Picked this place deliberately because of the road, and later on, the cycling path next to it.

All on auto, no extenders. You can consider just out of the box in regard to transmission settings.

With every course change and hesitation outbound I was thinking, "Gaa! You're burning battery power." That was a fun ride along. Enjoyed the WOTE soundtrack! Thanks for sharing.

Leuk filmpje hoor.
Good to have clear sight. Problem I have here.... too much bush and trees

Yep, exactly my thoughts! Couldn't help it, the controls were a bit laggy at the distance.

It is great indeed. The water is interesting in regard creating dronevideo's, it is a bit tricky also. At this moment I have enough confidence in flying the Mavic.
