Signal range test on the Mavic 2 Pro

[Douglas24]

Hi there.

I haven’t ordered the Mavic 2 Pro, as I’m not yet convinced it should be a successor to my Mavic Air.
But I was hoping that some European users, could get back here to give a little review of the signal range on the 2 Pro?
A test in crowded areas, open areas and so on. Reportedly, European users get 5 km range and the signal would be more dependable than before. I would really appreciate if someone could give a little review of that in this threat, when someone gets it in their hands
Thnx in advance

The fact the the Air is Wi-Fi only and the M2P uses RF should be all the convincing required based on wave length propagation theory.

The is simply no way Wi-fi could compete.

Precisely. I wasn’t always very impressed with the WiFi on the Mavic Air even though a friend of mine hacked the Air to run on FCC. Radio frequencies are undoubtedly better, but just wanted to be sure it’s working as good as they say it will.

I haven't had a huge amount of issues with the Air...

...just as long as you recognize about 1600-1800' away in normal environments is about your max and about 1200' is your furthest most stable distance. again in busy areas.

Hello everyone. I'm quite new to the forum. I am in the UK i flew my new mavic 2 for the first time today. I flew 1850 meters and was down to 3 signal bars on the remote controller and also the hd. Does this sound good. just that i have flown that same route and distance with my mavic 1 and had at least the Same amount of signal left. I Will say though the mavic 1 i have model the antennas but all the hype goes on about the ocusynk 2.0 being something really special. Thanks.

Ps. I was 400ft high also

Is it possible to some way use better antannes for long range signaling.

I've seen some antenna boosters - kind of a gold foil if I recall. Although, I guess you are still suppose to be in visual contact???

Well I do have 20x50 binoculars .

I’m in rural Mozambique. I flew my Mavic 2 Pro today while wearing Goggles RE and went as far as 4200 meters. The range problem with the RE goggles is SOLVED!!!

Did an update of the firmware today before flying.
