About 8-9 days ago took off from a hill side maybe 30-50 feet in elevation with Mavic 2 Pro. Using stock antennas, stock battery went for it. Guess this would be considered a sucide flight, flew out as crow flies with my weakest battery with the intention of landing at the end of the flight. It was perfect, as M2P lost connection at the 8.53 miles, it started to RTH and when it reconnected I took over and landed M2P just a few hundred feet from were RTH kicked in. By then, battery was near 10% so I let her down on the corner of an open field about 50’ feet from a county road. Landed on a soft pillow of weeds, flight couldn’t have been any better everything was perfect right down to the landing.
Drove to the location and there she was safe and sound, someday in the future will make this same flight run only on this run use amplifiers see if I can squeeze out another mile or two. Since this flight, I’ve installed a Titan Cyclone in which I’ve modified to use other antennas.
Was very impressed, stock antennas no amplifiers. Simply amazing, the distance M2 Pro will go with no mods.
Thanks for looking,
