Decided to give the Mavic a real flight test. Flew over to my friends house, which is a little over a mile away. Sped it up for the video as I took my time flying over
Now this is the video I have been looking for somebody flying a drone at a great distance then dropping down interacting with people while at a great distance wow I always have seen people do the distance test at a high altitude then come back I never seen nobody actually go a great distance then send their Drome to actually interact with people from that great distance I am amazed
EXACTLY!!!! What HE said!!! (Or she? I'm guessing u are a "He"...just my guess!!) I love this video, too! I want to buy a drone so this was awesome to see how high up it goes, the clear video it takes, etc. What I want to know now is which drone this was and how much it costs? Also, can u talk with someone through it? Does it pick up sound and/or can u hear sound through the video it takes? Thanks for info!!
Mine disconnected after owning him for 3 days and instead of coming home to me, he flew into the wild to fend for himself 😔 To this day I still have hope that he will come back to me before he starves to death
I along with everyone else that has had there drone fly away from them hates DJI because they will refuse to refund your drone. Even if they can not come up with any excuses to be able to blame the accident on you. They will then make up one Such as “You we’re flying the drone in an improper flight environment” hmmm maybe they could tell me what an improper flight environment is in the instructions of what can void the warranty. They tried to tell me that it was my fault the drone disconnected in less that 700m away 🤷♀️ They then said the best they can do is give me 15% off a new one. Psh as if. If anyone wants to buy a battery, charger and controller off me, hmu please
Lost my phantom 4 in the ocean. I was flying it around a mile out over ocean when it lost contact with me. I thought it would come back but no luck. I threw $2500 in the sea.
Update: I went out for a walk the other day and found him after 7 months and he’s crippled, lost his eye sight and his hearts not pumping so I’m gonna get him a heart transplant from a mates Mavic but I don’t know if I should bother paying to put him under the blade to see if I can revive him or not 😔
I fly the Mavic too. But, this is why a lot of non-pilots automatically "hate" drones. They assume any drone is in the air spying on them (which is ignorance). I know he was your buddy - but the label of your video "Spying.." - just gives them more fodder for their paranoia. When my neighbors joke, "who are you spying on?" - I say - "Do you think anyone around here is worthy of spying on?" - and "Do you think it's spying when there's obviously a drone overhead?". If they only knew how wide angle the lens is - and how close you'd have to be to get any detail - they'd forget about it.
Totally Understand your point, and even took that into consideration when titling the video. Hence the shudder quotes around the word to immediately imply a non-literal or ironic use of the word and making sure it was known it was a friend as well. Both those were intentionally done to dissuade those types of people.
It's a tough call and very ironic when you think about it. You could have titled it, "Visiting My Friend" and people would be less reactionary but you'd get a lot less views. Title it "Spying", and oh boy lots of people insta-hate it and you get way more views.
Question, when you lost the signal at your buddies house, would the drone come back automatically and land where it was first launched? Just in case remote or phone took a dump. BTW that was just awesome.
haha that was pretty cool.. nice to see Mavic returns just fine even with an aircraft disconnect. I lost a Karma that way but i had also lost GPS right before losing aircraft signal.
Your lucky you missed the power lines in the RTH. It would have BBQd it. The drone can't see the power lines. Not going to flame you for breaking drone etiquette flying over the highway etc. I'm sure the drone police will be here soon enough. Just be weary of your surroundings if you send it beyond line of sight.
I don't think it would have necessarily barbecued it but it could have very easily snagged and hung itself from one of the wires. Also, it would have been the talk of the whole neighborhood, which our hobby definitely doesn't need. For perspective, I hit high tension lines once with my modded FPV EasyStar. It hit right at the motor mount level and broke the prop and tore the motor free of the body. No barbecuing took place, just impact damage, which honestly suprised me. Also, no, I wasn't trying to fly through the wires. I forgot that they were there and on that setup they were really hard to see until it was too late. I flew old school FPV for years when it was a relatively new thing, and you're right... wires are a true menace to FPV type flight and you REALLY have to watch for them, always be super aware of your surroundings.
It was unsafe, and also the thing that anti-drone people rant against, that it could have fallen into traffic, interfered with actual pilots that often fly along highways as a navigation aid and wouldn't be able to see the little drone and could mess up their windshield, and the privacy and noise pollution concerns of having a buzzing drone in a neighborhood setting. Its much better for the hobby to keep these in rural areas flying over unpopulated wilderness. That's something everyone can agree is safe and wholesome.
If you weren't aware, more and more people are shooting at drones, getting drone "zap" guns that interrupt signal and cause crashes, and are demanding anti drone legislation from their representatives. The haters aren't right, but in a democracy everyone's opinions matter, and a compromise is usually the best solution. That compromise generally means don't fly over busy streets, and especially highways, don't be where other aircraft are likely to be, and don't fly over neighborhoods and if you have to stay at high altitude. This violated all those common courtesies. 10 years from now when we have to register for a drone license at the DMV, with a massive lawbook to follow, we'll otherwise know who to thank.
The title should be "Over 1 mile accurate return to home after disconnect" Because that wast really the most interesting part for drone enthusiasts. :)
Renata Yea, It returns to launch location if it gets disconnected. Or as soons as the signal recovers you can opt to control it yourself again by cancelling the rth
They are meant to, but it happened to me after owning mine for 3 days and instead of coming home to me, he flew into the wild to fend for himself 😔 To this day I still have hope that he will come back to me
my friend works on different shift than mine so when i'm working he sometimes flies into my workplace with this drone lol. Very cool drone, I think I'm gonna buy it too
awesome video. Why do you think it disconnected? Out of range? I thought it had a three mile range or something.. and you said your friend was about a mile away? I would love to have one and I'm just curious...
I'd say a number of factors including range, objects in between RC and Drone. Not sure how power lines have an effect if any? He was lowering it further and further, increasing the number of objects blocking his view.
I hope you did a compass calibration before you took off. I didn't see that, but I am glad it came back ! I can't wait until the Mavic Platinum comes out in the fly-more package !
Ride 906 : Ignore all the naysayers commenting that you broke the law this way or that blah blah. Like a few others who have commented, pushing the limits is not only what drones are for, but life. And I personally had no idea drones could do what you just did. So I for one applaud you because you showed me that a limit I once thought existed for drones wasn't actually there. Now don't go breaking the law each and every time you take the thing out, but if you do not know the limit of the thing and you want to see what it can do at least once, keeping peoples safety and privacy in mind, then I say go for it!
nice job there i just did buy a mavic pro as well am going to try it out next week i have a phantom 4 and it is working great just hope the mavic is working as good
I just got my Mavic and I'm working up the courage to do longer flights. I'm in the Uk so not as much wide open space. I really liked the first bit of music in your video, any change of the name of the artist etc.. Thanks. :)
Holy shit that goes a hell of a lot further than tne dji fpv recieved mine yesterday and I dont go very far away all not impressed tbh ....what can we do to extend the range, like not far as in still in line of sight? 😢
Nice video, your buddy could be seen from the street so its not like you invaded privacy or anything. The mavic is awesome and low priced compared to drones I have built that don't even have half the range and flight time.
I got mine just under 4 miles from a full battery. just made it back in time before it was telling me I had to land I kept pausing and taking it over. My butt was squeeking that day.
hahah thats awesome i did the same thing and my friend caught me lol but thats a clean wrx and hes a legit car guy to pop his hood and show it awesome vid!! you got a sub from me just for that haha
Somebody could help me...There are some criminals that for some time I think they are using a drone in the attic where I live and in the crawlspace, in addition to tracking me they are poisoning me with different kinds of gases or poisons, the question is, is there any way to block them with the same technology that they use? I appreciate your help ... little I know about technology ...
Man you need to go buy some lotto tickets because you are one lucky dude! Losing signal between the power lines, service line, cars and not hitting any of them!!!
I love this video, too! I want to buy a drone so this was awesome to see how high up it goes, the clear video it takes, etc. What I want to know now is which drone this was and how much it costs? Also, can u talk with someone through it? Does it pick up sound and/or can u hear sound through the video it takes? Thanks for info!!
No you cannot talk to people through it the best drone for beginners at the moment would be the dji mavic mini the drones do not pickup sound but the are very cool
You need to check out some YT videos on how to adjust your gimbal expos, it's a bit fast an jerky when it comes out of the box. I've done a 1.5 miles away flight so far, no issues at all.
Green Silver Thanks for the tip! Ive been trying to watch a few mavic instructional videos, I actually have slowed the gimbal and exp settings quite a bit..but still need to more, the amount of customizable settings on this thing is insanely awesome. Also, if you talking about the first 1.5 minutes of the video, thats all at 400% speed, which definitely made it look crazy jerky. And yea, i was even really impressed with the mile range. My karma disconnected on the same flight pattern much much earlier (1700 ft before it lost signal).
Over a mile away, and you had video and control through all those trees and wifi routers when you were near the driveway? I don't know how you could have faked it with the video, it just seems so unreal! I've only gone about 1500 ft so far.
I notice that when I'm around a lot of wifi routers I get more interference with video. You must have had quite a few between you and your quad when it was over your friend's driveway.
I agree, I have never liked that word for rc aircraft and I only say it now because everyone knows "it means an rc aircraft". For me, the word "Drone" will always invoke images in my mind of a Predator bombing a city from high altitude.
Love the video! Provides a lot of information. You probably have seen some TH-camr pilots stating that they have received letters (or emails) from the FAA, warning them of any UAV Rules infractions they (the FAA) noticed while viewing their videos. I would be very interested if this happens to you and are willing to share it. Personally, I live just a few hundred feet inside an airport no-fly zone - such BS!
Thanks! And Yea I'll definitely share if I'm ever contacted as to hopefully stop someone from making a similar mistake. I always try to stay within the FAA regulations to the best of my knowledge :)
John, I'm also very aggravated for the same reasons. I live in a large community (about 4 miles square) with a big airport SIX miles away. The FAA designated the usual 5 mile no fly radius around the airport, and then added an additional one mile "restricted airspace" circle around that. The end result is that I am about 1/2 mile inside their no fly zone, and HALF of the community with hundreds and hundreds of residences is also inside it. Bad enough having to brave a paranoid public and work so hard to convince them that you're not a mad terrorist/peeper/thief/whaeverthefucktheyarescaredofthisweek, you've got corporations and gov't up your ass every step.

Well this video is fake bc they loose signal if u drop below trees....
@@w.e.s. It did lose the signal.

I feel your pain
My drone got stuck like 50 feet in the air and is still there to this day😢

Lost my phantom 4 in the ocean. I was flying it around a mile out over ocean when it lost contact with me. I thought it would come back but no luck. I threw $2500 in the sea.
Update: I went out for a walk the other day and found him after 7 months and he’s crippled, lost his eye sight and his hearts not pumping so I’m gonna get him a heart transplant from a mates Mavic but I don’t know if I should bother paying to put him under the blade to see if I can revive him or not 😔
That’s a sweet Subaru Sti lol.
Riel Creative LoL
Henry Hebrard had to mention it since I make car videos as well haha
2:54 middle finger, baseball hat, atv, pickup...

No way it’s not America
Not America. It’s ‘Merica.

Please change the title for all us drone users
you hit the nail on the head, they call the police every time i lift off
S Ya, I fly to and was screamed at by some random guy, that I was flying over (didn't stop my drone)
Yo that Subaru was mint
Can we appreciate how clean that sti is
Ahh, the celebratory double-middle finger greeting... the memories
This is the future. This is how we gonna send secret messages to our friends behind their parents backs 😂
🤣
Lol the mom flipped you off
Nit the Liar mum*
@Frank M. Powell timmy...put the gun down
TIMMY....THE GUN
Epic freak out at 4:03 LOL
Question, when you lost the signal at your buddies house, would the drone come back automatically and land where it was first launched? Just in case remote or phone took a dump.
BTW that was just awesome.
Yes it goes in rth mode
Sweet flight and ride!
yeah..stupid really....but..cool also 😂 pushing the limits..glad you did it so I don't have to lol

That was very cool dude!!!!! thanks for sharing that.
just got the mini 2 se last week and still getting used to it. its so fun. i only been up to 320 feet and like 600 feet away.
Does it come back home it if gets disconnected?
Renata Yea, It returns to launch location if it gets disconnected. Or as soons as the signal recovers you can opt to control it yourself again by cancelling the rth
Could you say where in the video you approx. got the signal back?
They are meant to, but it happened to me after owning mine for 3 days and instead of coming home to me, he flew into the wild to fend for himself 😔 To this day I still have hope that he will come back to me
Jake Fox I think yours has become free range by now :/
Renata hi
You have good videos😂😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
They are SO cute! Omg wholesome
Just bought my Mavic love it! This is what I want to get upto with it lol (aswell as some productive things) great vid :)
my friend works on different shift than mine so when i'm working he sometimes flies into my workplace with this drone lol. Very cool drone, I think I'm gonna buy it too
xXKAROLXx03 what type of place do work? Is it an open place?
😎 GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS 😎
3:40 good carma people..
Great job mate.. we need more vids like those on the net
Thanks for sharing
awesome video. Why do you think it disconnected? Out of range? I thought it had a three mile range or something.. and you said your friend was about a mile away? I would love to have one and I'm just curious...

What a time to be alive! Great vid/idea! :)
Enjoyed your flight. Thanks. Robert. Delray Beach Florida USA

Nice landing..
clean looking hawk eye
This will forever live in my head 😂
I hope you did a compass calibration before you took off. I didn't see that, but I am glad it came back !
I can't wait until the Mavic Platinum comes out in the fly-more package !
That moment of panic ...ahhhh ...ahhhhh..ahhhh! 😂
Awesome video man, you get a like from me :D
You should have titled it.... "Fly my drone from my mom's house, to my friends mom's house."
RTH works well, just as it should. My new Dji Spark too does it exery time when I go out of range. Amazing technology!

that was awesome
Also remember line of sight. Trees thing like that get in the way.
Was great flight, obviously your friend knows its you who owns that drone and I'm happy you didn't hit the power lines. Great job.
You made me want to buy this drone from you
Will the mini 3 Pro go THAT far? I ordered yesterday online and for the Fly More Plus pack. With a 128 GB sd card and Two year warranty with DJI
Nice job! I don't have the guts to send my Mavic out that far. But you are, "Mission Accomplished".
Very cool haha
Sick car
nice job there i just did buy a mavic pro as well am going to try it out next week i have a phantom 4 and it is working great just hope the mavic is working as good
Your front disconnected because of the power line near the house you're lucky it didn't drift before the return home feature kicked in
So freaking coool
I just got my Mavic and I'm working up the courage to do longer flights. I'm in the Uk so not as much wide open space. I really liked the first bit of music in your video, any change of the name of the artist etc.. Thanks. :)
Double middle fingers lol Love it!
nice flight🙌
Cool bro! Nice movie i'm thinking about buy mavic or phantom;)
Go to him and then let the drone yell "Want a sprite Cranberry?"
I was waiting for them when waiving down and pull out a baseball bat and hit the drone😂
dang that was a nice ass engine, and ride to boot. nice.
Nice flight. It took of from yours friend's house very close to the power lines. I don't think it realizes it.
Holy shit that goes a hell of a lot further than tne dji fpv recieved mine yesterday and I dont go very far away all not impressed tbh ....what can we do to extend the range, like not far as in still in line of sight? 😢
I've a little tello drone that weight 0.8 kg and goes with wifi signal but it seems to be strong even in the wind even if should be an indoor drone
Nice video, your buddy could be seen from the street so its not like you invaded privacy or anything. The mavic is awesome and low priced compared to drones I have built that don't even have half the range and flight time.
I got mine just under 4 miles from a full battery.
just made it back in time before it was telling me I had to land I kept pausing and taking it over.
My butt was squeeking that day.
If you look closely his friend was outside flying the drone by the car
Lifts up the hood hahaha
Wow nice!, well done! Good video. I have already liked this video,subscribed on to it at hit the bell. Nice video man, well done. :) 👍👍👍
Hey You know where I can find that tune at the end ? That's the I've been looking for. 👍
Cool😁
Nice video bro!
Ha! That was cool man!!
When he was walking over to lift up the hood I thought he was walking over to grab it
What state is this in?
My DJI mini 3 Pro arrives TOMORROW!!!
That's no spying that's an unwanted visitor.
I have a phantom 3 but I'm about to upgrade to a inspire 2
Wow buddy
That's better range than my drone in Ghost Recon Wildlands - bwahahahaha
hahah thats awesome i did the same thing and my friend caught me lol but thats a clean wrx and hes a legit car guy to pop his hood and show it awesome vid!! you got a sub from me just for that haha
Its an sti you idiot
Look at that he turned on the return home function...
i looked away for a sec and when i looked back at 4:44 i was like wtf haha!
Somebody could help me...There are some criminals that for some time I think they are using a drone in the attic where I live and in the crawlspace, in addition to tracking me they are poisoning me with different kinds of gases or poisons, the question is, is there any way to block them with the same technology that they use? I appreciate your help ... little I know about technology ...
Sweeet scooby ;)
The movement of the gimbal on your Mavic seems like it's jerking a little bit.
Man you need to go buy some lotto tickets because you are one lucky dude! Losing signal between the power lines, service line, cars and not hitting any of them!!!
HOW do you ADD music to drone videos???
I love this video, too! I want to buy a drone so this was awesome to see how high up it goes, the clear video it takes, etc. What I want to know now is which drone this was and how much it costs? Also, can u talk with someone through it? Does it pick up sound and/or can u hear sound through the video it takes? Thanks for info!!
No you cannot talk to people through it the best drone for beginners at the moment would be the dji mavic mini the drones do not pickup sound but the are very cool

You need to check out some YT videos on how to adjust your gimbal expos, it's a bit fast an jerky when it comes out of the box.
I've done a 1.5 miles away flight so far, no issues at all.

thats crazy! how far can it go like without losing signal or whatever!
dont you just love DJI return to home
I want one so bad. But supporting 4 kids I'll never own one.
so cool! loved it! lets do it againnnn!
Flyers like you are the reason there are so many laws. It only takes one fool to screw things for everyone else.
shut up*
Anyone know where u could get this drone
2:45 did she just flick him off
Yea
oohh over a busy motorway...
Over a mile away, and you had video and control through all those trees and wifi routers when you were near the driveway? I don't know how you could have faked it with the video, it just seems so unreal! I've only gone about 1500 ft so far.
I notice that when I'm around a lot of wifi routers I get more interference with video. You must have had quite a few between you and your quad when it was over your friend's driveway.
Nice STI
And this is way people hate our hobby. Still nice shots. Btw I have a dji Inspire 2 so I like quadcopters - drones sounds malicious
I agree, I have never liked that word for rc aircraft and I only say it now because everyone knows "it means an rc aircraft". For me, the word "Drone" will always invoke images in my mind of a Predator bombing a city from high altitude.
was it so loud or why did he noticed the done right away?

I'm not quite ready to go beyond 100 ft. What can go wrong? It's only a $1200 Drone.
Drone police 😂😂😂 Enjoy what you do man! Nevermind the "experts" here lmao!
