I went through 20 of Dustin Dunnill’s “Drone Range Tests” and collated these interesting figures from over the years: 1. DJI Mavic 3 - 8.956 miles / 14.413 km 2. DJI Mavic 2 Pro - 6.091 miles / 9.803 km 3. Autel EVO 2 - 5.433 miles / 8.744 km 4. FIMI X8SE 2020 Edition - 5.312 miles / 8.549 km 5. DJI Mavic Air 2 - 4.948 miles / 7.964 km 6. DJI FPV Drone - 4.356 miles / 7.010 km 7. DJI Air 2S - 4.199 miles / 6.758 km 8. DJI Mavic 2 Pro (Light Urban) - 3.618 miles / 5.822 km 9. Autel EVO - 3.498 miles / 5.629 km 10. DJI Mini - 3.426 miles / 5.514 km 11. DJI Mavic Pro + Parabolic - 3.173 miles / 5.107 km 12. DJI Mavic Pro - 2.938 miles / 4.729 km 13. DJI Mavic Air - 2.863 miles / 4.608 km 14. DJI Mini 2 - 2.850 miles / 4.587 km 15. Parrot ANAFI - 2.200 miles / 3.541 km 16. DJI Phantom 4 Pro - 2.105 miles / 3.388 km 17. DJI Spark + Parabolic - 2.076 miles / 3.341 km 18. DJI Mavic Air (Urban Range) - 1.944 miles / 3.128 km 19. DJI Spark + OTG Cable - 1.884 miles / 3.031 km 20. Skydio 2 - 1.039 miles / 1.673 km
Would love to see a repeat test on a calm day for the Air 2s down to near 0% when return. I know some tests Dustin will play around with settings and talk while drone is on but still on the ground. I Like to see when he takes off and immediately goes forward with 99-98% battery. Sometimes it is down to 92-95%, which obviously will make a difference in range.
I doubt there will be a more impressive range test for the Mavic 3 than this. Brave of you Dustin to take real risks with a drone of this price especially when you paid for it with your own money. It's a shame you didn't start the test an hour earlier as the views would have been epic. Well done.
@@zabiarayyan7056 usually companies send their products to reviewers for free. This guy didn’t make it into DJI’s program for that for whatever reason even though he has more than enough of a following.
Insane anxiety testing on this one! When you hit the shoreline and kept fiddling with the map.. I was like " turn around, man!" A champion of a drone there for sure.
I love the back and forth you do with these: "will we make it?" "another fricken nailbiter" "but we still got x percent though so" "jeez Louise I don't know man". I can absolutely relate though - and the remote can be made quieter if you open it up and put something over the little speaker in there. These remotes are harder to open than the original Mavic and Mavic 2 ones, but still not complicated and actually easier to access that speaker once open.
@@DaveFPV Exactly. Blu-tac, and in my case the Titan Switch V2. Though I'm not sure if I'll be able to get the new style remote modded for the Titan unfortunately.
Wow!! That was incredible! No one beats Dustin Dunnill’s range tests! Real nail biter! Awesome how you give the live narration and don’t speed up or cut out any of the footage. That’s how you do it! 👏 👏
Great demonstration! Had me afraid for you there for a little bit, but the Mavic 3 made it! This is an awesome drone and I really love mine. You've made me feel more confident with how far my drone is capable of flying. Thank you!
It's great to see the signal strength with the standard controller, for those of us who can't be shelling out $1,250 for the Pro controller. In Las Vegas, we're heavily restricted as to where we can fly. No flying at all in City parks, and only allowed in 8 County parks. Most of those 8 have heavy interference. A super strong signal like this is going to be great.
@@rfgameserver6129 Desert Breeze Park, Mountain's Edge Regional Park, Lone Mountain Park, Bennett Airfield, Silverbowl Park, Horseman's Park, Clark County Shooting Complex, and James Regional Park. You must have an AMA membership to fly at Bennett Airfield. You need a special permit from the County to fly an FPV drone or a racing drone at any of these parks. I've never flown at the Shooting Complex, because who knows when a skeet shooter will get overzealous. (j/k).
@@geezerpleasers_OG Thanks for the great information, really appreciate it!! Yeah I know those skeet shooters might say I thought it was a runaway clay..hehehe
That was an epic flight, right on the border line of 9 miles!, can't wait to return home to open my M3 and give it a shake down, it won't be anywhere near 9 miles, but will definitely try up to 6 miles out over the Bay, thanks for the video, I'm sure there were many of you subscribers (and non-subscribers as well) that were waiting for this video 😀
Outstanding video, Dustin!! With zero seconds left on the battery, when I saw the lights of your Mavic 3 returning and finally meet your hand, I wanted to give it a big fat kiss!!
I actually shed tears of joy when the mavic 3 got back just in the nick of time. This was a truly interesting video, thank you for this. Was a huge risk
Man when you moved the gimbal down at the shore the colors were so bright you could see the green so vibrant and the sand looked wonderful in the mavic 3!! Can't wait to get it!!
Best Range Test so far, as we all knew it would be, no-one comes close to pushing their drones to distance limits as you do Dustin, I was half expecting you to keep going across to the Island, thanks for showing us that this drone can keep going even at 0 percent and still lets you push the sticks up, good to know.
Dustin - I just got a DJI Mini 2 - having never used a drone before and not knowing anything about flying. I watched a bunch of your videos and learned a ton! I am really enjoying it and really appreciate all the instruction. Keep up the good work brother.
Was not as nervous but I remembered my first range test with Mini 2, did 6.5 kilometers on regular battery but made it back at 0%, was not able to record my voice but when you were coming back, same expressions, breathing, all of it came back, I was saying the same things as the beeping started, was like "come on, come on! oh man!" damn! 14.4 kilometers! You are a sage!
Man that was such an impressive range test! 👏. I just received my Mavic 3 today and it's really good to see what it's really capable of doing. Well done
The return home indicator whilst you were at the sea that was DJI making sure you'd get back to base safely.. @ 33:15 I was willing you to land at that white shaped landmark!! the anxiousness building up in me more than in some epic movies I've watched. I was so relieved you got it back.
It's just absolutely insane to think we can do this.... it's taken for granted and not really fully comprehended what unbelievable freedom we have, sending up a drone, flying for miles, capturing 4k footage. It's CRAZY.
Zoom below 4x uses the Hasselblad, zoom above 4x uses the other camera. You keep getting the sensors warning because the Visual Positioning System(VPS) is still active. More than one system uses input from the sensors, so I don’t know whether you’re saving any power by turning them off. I still got 29 minutes out of it with 20% battery remaining and APAS on.
Awesomely phenomenal range testing, Dustin. Huge congrats. I'm mostly flying the Air 2S over the river and had some similar critical low battery events. As long as flying in the return direction always pointing towards the Home Point and when there are no obstacles, somehow the DJI aircraft tries to help the pilot make it to the home point with its built-in AI using GPS, even when the battery gest below 5%. Your flight was so much amazing. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Montreal, Canada.
Another Awesome job Dustin! When I saw the "below 0%" in the title I knew it was going to be another nailbiter and there was no way i was going to miss this one! Great job and another great job for DJI Drones also! Keep em coming! Merry Christmas!
If someone would have asked me 3 days ago if I would sit and watch a TH-cam guy fly a drone into oblivion for an hour, while praying the drone has enough battery life to makes it back - I would have laughed. I get mezmorized watching these, the scenery is great, and I'm loving the thrill of pushing the limits. Keep up the great videos.
I think I actually like the other spot better… that way we have a reference point, but gotta say, that’s impressive for a Drone. So it seems that it’s really the batteries that stop the range test. I do think this one could have gone another two+ miles! Is there anyone out there range testing in areas where there is interference?
i live in an area thats pretty bad with interderence and with the air 2s i get about 2.5km range, im getting this soon and will be interested to see what it does in the same area! will let you know
@@V8ToYyThat's pretty poor. I also have an Air 2S, and I don't remember ever loosing connection whatsoever, not even a little. But, I'm not brave enough to try and fly five or six miles out either. I do live in an area where I probably could though. I've easily gotten it out a couple miles. My old Mavic Mini would crap out about a half mile.
WOW ooh WOW....been specifically waiting for your range test and man the M3 didn't disappoint....it is the real deal as far as range....and what a beautiful area you chose...a different twist than the normal flights....I was nervous it wouldn't make it back in the end but it did....DJI is definitely top level
Honestly, I laughed out loud saying "Holy S*it" when I saw the Mavic lights right in front of you on the return. 😂The whole time I'm thinking, "What's he doing!!? He's gonna lose that thing!!" Happy to know I was wrong. Great flight brother! 👍💯
@@WW5RM I see it on your screen on the left hand side. FORCED LANDING IN PROGRESS with an X next to it. Maybe it is grayed out and inactive. I think that X should be RED when it is active.
Yes until a certain point it won't maintain altitude when it gets real real low. Plus you shouldn't fly below 15-20% battery it decreases your battery's lifetime.
this guy is officially insane... I mean to take it to near the 50% power point before turn back, AND continue to use camera zoom/gimble features and draw power... balls are beyond mine for sure!
That made me want to seriously consider this being my next drone!! Great video and you took a gamble doing this but the range is great and you proved that!!!
This new Mavic 3 is very impressive, especially as far as signal and battery life. Another awesome range test, your the master at these things. I was on the edge of my seat hoping it would make it back.
I was with you all the way on that one. I couldn't hold my breath any longer! The zoom - 1 to 4x uses the main lens, which allows better light in. 7-28x is on the smaller telephoto lens, hence it going dark, as the smaller sensor isn't as sensitive. That also why you get the jump when zooming between 4x and 7x. The iPad GPS - Wifi Only iPads do not have a GPS chip, and approximate positions via other means (nearby Wifi etc), hence will be some way off in more rural areas. Love the vids, keep them coming!
That's some crazy impressive range and battery life! I hope they're able to bring some of these improvements over to the next Mini. I'd love a Mini that lasts 40+ minutes!
I just recently bought this drone with the Fly more package like you did and love it! But I would never fly it that far away. I'm kind of new to flying drones and flew my Mini 2 less than a quarter mile away and was already getting panicky about doing that. Thanks for sharing this.
Awesome video, man. Incredible range and that return was basically down to the wire. Going to order one of these. Thanks for doing these kind of test flights!
I’ve been binge watching stupid ass drone videos for 2 days now, trying to decide which of the 273843636388362)3837 different drones I should get. I saw this video and I ordered one of these before I even finished the video! This thing is a bad ass!! Thank you for your review and for going as close to the edge as possible. Also. I am a new sub.
You do make the best and the most suspenseful range test just like DC Rainmaker does the best wind test. You guys have the right environment to do your respective tests. I can't believe you went out that far but holy shit you made it come back to your hands even when fuel was fumes. LOL Awesome test.
Amazing range test - just wondered what the ambient temperature was there on Maui as cooler temps can affect battery life too. I know it's generally warmer there than where I fly in the UK but still a late evening flight like yours after sunset could be cooler than a mid day sunny flight. Thank you sir!
Wow this gave me anxiety towards the end amazing and risky video. You were on 10% and still had very long to go and suprised it kept going on 0%. My theory is they actually have another 5% plus of battery after it reaches 0 for emergencies. You earned a sub from a noob SE owner! I'm scared to go 2km.
Had no interest in drones until I received a Mini 3 as a Father’s Day gift . Now I can’t get enough of your highly entertaining videos. Is it too early in my drone experience to buy a Mavic 3?

I am so pleased that u get it back.

Just about 9 miles .... and an absolute crazy return flight ... Awesome man .. Awesome. You got lucky again !!!!
What a flight. I'm impressed. You managed it well.
After watching this video made wanna subscribe. I have not seen anyone be ballsy enough to fly their drone to 0%. Good work hope to see more.
yup, as soon as i see 65% from 1000ft away , i bring it back
OK that was nerve wracking, but impressive. This drone is a beast!
Outstanding video, Dustin!! With zero seconds left on the battery, when I saw the lights of your Mavic 3 returning and finally meet your hand, I wanted to give it a big fat kiss!!

I actually shed tears of joy when the mavic 3 got back just in the nick of time. This was a truly interesting video, thank you for this. Was a huge risk
Beast of a drone , In my option you have the most informative drone videos on youtube for real life situations . Thanks for the content.

I am blown away that you were able to keep a visual line of sight at 9 miles!!! :)
Me too! I need glasses renewed. No way I can see my drone 9 miles away........
This is the comment I came here for. 😂
A definitive range test that can only be beat by someone loosing their drone! Brave man! Thanks.
Really thought this was going to be a recovery mission, glad the Mavic came through in the end.
Impressive, that zoom just gives it that bit extra.
Dustin from way back you have always put me on the edge of my seat but this time was just out of sight. Thank you for the review.
Ah yes! I was wondering how this would do on a range test. I gotta say I am not surprised it went 8 miles! Great video!
It's just absolutely insane to think we can do this.... it's taken for granted and not really fully comprehended what unbelievable freedom we have, sending up a drone, flying for miles, capturing 4k footage. It's CRAZY.

Great test. I'm sure Mavic has it where it gives you lower numbers for the battery life so you don't run into a situation where it won't make it back.
That was epic! It’s no exaggeration to say that before I buy certain things I check to see if you’ve posted anything relevant to what I want.
Great job! Thumb up!!! Epic range test as always!

That's some crazy impressive range and battery life! I hope they're able to bring some of these improvements over to the next Mini. I'd love a Mini that lasts 40+ minutes!
I just recently bought this drone with the Fly more package like you did and love it! But I would never fly it that far away. I'm kind of new to flying drones and flew my Mini 2 less than a quarter mile away and was already getting panicky about doing that. Thanks for sharing this.
Awesome video, man. Incredible range and that return was basically down to the wire. Going to order one of these. Thanks for doing these kind of test flights!
Bar none,you are the best product reviewer.your range tests are famous,not infamous🤗😁😜
This is absolutely amazing
Great range test as usual
Im starting to want that drone now 🤪
Thanks
I’ve been binge watching stupid ass drone videos for 2 days now, trying to decide which of the 273843636388362)3837 different drones I should get. I saw this video and I ordered one of these before I even finished the video! This thing is a bad ass!! Thank you for your review and for going as close to the edge as possible. Also. I am a new sub.
You do make the best and the most suspenseful range test just like DC Rainmaker does the best wind test. You guys have the right environment to do your respective tests. I can't believe you went out that far but holy shit you made it come back to your hands even when fuel was fumes. LOL Awesome test.
Ordering one of these tomorrow I can’t wait dude absolutely crazy technology they’ve got in these DJI drones these days i am SO EXCITEDDDD
Your range test videos are going to be the death of me. LOL Fantastic video Dustin. You never disappoint.
Dang that’s insane, farthest I’ve ever flown is 9100m and stopped at 60% to account for any wind, drone somehow returned with 20%, I am impressed
Insane range. Nice job 👏
OMG u had my anxiety going crazy !! I still use the DJI Phantom and I tell u your video has made me think about going and get the Mavic 3 !!!
Amazing range test - just wondered what the ambient temperature was there on Maui as cooler temps can affect battery life too. I know it's generally warmer there than where I fly in the UK but still a late evening flight like yours after sunset could be cooler than a mid day sunny flight. Thank you sir!
Around 70°F 🍻
BRO i havent had so much anxiety from a youtube video in so long man. when you switched to your head cam i got so happy lol.
If only I could watch your range tests in IMAX! Total nail-biting experience! Great job with this range test. As usual, love the Maui sunset. 🤙🏾
Addicted to the thrill of your range tests, nice one again!
When I fly in the city of Los Angeles I get about a half-mile of range before bars start to drop. Nice to see what the M3 can do in the open
fly at greater altitude. You will not get the same range because of city interference but you shouldn't have bars dropping at a mere half a mile
@@IRequireMedication that makes sense. I tend to fly low. Will fly higher and take advantage of the zoom capabilities.
The definition of ambivalence: so happy it made it back... but I also really wanted to see a demo of the find my drone feature.
Wow this gave me anxiety towards the end amazing and risky video. You were on 10% and still had very long to go and suprised it kept going on 0%. My theory is they actually have another 5% plus of battery after it reaches 0 for emergencies. You earned a sub from a noob SE owner! I'm scared to go 2km.
A super exciting video. Especially the last few seconds when the Mavic pierces the darkness with its light!! Class !! Warm greetings from Germany
I’m impressed enough with my mini 2’s camera ability. But now that I see the distance and time on this one, I’m jealous
HAHAHAHAH EXACTLY THE SAME HERE
Im to poor to afford the mini 2 right now because my rent has been high lately but im jealous of you having it lmao i cant imagine the mavic 3
Had no interest in drones until I received a Mini 3 as a Father’s Day gift . Now I can’t get enough of your highly entertaining videos. Is it too early in my drone experience to buy a Mavic 3?
If you can fly the Mini.. you can fly the Mavic 🙂🍻
