I truly enjoy watching your videos. Not only do you appear to be enjoying yourself, but you are entertaining. Great footage of the area, and your Cruise ship videos are spectacular. Thanks.
I didn't see if anyone has told you, but the automatic RTH is set by itself. The reason you almost ran outta battery was you didn't let itself bring it home you raced home with sport mode. And one more thing just to help you out, you need to take it up to almost the height of 400 ft that will give you much better range. I live in Chicago the interference is really bad and im having a lot of issues with signal and im not even that far away from it.
So nice to see you having fun with your kids. With an LtElite DBS Antenna (with no booster required), my P4 can fly well over 5.5 km, i.e. about 18,000 ft. Even a parabolic antenna would have extended it to at least 4 km in most cases.
When you’re at low battery on the Mavic, use return to home... It’ll make sure you make it back... Not smart to return manually, especially in sport mode.
This video was great, I wish my dad liked drones so I could fly a mavic or something. I own the P3 standard, that's all I can afford, because I'm 13. I really want the mavic or P4. Thanks for sharing!
Sell your p3 standard for $350 but a p3 pro for $500 and boom 5km range . Don't make mistake of getting phantom 3 4k thinking it has 5km range it's really 1.2km
You have to hold controller at the perfect angle, I've had my phantom 3 pro out well over 16,000 feet and still had full signal and video feed with no drop in bars, I've had my phantom 4 pro out over 5.25 miles from where I was at running a litchi waypoint mission and still had video video feed, 10.5 mile round trip. Both drones are stock btw
WOW! I can't believe the you were to fly the Mavic over 15000 feet with just the stock setup. I my location the furthest I am able to fly is between 6000 to 8000 feet. What height are you flying and is the terrain mostly flat with very little obstacles??
@copter Tube very nice video. una pregunta, why does the video gets distorted when out of range? I understand it would get distorted in the tablet but the camera should still record clean since that happens on the actual unit.
Carlos Rodriguez hello. Thanks for watching. At what part of the video did it get distorted? What minute? If you are talking about when I'm showing the iPad display then yeah that will get distorted since it's not the 4k video on the memory card. Remember I'm recording the iPad display 😁
@Copter Tube mavic flight at 2:38.. if you play that recording back on your computer from the SDcard I mean would it be distorted as well?. this happens to me as well with the mavic. so i was wondering if there anything that can be done
Carlos Rodriguez oh this is normal when you loose reception. But if i would've been recording then i clear video would of been recorded on the memory card if you know what I mean.
@copter tube One more question... so you flew out there in sports mode and you got that far.... then you wenrt back in sports mode as well and almost did not make it.. ( lol crazy) so my questions is: would it have been better if you returned in GPS mode? or worse since it would have take much longer but uses less power?
Carlos Rodriguez I just like sports mode since it flies faster. I know it consumed more power but it's just my preference. I can't take the suspense of flying slow wondering if I'm gonna make it or not 😁
can i ask you if you did not push the RTH on controller by your self would the mavic tells you to return home by it self safely? i mean is it relliable on doing so. if yes how should the rth settings be like there is crettical bat settings and low wich to set and what % thanks nice video
Don't know what's going on with your phantom 4 but my range beats my mavic everytime never had over 2 n half mile with mavic over sea but phantom always gives me 4 milesish
Mavic rules for distance for sure. I got my P3P out over 15,000 feet and still had signal but I used $10 parabolic range boosters. One thing I wondered is why the mavic battery was so low on return. I completed my distance flight of over 15,000 ft with my Phantom 3 and had over 20% remaining, after traveling nearly 31,000 ft total. I know the mavic has a better battery. Any idea what happened there? Maybe you did a lot of steering off course? Maybe you flew too slow sometimes? Maybe the wind switched during your flight, and you ended up flying against the wind both ways? Very fun video to watch, but I as afraid you were going to land in the water when your battery ran down!
That is insane! my Mavic maxed out at 3500 feet at 200 ft high! maybe I need to change settings? or maybe I have to much interference do to the environment? any ideas? Great Videos btw!
No U.S. You have me wondering now if it is a CE model though. I purchased it on Amazon through the Dji store and had problems with the entire purchase. That's a whole other story though. I noticed something in the settings about China mainland. Now I have someplace to start looking though. Thank you
3500 feet seems low for the mavic even in an urban environment. I would consider getting it checked out and calling DJI. By the way that China mainland thing is in everyone's app, I also have it
just look on the back of your controller or under the battery on the mavic. I should say fcc if your bought it for us.. China mainland should be turned off it is a setting in all mavics
es extraño que tu Phamtom 4 se quede sin señal ... en tan corto distancia. puede ser que tenga algún problema ... ya que e. cámara y rango y batería es superior al mavic. creo que tu Phamtom 4 tiene algún problema
hola. e tratado con otros Phantoms y el mavic es mejor porque tiene otra tecnología que utiliza. lo puedes ver esto en el site de Dji. Gracias por ver el vídeo.
You can view the specs on DJI website and see spark does not have half the range of Mavic, Spark is for soccer moms who want to be the "Jones" that every one else has to keep up with lol not a real drone they even said in the release that it was a NOVICE drone
Wonderful video...BUT...STOP SAYING O MY GOD!! Exo 20:7- "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. " I have a great appreciation of your Drone Vide skills! Dont dissapoint me with your OMG!
yep but the higher the greater the wind so u get less battery to go further if there were no wind at 400 ft, it would have achieved about 24 000 feet(7.2-7.4km)
I truly enjoy watching your videos. Not only do you appear to be enjoying yourself, but you are entertaining. Great footage of the area, and your Cruise ship videos are spectacular. Thanks.
revemt Thanks 👍🏻😁

wtfruthinking1986 where at in Chicago..i gotta a couple of questions about mine
Thanks for sharing. I think both quads would have gained some more distance if you had been at the 400 foot max height.
dheller777 the higher you are the better signal you get next test raise flight height
So nice to see you having fun with your kids. With an LtElite DBS Antenna (with no booster required), my P4 can fly well over 5.5 km, i.e. about 18,000 ft. Even a parabolic antenna would have extended it to at least 4 km in most cases.
good job, for me it's all about long range, and you do know the higher you go the further you can go out. great job.
love range test videos.. 👌
do you mind me asking, what do you do for a living??
i feel like if you hit a higher altitude you would get a better signal lol. dope video with coptertube jr lol
Chris A that's what I thought too!
Great videos keep up the good work! looks like you're in South Florida maybe one day we can collaborate!
That was a very close shave !
When you’re at low battery on the Mavic, use return to home... It’ll make sure you make it back... Not smart to return manually, especially in sport mode.
Awesome! Thanks for doing that with your drone. I'm def not brave enough to do it with mine
Great video! Many thanks! Keep on with your great work! Cheers from a fellow MAVIC Pro owner from Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA!
Hola. Gracias. Saludos.
De nada!!! Y muchas gracias por todo! Many, many thanks!!!!
Awesome video thank you for that. I also fly a Mavic Pro and love that I made that choice even more now
Great test, enjoyed that, keep the vids coming and the ship chases :)
Thanks.
Those are both amazing machines.
That was a great flight and video!!
Man that was a great video. Thanks. Keep making your great videos. Robert
This video was great, I wish my dad liked drones so I could fly a mavic or something. I own the P3 standard, that's all I can afford, because I'm 13. I really want the mavic or P4. Thanks for sharing!
Carson Moore .. same here, i have p3.. I'm about to purchase another 1.p4 or mavic. I like distance
Sell your p3 standard for $350 but a p3 pro for $500 and boom 5km range . Don't make mistake of getting phantom 3 4k thinking it has 5km range it's really 1.2km
Wow mavic is such a hero😮😮and i love watching ur videos make more like this please and thanks.
Just found your channel and I love watching your vids
Drones and Dirtbikes thanks. 😀
I like ur video, ur son is 👌😂
I love Ocu-Sync transmission ❤️🌎🌲🚁 !
Wow that flight makes me nervous watching. You must really trust your drones. I have a Mavic and haven't tried that yet. Nice Vid.
Scene Seekers yeah. Haha I have a mavic and the furthest I have flown it was 600 feet😂😂
Well do a vid, when you decide to fly long distance...Ill watch that too.
I like all your vids Jerry great job
Good job man. The kids were great 😎
Fun video to watch. I'm subscribed. Thx!
You have to hold controller at the perfect angle, I've had my phantom 3 pro out well over 16,000 feet and still had full signal and video feed with no drop in bars, I've had my phantom 4 pro out over 5.25 miles from where I was at running a litchi waypoint mission and still had video video feed, 10.5 mile round trip. Both drones are stock btw
the mavic would have gone quite a bit farther if you went up another 100 ft. You still had 3 bars of controller signal.
Thanks for doing this we all wanted to know
Luv the vids keep it up.
I hit 18,209 feet today with with my mavic and with 27% battery when I landed.
Dude. If you flew higher the Mavic pro can go over 5 miles as the crow flies!! I know saftey is key and it's better the way you done it. Nice vids!!
Hey I have a Mavic too, how do you get the power info in the bottom left orientation circle.
If you fly higher in altitude as you get further away you should be able to get even farther. It’s called glide path.
Cool video. Thanks for posting.
Nice I just got the mavic
WOW! I can't believe the you were to fly the Mavic over 15000 feet with just the stock setup. I my location the furthest I am able to fly is between 6000 to 8000 feet. What height are you flying and is the terrain mostly flat with very little obstacles??
Great afford
Nice video man, thanks
which mhz did you fly the mavic on? 2.8 or 5.6
That was awesome !!

Really good mate thanks
Great video, I thought the phantom 4 could go farther
Muy buen vídeo 👌🔥🔥🔥 #elrey
gracias.
Great video for the Mavic
Wilfred River Thanks for watching. 😁🚁👍🏻
Very nice video, friend - have a nice weekend 👍👍
Feri K. - Aerodron Thanks. You too.
I have the Mavic pro platinum so will 3 more minuets how far you can fly
Thanks for confirming that but what one do you prefer flying?
Subbed by the way
Love the Mavic.
can i ask you if you did not push the RTH on controller by your self would the mavic tells you to return home by it self safely? i mean is it relliable on doing so. if yes how should the rth settings be like there is crettical bat settings and low wich to set and what % thanks nice video
What the hell, this beep on the peginning destroyed my ears thanks pal
Don't know what's going on with your phantom 4 but my range beats my mavic everytime never had over 2 n half mile with mavic over sea but phantom always gives me 4 milesish
you will find if you try it out of sport mode you will go further, i went 17060 feet or 5.2km out and back and landed with 24% battery.
great video but the p4 distans isnt currect
i flew my p4 advanced 6 kilometers , and me too go to limit of the dron
Mavic rules for distance for sure. I got my P3P out over 15,000 feet and still had signal but I used $10 parabolic range boosters.

sport mode drains it.
That is insane! my Mavic maxed out at 3500 feet at 200 ft high! maybe I need to change settings? or maybe I have to much interference do to the environment? any ideas?
Great Videos btw!
Steve Reynolds do you live in Europe.. that could be the case, then you have ce model.
No U.S. You have me wondering now if it is a CE model though. I purchased it on Amazon through the Dji store and had problems with the entire purchase. That's a whole other story though. I noticed something in the settings about China mainland. Now I have someplace to start looking though.

find longer antennas with higher gain and you can go 50,000 feet like my neighbor did the other day with his mavic.
THE MIKEY MIKE CHANNEL 50,000 feet wtf are you serious?
Excelente
Thanks for sharing,
OMG the Mavic is the best
I bet if you buy those copper things for the Antenna on the remote it could go even farther
Do you have Phantom 4 pro?
how are you recording your ipad screen?
For the Mavic pro that is almost 3 miles
so on the mavic if it had got down to 10 percent battery and you were still over the water, you wouldve lost the drone right? wow close call lol
postshanna no mine was 10% over the water but i still keep the remote up until home with 1% lucky day for me
Yeah after 10% it will start descending but if you hold the throttle stick up you could fight it to stay up in the air. Thanks for watching.
my p4 must have a problem because i barely make 1000ft and it starts breaking up on the screen and unresponsive sometimes
do this for the spark vs mavic plz
You can view the specs on DJI website and see spark does not have half the range of Mavic, Spark is for soccer moms who want to be the "Jones" that every one else has to keep up with lol not a real drone they even said in the release that it was a NOVICE drone
Wow!
do phantom 4 pro and mavic
Plzzzzz help me my phantom 3 just goes 500 ft and after it looses signal
What country are you in? Here in the USA we have FCC. That means longer range. Thanks for watching.
i currently live in belgium right now.
mavic is king
don't understand.. the p4 landing with 50% battery. so how can you say that Mavic is better?
This is a range test. NOT a battery test. Please read the title. Thanks for watching.
I went 5000 meters or 16404ft with my stock p4.
I have managed 6.2km in my Mavic, but this was at 120m (400ft) in height, which will increase range
I thought the phantom would go farther because it can go faster
Are you planning on getting the DJI goggles?
Ahg I wish I had a drone but my family is so poor rn : ,(
Stop bullshiting about the phantom 4 put the antenna back on and trust me i fly my phantom 4
4 miles Without range extender
R.I.P headphone headphone users 2:13
I can only go max 1500 meters away (4900 ~ ft), then I lost the signal om my mavic pro.
Europe, Sweden.
My phantom 4 is boosted, I'll kill the Mavic in distance now.....But stock, Mavic is distance king....
MiamiJato what kind of boosters are you using ?
FPVLR, cause the P4 range is horrible, I mean HORRIBLE!!!!!!! 19,000FT AND I HAD TO TURN BACK CAUSE OF BATTERY.....
MiamiJato what spots to you fly in miami because looking for location to fly in !!
mostly swamps buy my house or small parks by me and fly long over nothing but grass and swamp and water or golf courses....
MiamiJato oh you must down south or weston.. right ??
Make high distance fly in sky.
is that the P4 Pro?
This is the P4. Thanks for watching.
Doesn't the phantom have 54% battery remains when it lands???? If it does, the phantom has longer range!!!! Please check!!!
andy ly battery range and video transmission range it's very different. Thanks for watching.
I see, thanks for the explanation
how much is it in meters ?
feet / 3.28 = meters
How much in meters
😎😱👍
but how much meters is 12k feet
3657 meter
11 hundred feet?....You meant to say 11 thousand feet ;P
oops sorry.
the kid at 00:32
Face reveal???
Wonderful video...BUT...STOP SAYING O MY GOD!! Exo 20:7- "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. " I have a great appreciation of your Drone Vide skills! Dont dissapoint me with your OMG!
Nobody cares.
Dries Pauley just no
STFU YOU RELIGOUS NUT
Dries Pauley god is not a name.lol its a title
phantom 4 is a good drone isint it
Phantom 4 can go more distance. The problem is u phantom.
I have managed 6.2km in my Mavic, but this was at 120m (400ft) in height, which will increase range
yep but the higher the greater the wind so u get less battery to go further if there were no wind at 400 ft, it would have achieved about 24 000 feet(7.2-7.4km)
