I’m a newbie to “droning”. I’ve only flew mine where I could see it, probably no more than 30 meters away and only as high as 40 meters. My drone will fly 5km. I’ve not flown at all this week due to our lovely weather here 🇬🇧 🌧️ 💨
Dude, you're setting the bar high and redefining what long-range flights are all about. My 5 km runs look like a joke now. I'm not jealous at all; actually, I'm stoked to see what our gear can really do. Mad props, man, that was a flight to remember. Quick question though: when you hit the farthest point, did GPS Rescue kick in? If so, how long did it take before you got control back?
Hey Buddy ! 5 km is pretty far and is 100% longrange also, this is more extreme-range for a fpv quad. when you hit the 23.4 mark the dji 03 unit just cuts signal, i had to manually press RTH , and it did fly 10-11 km without any signal to the goggles, this is fine as long as you KNOW your failsafe settings is 100% , and you have the correct cruising speed (too slow and too fast RTH speed will make you loose your drone at this range)
When the o3 unit appeared, people immediately flew to 23 km. The usual thing. Well, yes, if you take the quad, this is probably an achievement for it. On Walksnail, some fly 55 km one way, the total mileage is more than 100 km
@@christianmong-hansen1835 Losing video and waiting several minutes for it to return is just funny. (Must have been like 5mins?) One thing maybe you can test, (I’ve done some initial testing and it seems to help) is to turn off “Low Power” mode. Theory: When DJI O3 loses signal it disconnects and goes into “low power standby mode”. Since it’s low power it takes a long time to reconnect especially in a long range situation. With this turned off I’d expect the connection/image to return much quicker! What do you think?
@@GiantAntCowboyI have discussed this in one of the deep dive videos. It’s not low power mode, it far more complex than that. DJI O3 is fully dynamic so it’s constantly channel hopping and adapting its RF output in Auto. When the link drops the system enters a failsafe polling mode where it changes the carrier to 10Mhz and then is polling on a number of frequency’s for the goggles. Once the system re establishes the link it then jumps back into normal operating mode. The behaviour here is all dictated by what DJI have set the link establishment threshold at. DJI O3 is far happier to hang on to the link at 1mbps compared to the V1 system however what it won’t then do is reconnect back at that bitrate again, it waits till it’s reached some unknown level before it then kicks back in. The original DJI FPV system did behave somewhat similar to this but it would reconnect far quicker. DJI definitely made some changes in O3 that means you will find your self most of the way back before it kicks back in. We know DJI is able to accurately even measure the range based on the packet timing so it may even be an arbitrary distance factor however it’s most likely some packet timing requirement along side a long quality metric. Avatar HD on the other hand does not behave like this and I actually got CaddX to change its behaviour in the early days to keep the Goggles transmitting on full rf power once armed even in link drop. A last note it it’s DJI and Avatar have different setups for the master device. On DJI VTX is always transmitting and polling in signal loss. On Avatar it’s the goggles and the VTX actually goes dark on signal loss till the goggles are picked up again. Mad.
@@MadRC thanks for the info, I obviously should have just asked you first… As you know I’ve historically only used Analog/HDZero for mountain surfing flights and that’s because they give real-time (basically) honest feedback. If/When the image cuts out it immediately comes back when LOS is restored. DJI & WS on the other hand “hide the truth” a bit with delays which can be disastrous in the mountains. At 80kph the quad is traveling about 22m/s so even a 200ms delay equals 4.5m of travel! When flying along a ridge-line this can easily be a crashed quad before you even know there’s a delay. Then of course there’s frozen screens & lost connections… However with all that said I recently started flying DJI O3 and love it.

Well optimized gps rescue is a must when flying long range. Even if it's only 2-3km far away. You never know what happen. There's no excuse with betaflight 4.5 and gps moduls for less than 20 €/$ also gps rescue gives you way more confidence at the edge of losing your signal. Just hit the gps rescue button and wait for video signal returns 😊

@@christianmong-hansen1835 well i didn’t know if that was your car or just a random parking lot but nice you got the drone back

Hey it would great to see your quad!
Hey ! yes sorry, was too quik making the vide... next time we are going to test a 22ah battery out, then i can post more stuff of the drone also.
This is sick awesome! How you think why it took so long to get signal back???
well , probably because its really far away ! lol..
Did you kill the battey really low voltage
nah, stil works fine ! the whole point was to max out the range , can just buy a new battery u know
amazing! which motors?
thanks ! Stock Helion 10 -3110 900KV motors

@@Simon-PierreR32GTR5.8ghz is 5.8ghz you can plug together whatever you want when polarisation is correct (lhcp/rhcp) Just check what the helion stock antennas are. It's possible to use a ufl to sma adapter. It's a common thing. But needs some space and a proper 3d printed mount of course
Hey, sorry to bother you with another stupid question, what's the secret to doing long range with the DJI O3? I'm having trouble even getting past 5 km, I'm using Iflight Krystal antenna, v2 goggles also have the “ham_cfg_support” file for FCC mode. And I'm using the standard 03 air unit antenna. Do the trure rc patch antennas make that much of a difference over something like the Iflight Krystal? Also, would having a 5.8 GHz antenna on the 03 be better than the original which is dual band?
Amazing flight 🫶
thank you !! 🫶
Nice ! Any advise to get that range ?
My full specs is in the description below the video, the most important thing is a 100% good GPS rescue and a Big and lightweight Li-Ion battery.

Nice one.
Your AMP draw is so low while cruising. With my 7 inch i cruise at 30amp maybe :s
What kind of settings did you put on your esc ?
@@matthieukhubbens2489 Stock Esc settings and esc that came with the helion! Thats because i have a 10 inch , and can handle more payload than a 7 inch… also , this battery pack is only 1.2 kg ! Crazy light and mutch energy.

Does the on-board DVR keep recording when the goggle link drops out?
thanks ! no, it stops recording , so i had to manually start the recording again..
@@christianmong-hansen1835 But the O3 automatically got back to full power, right? Or did you have rearm or something else? Mine stays at a very low bitrate after failsafe ...
@@philipesser1813 yes it should go in full power , i think this is a bug or something! Happend to my friends 03 ! Have you updated all your firmwares?
I dont understand how this is possible. DJI says the O3 air unit has a 10km range. That's what it is advertised as. So how do you make it go that far out beyond its specified range?
Actually it's 13km, I'd like to know as well !

Im super happy with Crossfire, Thats What i did use here.
Crazy to see that it will carry a 16000 mah battery. 4s or 6s?
Great flight. Definitely set the bar high for us.
This is a 6s pack.
It can for sure carry a 16AH , this one i got from upgrade energy is only 1.2 kg ! Super happy with this pack.
@christianmong-hansen1835 Thanks. I'll start with a small pack then move my way up over time.
Mind blowing 🚀🔥
How is it possible that it's still up with 1.8v remaining ? The amps were going crazy !! :o
@@loic2665 because it does have some battery sag, battery still works fine and have no damage.

Hi ! No Thats wrong , in fcc mode The range is 23.4 km.
1.80v per cell! 😲😲
@@Nastee_FPV have some battery sag , on The charger it did say 2.55 volts left, A drone would not fly at 1.88 volts at 2.8 kg.
Wow! Knowing that you would lose video for a long time, did you monitor altitude, bearing, velocity, distance to home etc using a lua script?
@@earthsgrip no just by have The right return to Home speed (55 km/H)
And low winds.
@@christianmong-hansen1835 Thanks. For this situation I quite like the Lua included with the GitHub repo called "OpenTX_GPS_Telemetry". In theory you could almost fly blind with it without relying on GPS Rescue, possibly necessary in high winds etc. But in 4.5 Rescue is FAR more reliable.
Congrats new record 🎉
Great 👍

@@rurouni168 Thank you bro!!👌🏻
When your battery was below 2.5v i was yelling inside my head "start landing your damaging the cells" then I see you near the drone and still keep flying when you could have landed earlier and just walked a bit 😂😂😂 I have the same pack and I land at 14500-15000 mah around 2.6-2.7v a cell. Those new 1.35kg gold sa08 packs look great but so expensive. 21.6Ah
haha yes, the plan was to land at 2.55 , but it dropped super fast ! it still works good after 50 cycles after this.
Hey! How do you set up your 4 antennas on your googles? Which ones go on top and Which ones go on bottom?
@@BrunoVentura22 Hey ! I have the goggles 2 with 2 antennas only on top😁 single crosshair from true rc.

How can you fly soo far? My visual connection cuts off at 400 metres :(
max power on dji 03 , patch antennas on the goggles 2 , and trur rc core lhcp antennas on the quad.
@@christianmong-hansen1835 Have to look at how i do dji o3 in max power. Does it affect lipo usage allot?

@@christophersmith879 do you have a RTH ? If you have a good working one , you should not be that worried.
Nice try, beautiful places. 4:34 HV transmission line. No wonder you've lost signal. I just wonder why you didn't choose this place 3:25 and fly right along the water. Seems to be better. Wind or logistics?
Thanks ! Its not a try , this is a total complete hardlimit of The DJI 03 system , 23.4 km is The Max limit before signal is automatic cut off.
@@christianmong-hansen1835 Thanks for the correction
That's insane dude. You mention signal is less stable over water.... And I've seen lots of videos where people failsafe over water, but nobody seems to talk about why. Do we know why?

10 inch helion, 16.000 1.2 kg battery from upgrade energy , goggles 2 with 2 trure rc patch antennas , tbs tango 2 crossfire controller , true rc Core 16mm antennas on the drone, thats it ! and some headtracking training lol.
What should I order from Helion 10 Ali
Link, please
It flew 10 km before the video came back??? So you were sitting there for 5 minutes without video? That must have been terrifying.
Haha yes , actually it was 13 minutes !
Well optimized gps rescue is a must when flying long range. Even if it's only 2-3km far away. You never know what happen. There's no excuse with betaflight 4.5 and gps moduls for less than 20 €/$ also gps rescue gives you way more confidence at the edge of losing your signal. Just hit the gps rescue button and wait for video signal returns 😊
was battery ok after that?
@@qwer55555555 yeah, The whole point was to drain it , so see Max range. Battery had 300 mah left , so it survived.
