I noticed that you didn’t use your compass to help you keep your controller position pointed towards the drone. It really helps increase range the blue/ green dot with the arrow pointing towards the arrow on the compass and hold your controller horizontal so that the signal is pointing straight towards the drone. I’ve gotten 6 miles with my mavic air 2
@Verbal Ninja Are you using your compass to make sure you are pointing your controller towards the drone? If not then that’s probably why. Hold your controller horizontally the signal coming from the top of the controller is pointing directly towards the drone. Because if you are facing the east and the drone is flying south or any other direction you won’t get the best range results.
Many Thanks! Very useful to know the distance you can fly over the sea. Now I know it can fly around Mont Saint-Michel (Normandy) which is less than 5 miles from the coast.
Don’t question why a drone can go that far. It’s better to have than to have not. Better to go with than to go without. I live in a place where there are plenty of hills, and I have never seen them all. A drone like this and the ability to fly to these remote spots, instead of walking, riding, or driving, just opens up a whole new world for me to explore. We need the range to explore. Which is why I wish DJI didn’t bring out every drone with the best camera for cinematography. I’d like, for once, options with the cameras. I’d like just one with a x30 zoom.
so that requires a line of sight? Is it possible to fly say 5 km away and then land it somewhere? Or the signal will be instantly lost if you try to go down at that distance?
Fun fact, not sure when they started using the boosted occusync (either with the mavic pro or the mavic 2) but the drones before the mavic 3 were capable of boosting to 3 watts transmission. The mavic 3 doesn't even boost to 3 watts - im assuming for cooling reasons vs battery life and weight. If you test the control link of all the mavic series (not sure the original mavic) they all boost to nearly 3 watts when powered up. What does this mean? Well - the occusync system has overhead - meaning if cooled and allowed to use its full watts - it could go further.
Here is a really great videos explaining it. Linked 2 videos because they have used different systems. th-cam.com/video/gfqcSv9sR0A/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/ItUxSnbeoEY/w-d-xo.html
It's one guy has you beat though. Along the beach he was over 30k feet! At ground level too I believe he launched from. But height is king! Raise the drone or raise the controller! Great video! Beautiful place!
I've gotten over 9000m and could've gone for more here in Colorado with my M3 but using the new smart remote, crazy cool drones. You said under 20 minutes (are you flying in S mode?) I'm getting well over 33 minutes.
Those little things that few people notice about the Mavic 3 yet those things make such a huge difference in terms of our flight experience with the Mavic 3
You did it right, as long as you have line of sight it is crazy how far you can fly these especially the Mavic 3. Just ordered mine can't wait, the latest firmware update that fixed last few issues finally (7 zoom camera, GPS locking on, etc.) got my attention now. I knew this drone would be amazing, but like a lot of electronic manufactures they released it before fixing most of the bugs. Having a 4/3 sensor and 7x zoom camera in an affordable drone so you don't have plunk down money for say Inspire 2 w/X5S gimbal & lens for $3000 more is crazy good. I know lot of people complained about price when first came out but I think it is bargain for what you get.
Line of sight? The FAA say something? Huh? What you say FAA? I don't know but I think the FAA is screaming something about 5 miles away! VLOS? Who? I never met her!! Buwahaha! I do believe VLOS is broken with every flight I make! LOL Hell the Mini1 will easily break VLOS! It's ancient! Hey! FAA! When are you going to finally catch up with the times and join us in 2022? =]
that's some great video footage and you said why would anyone want that range well where you live such a beautiful place and I would definitely fly that far if I lived there look at all that scenery you got 😀 great video my friend look forward to some more 😁👍 🇬🇧
Just ordered the Mavic 3. First drone I bought was back in 2015 and it was a 3D Robotics. Bulky huge drone that I flew 3 times and crashed it into a tree haha. Its sat in the carry bag ever since that time. So I am very excited for these newer drones and all the safety sensors and all that. And this video is reasurring on dji drones range abilities.
I have a question and if you can answer it for me I would appreciate it how were you able to fly your drone so far out of line of sight when the regulations are you have to fly line of sight how would you able to do that legally or was it illegal if you could answer from me I would appreciate it
I would think an American would use imperial units. Do most people fly from their roof. To me, the test should be run from the ground. I just tested mine two days ago, and I didn't get anywhere near that distance. Nice video.
Range is even better if you have a DJI RC Pro controller don't ask me why but it is at least that's my experience. Also the price point for the Mavic 3 Cine is not worth the extra dollars $$$ that it cost just to have an extra zoom camera owning both the Cine and the Classic I see really no big difference other than the classic only having one camera.
Cool video. You are violating FAA VLOS rules though. "With vision that is unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, the remote pilot in command, the visual observer (if one is used), and the person manipulating the flight control of the small unmanned aircraft system must be able to see the unmanned aircraft throughout the entire flight in order to: (1) Know the unmanned aircraft's location; (2) Determine the unmanned aircraft's attitude, altitude, and direction of flight; (3) Observe the airspace for other air traffic or hazards; and (4) Determine that the unmanned aircraft does not endanger the life or property of another." A tiny dot on the horizon is not VLOS.
great to know whet the range is. Thanks for testing. I agree, the battery life is amazing. I went from the Pro 1 to the 3 and I feel like I can go forever. I would love to know your views on the wide angle lens. I find myself breaking ceiling limits to get more scenery, and I think the wide angle lens could fix that. what's your view though?
Great video! Mavic 3 range suppose to be 15 kilometers in fcc mode and 9 kilometers in CE mode euro version! But all videos of range test i see maximum it hits 7 kilometers !!! It should go much more further before the signal go weak!! I dont understand dji advertising, even with the battery thing it says 46 mins and i can understand its up to 46 meters and in real flight wont give full minutes but all flight test videos shows its not flying more than 33 mins !!! The mavic air 2 half the price and its real flight time 29 mins and i reached range 5 kilometers . I dont think mavic 3 good as much as the marketing for it .
I noticed your altitude was 422 meters. Wonder what your range would have been if you had stayed no higher than 400 feet (which is the FAA limit)? You live in a beautiful place!
Yeah its not cool to post evidence like this that can then be used to change legislation. Very irresponsible to post this video. Kinda wish the FAA would go after people that document their violations.
5 months ago, yea, i was going to watch your vid but the comment of Why would anyone want to fly that far put me off. On a huge cattle station here in Australia and about to buy m3pro....need surveilance as rustlers are more and more determined to steal cattle and sheep. Fyi.
flying into controlled airspace, over roads, all for a monetized video. why does anyone bother getting their 107 when this is the level of enforcement.
@@SW-Video same person tested other drones in same line of path, actually, terrain/starting point with m3 test was even lower, and it still get about twice as range (ad it could still goes on, if battery would let it to return back) from any other drone. clueless fan boi..
This is fake Range test 6km this is not true. Like example for my Dji Mini 2 range in Europe City and radio control signal for me is only 700 meters what is not enough for my needs. Dji should improve the RC signal strength it is not 6km but only 700 meters.
Hi. I'm looking for a computer spec recommendation along with an editing software recommendation. Can someone assist with that for me? Thanks in advance
Such insane range! That drone is something else!
The capability of these new drones is just crazy
I’m buying one Rn I just have to🤣

do u mean the Air2s? because the air 2 has occusync 2.0 technology and it cant go that far, contrary to the air2s which has Occusync 3
Many Thanks! Very useful to know the distance you can fly over the sea. Now I know it can fly around Mont Saint-Michel (Normandy) which is less than 5 miles from the coast.
Nice view of the garden of the gods in Colorado Springs I live not too far from there

get the search and rescue m30 series they came out with
Nice I seen Dustin dunhill do a range test with the mavic 3 he flew like 49,000 feet which is wild
I ordered the Mavic 3 Cine Premium Combo few days ago and it should be here next Tuesday, I can't wait
so that requires a line of sight? Is it possible to fly say 5 km away and then land it somewhere? Or the signal will be instantly lost if you try to go down at that distance?
I got my dji mavic 3 for Christmas and it has a battery charger included with three extra batteries and a spare part for everything.
Amazing. Thanks for the upload

I don't own the mavic 3 but typically it's better to do range tests in S mode. Lower flight time but higher speed gets you further and back
Why r u using the metric system in the u.s.a?

That is absolutely amazing. Great video.
The distance test is good, but the scenery is so nice.
I took my mavic Pro Platinum over 4 MI, so I'm surprised that this only went 5 miles, especially when DJI claims 9 miles!
Why don’t you like the Enterprise 3T?
Garden of the Gods!!!!
Just a quick question, which mavic 3 has the best price performance ?
Do u think it would make it up the top of those mountains and back ?
nice flight, beautiful as usual.
always a pleasure to watch your videos.

To get a better connection on RTH fly in reverse, that way you don't lose connection.......
Very amazing video!!!!So nice and many impressions!!!I like your style to make Videos!!You have a New subscriber👍👍👍greetings from Germany 👍 🙏
Hi, thanks a lot for sharing. I'm curious that can you charge the battery while flying (or turn on the drone)? That may extend the flying distance?
U must never flew a drone before...
Great piloting..Beautiful area..How’s the glare on your phone screen?
"just kidding" you just made me laugh... thanks! Thumbs up!
Why don’t you like the 3T?
Pretty amazing.
This drone transmission is silly less from what expected!!! Reached 7000 meters and the conn went poor!! I flew the mavic air 2 for 7200 meters!!!
Awesome cactus garden. :D

Thanks man!
So those first 5 seconds of "lost drone" footage was judt click bait....? Never explained, never got to thst. What happened there??
30 kms is impossible. The best DJI controller (RC Pro) only claims a 15 km range. I couldn't get past 7 kms before I was out of RTH range.
DJI mavic 3 with rc n1 or DJI rc (Display)
What happen if you lost connection or GPS?
Nice ….my new fimi 2022 is supposed to be able to go 10km or 6 mile …I doubt it but I can dream…maybe in 5 years I can get a busted mavic 3
We should go flying...I am on east side of red rock,1min from you. LMK
I am satisfied with the range of Mavic 3
I can't get more than 5k on my drone in a rural area...is it because you were on your roof?

what about height range ? thank you

What mode? CE , or FCC?
FCC.
That range is insane considering you were pointing the remote upward lol I bet it goes further easily pointed towards the drone. Great video!
