And also, the utmost respect for your courage in sending your expensive drone on such a long journey. Even when the connection starts to break down, you keep stepping on the gas until nothing works anymore and the thing decides on its own to come back home. 😮👍
4.28 miles that’s pretty good. And you did it the best way in a residential area some people range test with nothing around them either overwater or farmland your way, shows the true strength of the signal through all the interferences great video I calculated it where the video was lagging, a portion of the screen on the bottom left side you couldn’t read it but thanks for the video
Looking at the map when you were going out it seems the RC was not pointing exactly at the drone in both axes. Else the blue and green line would align. So maybe you could go further.. I'll wait for the mini pro version with o4 to decide what to do
Maybe the signal reception is better in the rear of the drone. I think it's the same with the Air2s. To avoid the disconnections, you could simply fly backwards.
I've noticed the same on both, I think, the DJI Mini 3 PRO and the Mavic 3 PRO. Clearly the reception/transmission is stronger when the rear of the drone faces the controller. Upon low signal strength I fly bakwards until I get white bars.
@@mauricebos Give it a check up. Being down on 1 or 2 bars I experienced that the camera tilt as well as drone rotating worked strangely which is really annoying.
How the hell is that possible? The only explanation for how you got a remaining flight time of over 60 minutes in the beginning is that you had a strong tailwind. I've had something similar before, but not over such a huge distance. The outbound flight was very relaxed, but on the return flight I had soaking wet hands! 😳 But it turned out well. 😂
All of these range test videos I've seen so far are over flat open terrain. I'd like to see a test where it's densely forested and see how much rain you get under those conditions.
OK, you flew out 6k plus before you lost signal. The drone took a slightly different path back, probably over heavy wifi areas, but why I you having signal issues at 500m away?
Nice flight. I was a little worried though when I noticed were heading out with a tail wind. That's why towards the end of your return flight the battery life was going down rather quickly. I really enjoyed your video.
Because of the new 5.2 GHZ frequency it should perform much better in urban areas with lots of wifi interference. Im from London and I have the mini 3 pro that I have put in fcc mode. When I first bought it i used to get 400m in ce mode but now I get 800m. I was considering buying the autel nano because of the 5.2ghz frequency but there is no way to put it into fcc mode. I am hoping the fcc hack on my mini 3 pro should give equal performance to the air 3.
Ja daar heb ik ook geen verklaring voor. Lijkt erop dat of de ontvangers op de drone achterop zitten of hij moeite heeft met een stabiele verbinding op te bouwen na verlies. Ik wil ook nog een range test gaan doen met achterwaarts terug halen zodra die weer verbinding heeft.
Great effort when you consider flying over a built up area. And still being in CE mode I can JUST get that distance from my FPV in FCC mode but comes back at very low battery. The A3 will be a tempting buy when I can get it into FCC mode. 😎
That's really good considering you are at ground level and not high up. Did you crap yourself for a few minutes when it completely lost signal? I always need to clean my draws after that happens to me.
Can check if u are using RC2 controller for the test? I tested my in CE in urban environment getting 700 plus 800m😨. I have yet to test it in the open. I am Quite impressive by your video.
Nice but you should have found a better direction so you wouldn't be flying over houses the wi fi interference made the connection drop out and the screen kept freezing up but for CE mode good flight
Exciting flight, you had guts. For an expensive drone I think it's better to use it for shots in other places, I've been to Netherland twice and they have many wonderful places. I have not taken drones because of the problem of permit policies and stuff. How is the Regulation with the Mini 3 Pro? What do I have to do to be able to fly the next time I go and it will be soon. greetings from Mexico
Bro my mini 2 goes further no been mean, I also got the mavic 3 classic and it seem to do better, got somewhere else with less transmission pollution, good video tho
Nice vid, although I don't understand why you only got white bars at 500mts, I live in Spain so I'm on CE with my Mini 3 pro, but I get white bars up to 2000mts going and coming back, maybe they need to put some receivers in the front of the drone.......lol Part 2 just watched the ending and now I see why you didn't get a signal back sooner it was because you were behind trees and a massive building, but I did enjoy the vid...........subbed.😎
thank you 👍🏻, yes on the return trip the drone came back behind the trees and farm. when I had it in a straight line the connection was back to full strength. for part 2 i will also test it by flying backwards.

That sort of range in CE was unheard of with o3. That 5.1GHz at 200mw seems to be helping a tonne
Yes its helping a lot

Please do a comparison video with Dji Mavic 3 Classic Vs Dji Air3 Please Please

Wow, you really pushed it very far. Brave of you, excellent video!
Thank you 👍🏻
yee haaw - i am a fan of long distance too
Yeah its really fun
I noticed your signal stayed bad all the way back to the home point once you lost connection. Not sure why that happened. Thx foe sharing.

Wow is all I can say can't wait for mine to come in. Bought it yesterday 🤯
Thank you 👍🏻, have fun with it 🚀
Sent it. A lot of faith in the rth. Makes me anxious watching.
Me 2 😉.
Wild!!!
Thank you 👍🏻

I had tailwind on the way out, you can see the way home used much mure battery.

OK, you flew out 6k plus before you lost signal. The drone took a slightly different path back, probably over heavy wifi areas, but why I you having signal issues at 500m away?
I think it was because of the building and the low altitude. As soon as I bring it into a straight line, you'll see full range again.
LOL men fantastic.!....RTH procedure seems perfect 20 second?
It seems like that. I am glad it works 😀
Nice flight. I was a little worried though when I noticed were heading out with a tail wind. That's why towards the end of your return flight the battery life was going down rather quickly. I really enjoyed your video.

@@mauricebos No thanks needed. I really enjoyed watching your video so it was my pleasure to comment.

@dronenznapierit was in London where there’s lots of buildings that the signal has to penetrate.
Is het niet vreemd dat het signaal op weg naar Vleuten sterker was dan bij terugkeer?
Ja daar heb ik ook geen verklaring voor. Lijkt erop dat of de ontvangers op de drone achterop zitten of hij moeite heeft met een stabiele verbinding op te bouwen na verlies. Ik wil ook nog een range test gaan doen met achterwaarts terug halen zodra die weer verbinding heeft.
@@mauricebos ben benieuwd naar dat resultaat
Netjes toch !! Hoe bevalt ie verder ? Wel jammer dat ie geen instelbaar diafragma heeft , dus op zonnige dagen is ND filer wel een must
Bevalt zeer goed beter dan de Mini 3 pro welke ik hiervoor had. Voornamelijk op bereik en windresistentie gebied
Great effort when you consider flying over a built up area. And still being in CE mode I can JUST get that distance from my FPV in FCC mode but comes back at very low battery. The A3 will be a tempting buy when I can get it into FCC mode. 😎
Hopefully it will soon arive
@leicesterfromabove8925como?
@leicesterfromabove8925how?
Nice video, is the drone c1 marked?
Yes its C1 marked.
This is surreal distance. My Air 2S range record was a little bit more than 2km, but in a mountain with a lake area, so no other interference.
do you have patches for the mini 3 pro?@matttyf123
Nice flight, just wish you had recorded it. Flight time is not an issue with that long-life battery.
I didn't want to risk running out of battery so I just took a screenshot.
That's really good considering you are at ground level and not high up. Did you crap yourself for a few minutes when it completely lost signal? I always need to clean my draws after that happens to me.
it is always exciting whether the rth will do its job properly. luckily this one works very well.

Yes im am using the Dji rc2. Maybe there is a lot of interferance.
it`s like duracell batteries...goes and goes and goes on...😉it`s impressive!!!
Thank you 👍🏻
Nice but you should have found a better direction so you wouldn't be flying over houses the wi fi interference made the connection drop out and the screen kept freezing up but for CE mode good flight
I wanted to keep the test as realistic as possible.
still waiting air3 s
I'm also curious what will be in the air 3s.

For the mini 3 you need a special number from RDW (DMV). It’s a exploitantennummer. Under 250 grams their is no need for a A1,A2 or A3 certificate.
Wat een bereik! Had gewild dat ik dat uit mijn mavic 3 classic kom trekken haha
Ja bereik hebben ze gelukkig aardig opgeschroefd met OC4.
Bedankt voor je test ik ga hem ook kopen
Graag gedaan en veel plezier ermee alvast 👍🏻
it will be a good drone for youtubers like us
It sure is
Really good! Gonna sell my dji mini 3 pro and buy this one with the fly more kit
Good choice 👍🏻
CE or FCC ? :)
CE
Nice
Thank you 👍🏻
Out of interest. Can you do a range test using the drones cruise control? Save you pushing the stick
My next project are indeed range test with waypoint and Cruise Control. When i find the time i will.
Not so far ?
for European standards (CE) it is certainly not bad. keep in mind that this transmits much weaker than FCC mode.
Bro my mini 2 goes further no been mean, I also got the mavic 3 classic and it seem to do better, got somewhere else with less transmission pollution, good video tho
This is CE mode and not FCC.
beautiful country!
Thank you👍🏻
If this is CE 7KM and test is genuine then yes! would buy!
It is genuine, this is why i uploaded the video uncut and full lenght.
심장이 쫄깃쫄깃 했어요 😅..
그렇게 먼거리를 비행할 수도 있다는게 처음 알게되었어요.그러나 저는 절대로 그렇게 하지 않을꺼예요..
그 용기에 박수를 보냅니다.
Top ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you👍🏻
Thaks 👌
You’re welcome
Damn the battery life is insane when compared to mavic air 2
yes the intelligent batteries do their job well.
@@mauricebos do you have DJI refresh how much was it for that drone for 2 years do you know I couldn't find it on the website
@@FrankieBagzit was like €109 for 1 year. Most of the time i will change drones within a year.
@@mauricebos damn change drones every year! I wish! I want the mavic 3 pro but don't want either of those display controllers
7km? Nice :-)
Thank you 👍🏻
You were between 2 buildings. That would have severely hindered your range.
right, in hindsight I should have picked a better place to take off.
Thank you 🙏 for doing this test.
You’re welcome
Aardig stukje bereik.
Ja zeker ! OC 4 en de extra antennes doen hun werk goed.
Nice 🥰
Thank you 👍🏻
@@mauricebos got today 8,8km right over Düsseldorf/Germany . With FCC Mode. Crazy sh¡† Dude
👍👍

Nice vid, although I don't understand why you only got white bars at 500mts, I live in Spain so I'm on CE with my Mini 3 pro, but I get white bars up to 2000mts going and coming back, maybe they need to put some receivers in the front of the drone.......lol Part 2 just watched the ending and now I see why you didn't get a signal back sooner it was because you were behind trees and a massive building, but I did enjoy the vid...........subbed.😎

Too low….. 6.5km you should get 2-300m height.
That’s illegal
In the Netherlands we have a maximum flight altitude of 120m /393ft.
Definitely disappointed for me in terms of range
unfortunately the ce transmit power is less than the fcc transmit power.
