Hey, I really like your enthusiastic expression of the hawk that just came in from the right hand side. Fortunately, it was not a birdstrike, but I understand your experience of the situation, greetings from Denmark.
Nice. I flew my Mavic Pro over the Everglades when visiting my Daughter in Naples, FL. I used a way point programmed flight mode and just watched it go. Unfortunately, even though I was flying over a nature preserve, no Alligators in the video. ;)
Great flight! I’m in northern DE and up here, I find it a challenge to fly my Mavic Air due to flight restrictions and a lot of interference issues unless I’m in Glasgow Park, Newark or Delaware City. I have posted a few flights but no range tests. Thanks and keep posting! I hope to get to the Rehoboth area before winter.
Thank you for the awesome video!! That bird was close..... What an awesome shot! It's refreshing to see another MA video since the Mavic Pro 2 release. I'm still on .0300 firmware as well. Seems like all the firmware proceeding this has too many issues. Only issue I have is RTH to Remote Location on my new iPad 9.7 with cellular. Simply won't connect due to weak signal. I've done a couple iPad tests for GPS signal which proved perfect in every way........ DJI engineers stated that it would be fixed through the next software through several emails with them. This was well before .0500 firmware....... which was not resolved. Other than that, .0300 is solid. Thanks again for an awesome video, I have learned a lot from you over the past year. Ray 👍😊
I was worried about updating my firmware and fly safe database as well but I’m glad I did. They actually dialed in the no fly zones around me to be more specific and I can actually fly in areas I couldn’t before. I don’t know if it was from a complaint I left or if they are slowly catching up on mapping.
Love mine bro...what firmware do you recommend? I'm running the most current. I know mine will go further ...so far 9300 ft. is my greatest distance ...landing with 26% battery still left...I feel I could have went another 3 or 4 thousand feet.
Check out my other range test th-cam.com/video/_Q6t5xZKCSk/w-d-xo.html I always had luck with the v01.00.0300 firmware. I did not update mine because this firmware worked flawlessly for me. Thanks for watching!! Please like share and subscribe!
@@edrone_ ...so I can downgrade to this firmware you speak of? I know I can reset my drone from DJI Assistant.. but I cant remember if I have the option to choose what firmware.
@@droneready8278 i don't believe you will be able too if your past the .0500 firmware or newer. Dji prevented anyone from being able to roll back once updated to .0500 or newer.
I think the Normal Vs Sport Mode is debatable. I always get the same distance in both. i just get there quicker in Sport Mode. My personal best was 12,600 feet in the PA. mountains. And.. I always lose contact with the drone. Screen goes blank with zero input at all. Somehow, its always manages to find its way back home safely. Ive gotten so used to it that I put the controller down, open up a beer and just wait for it come home. and, so far it always has. : ) P.S. Here is one of my further flights. th-cam.com/video/DVs7KEd4t50/w-d-xo.html I lost contact around 4.55. No control at all. But she came home in one piece.
Was this this a hobbyist (Part 336) or Part 107 flight? If it was hobbyist flight what COB guidelines were you flying under to fly beyond VLOS? If Part 107, do you have a BVLOS Waiver? Either way, it seems to me this flight is a violation and you have provided video proof. Please help me understand if I am wrong.
Brave video. Don't you have anything to boost your range. I wanted it to make it to the beach and see if anything can help your range from where you took off from.
It's a shame you lost a signal bar by going higher that's ridiculous usually you would have a better signal when you're higher that's why the mavic is a horrible drone for signal interference of any sort I think if you sneeze you would lose a bar that's how bad it is DJI you should have used Occusync
Wouldn't surprise me if you got fined for this, in Australia I was fined for less. And here if you impacted with a bird of prey you would have to sell your house.
@@anthonysmith5979 I had my wife a mile out as a spotter for vlos and how are you supposed to have control of what the birds do if you are flying in legal airspace?
Yeah as I said, if in Australia. Also your spotter is allowed but only standing in close proximity. Our Civil Aviation Safety Authority would have you in court. I've done similar with my inspire and mavic, now I've had to make the videos private might have to sell up and move to the USA lol. I believe the FAA rules for hobbyist is only restricted to 400 ft altitude otherwise it's open but from what I'm hearing it's all about to change over there.
@@anthonysmith5979 yes 400 feet is the highest you can go legally as a hobbyist or commercial without permission you need special permission to go higher
Nice.But you should never have the Return To Home activate its self.Thats the last option a safe drone pilot wants to happen.You are taking a risk of many things going wrong.And this days.Well I'am just not going to say.Good Luck flying anyways.

Awesome man hit me up when you come down we can link up and do some flying

That is a really awesome bird brother!
Very good 👍
With the new FW 0.500?
Nope I still have the 0.300 firmware and I'm staying put!
How much is that in meter?
2,963.33 meters roughly
edrone Thanks man!
Was this this a hobbyist (Part 336) or Part 107 flight?
If it was hobbyist flight what COB guidelines were you flying under to fly beyond VLOS?
If Part 107, do you have a BVLOS Waiver?
Either way, it seems to me this flight is a violation and you have provided video proof.
Please help me understand if I am wrong.
Hobbyist flight and I had my wife as a spotter 1 mile down the road to maintain visual line of sight
@@edrone_ good!
Bryan Dooley lol
edrone not sure that works either , even if you had radios or phones?
Bryan diddley please shut the hell up
awsome vid!! But the drone camera is way better than your own vid.
Thanks...I think?
Kool still Decent range!!!!
Brave video. Don't you have anything to boost your range. I wanted it to make it to the beach and see if anything can help your range from where you took off from.
Nothing yet I am going to get a wifi booster I think but still not sure due to battery life
@@edrone_ you can always get someone there at the beach waiting hehe.
That was cool 😎

The bird encounter was definitely not intentional why do you think I would get fined?
if in Aust' Going beyond line of site and operating in a situation where a bird of prey was subject to impact. your FAA rules are about to change.

If u update the latest firmware, u will not fly fUrther
How far were you able to go on latest firmware?
Just 150 to 200 far away and signal lost. And height test is about 150 m, and signal was lost, before 500 m height still available.
I think this update is to cancel the crack from CE mode To Fcc mode, eventhough we still in mind used the fcc mode.
@@stephenstephen74 I dont plan on updating firmware any time soon I'm still on the .0300
Nice.But you should never have the Return To Home activate its self.Thats the last option a safe drone pilot wants to happen.You are taking a risk of many things going wrong.And this days.Well I'am just not going to say.Good Luck flying anyways.
There are only two options for lost signal return to home or land and I dont want the drone to land whenever it loses signal
Anything to do with a drone is the last thing you need to worry about. Learn how to type a decent paragraph first.
