The aerials on the drone pick up the signal better from the back of the drone. It drops off when the drone is facing towards you. If you reverse back you will still get a signal.
Always nice to see fellow drone pilots doing real rage tests instead of flying it around and around great video and thanks for sharing it I really enjoyed it 👍 🇬🇧
Nice range cushion. I can't imagine needing that very often. I've had my non-FCC version out to about 2.5 miles and that was plenty, not to mention the +battery was close to RTH value. I'd still like to have FCC power to possibly better keep the signal behind obstacles, but I guess you can't have it all.
Interesting range test there with some great views. Did you manage to keep it in sight at that distance? I’d have trouble watching mine that far away..
Can the Home Point be updated on the fly? I’m thinking like flying it while on a hike that once I’ve left the original launch point can I update the Home Point so RTH would still be fairly accurate? Or a better option would be to set RTH to always return to controller, RTC.
There’s an issue with this! Currently right now the Home Point be updated to either the drone or to the controller and I think a location. The problem with this is it’s not live update meaning say you update it to the controller and you walk another mile well whenever it returns home it’s gonna go to the location you originally set. Hopefully DJI will correct this.
I just got the DJI Air 3 and I'm really enjoying it, but I'm only getting between 1 or 2 miles at the most. I live in Illinois and I have the Rc2 controller... I don't get it. Nick
Yes, I also got the air three about I think four days ago and I love it!! We have some rain because of the hurricane I’m in Texas so I’m waiting for all that to clear before. I can really really get out there and use it. But its a beast!

Does the US officially have remote ID now for drones over 250g? If/when it becomes a thing over here in thr UK (and I hope it doesn’t) then they reckon it’ll even include sub 250g drones! Anyway, as for my question…. With DJI drones already having RID built in, would the Mini 4 Pro prompt you or warn you about RID when you power up with the heavier battery? Cheers, Steve
I am registered with FAA but here is what I found. Recreational Drones Under 250g Exemption Criteria: Drones weighing under 250 grams (approximately 0.55 lbs) are exempt from the requirement to be registered with the FAA for recreational use. Consequently, these lightweight drones do not need to comply with Remote ID requirements March 3,2024. All drones must be registered, except those that weigh 0.55 pounds or less (less than 250 grams) and are flown under the Exception for Limited Recreational Operations. Drones registered under the Exception for Limited Recreational Operations cannot be flown under Part 107.Mar 18, 2024 I have the plus battery and no I don’t get any kind of warning on my RC2 controller.
@@JandE-TEX-DRONES Thsnks for that. I’ve just popped a mini 3 battery into my mini 4 and it didn’t bring up any warning either.. and yet I’m sure it used to do (I tried it when I first got my mini 4 pro) maybe they’ve changed it 🤔 The mini 3 pro’s batteries take the weight of the mini 4 pro over the 250g, as does the extended battery for the mini 4 (hence my question about you possibly needing remote ID) In fact we can’t even get the extended batteries over here. Well, not through the official channels anyway. Cheers Steve
@@Steve_G7RTA After reading your question I wondered if you had someone buy them over here in the states and then ship the box over there. When you tried to use them over there would it be allowed? Also if I took my took my DJI M4P over there would it still be in FCC mode?
@@JandE-TEX-DRONES Buying the batteries in the US and shipping them over here would be one way around it, but unlike yourself I’m not actually registered for heavier drones, so I wouldn’t want to go down that route myself (thanks anyway, if you were offering 😀) Interesting question about you bringing your drone over here tho.. I’m not sure. I’m guessing it would still work under FCC but at same time wouldn’t be legal. There are dozens of TH-cam videos on how to change the drones to FCC with the so called “FCC Hack”. I know many Brits have done it and extended the range as a result. But at the same time, there have been (at least 2) prosecutions for pilots that have installed the hack. I think both were caught doing other things tho and had their drones examined..and found to have the fcc hack installed. Cheers Steve
I use UAV FORECAST. It all depends on the drone. You can set your wind speed on the app so if the wind and wind gust are over this amount it will let you know its not a good day to fly. Specs say the following: mini 4 pro, specs are that the drone can withstand 23mph winds.
I find that sometimes this can happen even when I am constantly facing the drone. Maybe a phone/controller compass calibration is needed from time to time?
Boss, one thing is to test out the range capabilities of your drone (range test). I’m sure it’s common among drone owners, but to post the video for everyone to see is another thing. The faa is known to look at videos and reach out.
nice flight 👍but when you was going thru your settings i would have the RTH set to preset not optimal so the drone will rise to your set altitude and fly back avoiding hitting any buildings. i know the mini 4 has obstacle avoidance but its not 100%
Yes that day there was a breeze but it was not directly toward the drone. If I would have flown directly into the wind I would have been headed to the airport. Don’t want that. :)
Yes it was and that had to be the reason I did not get the distance as last time. It was very close but I also did not have the antennas pointing correctly or in the correct position so I’m pretty sure that made a difference also.
Yes, I totally agree! It’s been raining the last few days so I haven’t been able to fly, but I want to go find a country road and do active track with my truck and put it the drone in fast track and sport mode sport and do a video also. Also I’d love to do a range test in the country!! In time!

I paid around $1255.00 for the DJI MINI 4 Pro RC 2 and it came with the 3 batteries that came with the charging station. It was high but I think well worth it! Its a great drone!

@J&E - I wish you luck with your new channel, but you're definitely playing with FAA fire flying waaay beyond VLOS at 3 1/2 miles and posting your videos on TH-cam. Even if you really have spotters along the route (which I sincerely doubt), it's obvious that no one, other than Superman or someone sporting binoculars or a telescope (both verboten), could actually see your tiny M4P drone flying along at 400 ft altitude, even directly above. I have both the original Mini 1 and the M4P and they both tend to vanish quickly way before they're 400 feet away, or above.

@@JandE-TEX-DRONES Not trying to be VLOS police here, but no. A chain of visual observers, or spotters, is not approved as VLOS. The spotter needs to be right next to the pilot.
I never owed the mini 2 so I am not sure what the normal range should be. I do know the mini 4 does have a lot better range compared to the previous mini models. It could just be how the mini 2 is or you are having some kind of interference with something on the ground not sure. There could be a number of reasons.
In an urbun environment with WIFI interference the Mini 2 doesn't do that good. Out in the open away from that though it does well. Ocusync 3 and 4 have better anti intererence around WIFI.
Just at the beginning. Two things working against you. First is the wind. Best choice is flying perpendicular so it is directly from one side, but it is still going to work on the battery. Second is the flight environment. Tons of houses & Wi-Fi. Do you have any open water or rural options in your area? Below is a Mini 3 Pro video. 27,041' & she could have gone further. th-cam.com/video/jdfGQZfOWFA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LAuAS_mmWWJY3-Fn
Actually, that’s something I’m looking for I do I’m in Texas, but I will. I don’t want to drive all over creation to get to it. Later on we are going to Kentucky so most likely will check it out there. With that said, I was pretty impressed at how far it did go with all the houses and buildings and lines and everything else.

As long as you have people watching your drone at all times along your path and I believe you were just fine. I guess if the they came to my location to see if I had that they would know.
