That is some good range! You always make these demonstrations fun. Dibs on the unicycle hoverboard thigie!
The most enthusiastic drone reviewer on planet Earth. 💪
Just what we asked for ...
-Enjoyed this vid.
Much has been said about the range of this one but finally now, a comparison with different RCs. Thanks as always for a helpful and fun content!
I agree that I won’t be flying nearly as far as you have in either of the tests. For me, it was only disappointing as this will be the first drone purchase. I hope the new controller works well and gets the distance the RC N1 just achieved. Bravo to you for such a quick return video answering your followers questions. Thank you.
Excellent Video!!! Great to see it works better signal wise
Thank you for doing this video. It clears things up with the two controllers
Enthusiasm wins the day. Glad you came back with "revised" test.
I watched your last video on the day my m3p arrived and it made me worry quite a bit, but after updating the firmware on mine and watching this I feel so much better. I'm new to your channel but I love your reviews already
Oh, thank you so much for doing this test again, I was actually contemplating cancelling my order.
Glad to see that the update corrected the distance problems you had last time.
Why cancel? Remember VLOS.
Still, have you watched the original video? When my old Mavir Air had better range with wifi than this with ocusync then there would be a problem with the tech. Good to know that they fixed it otherwise I would have cancelled it.
I enjoy your videos and your attention to detail. Thank you for that
Wow this is big big improvement I was so worried about the last test with RC control 😂 almost cancelled my order 🤦🏻♂️
Why cancel? Remember VLOS.
Ppl r so quick to cancel and order It is unbelievable. They watch one test and run and cancel.
@@phroden For me. Range tests provide a base line, compared to other aircraft. IMHO, these BVLOS range tests are critically important. It's a crude way to gauge LQ when going behind trees, buildings, multi path signal reflection, failsafe limits, etc... All while maintaining VLOS.
@@cognetic I feel the exact same way. I've had the drone well within VLOS behind some trees without leaves and there were signal dropouts. With a more stable signal you get a safer flight. What if you need to rapidly descend during one of those dropouts for example?
@@MartinFransson Maybe one day someone will figure out a way to increase the VX mw output for us HAM operators, for such situations (as they have done with the DJI air units). Speaking of air units. I know it's off subject but, I also wish the DJI FPV Goggles would work with the Mini, Mavic, etc. lines.
Will done Hendrik on taking the time and effort to do this for us. Much appreciated. My only comment would be that the signal on the old RC seemed so stronger overall in terms of bars on connection
Your videos are fun! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you ! Enjoyed watching your test.
Super cool, I was waiting for this test, thank you 🤝🤟🏼😎
Well that was way more encouraging. Thanks for the effort. We learned a lot through this video.
Thanks for the Test! Looks good now.
Absolutely awesome video 🤩👍🏻I really appreciate how many great ideas are you coming with and how much effort you are willing to put into your videos, Henrik. Just amazing ✨
Thank you! Cheers!
Not only range test but the battery depletion to less than 0! I was thinking it would come crashing down but nope! Quality product managed to "LAND"! So worth it 😍 Thank you for this!
Great test! Subscribed!
Amazing , funny and useful test. You are my new hero, thank you very much !!!
Another great video from Tech Drone Media. Thanks Henrik!
Nice Test! Thank you
Good test, thanks! And pleasing result!
Much love to u! Very friendly and nice. Awesome Video ❤😊
the movie "drunk" was really good, love the cheerfulness
Great video, I think the m3p maybe similar to the spark the antennas on the drone have better reception from the rear than the front. My old (now rip) spark I used to notice it would have much worse signal if it was returning to home and facing me. Thanks for the vid as my mp3 arrives tomorrow! But unfortunately will have to wait for the plus battery's end of May with the combo.
Thank you so much Heinrich
Great video thanks
Good stuff!!!
Brilliant video 📹 👏 👌 👍🏻 🙌
Thank you
Brilliant!! 👍🏼
Much better well done.... mine came today.
Awesome work with this. Range is good, and those who ant more will pretty much break regulations. For most cases OcuSync is a really reliable system and I love how these types of videos demonstrate that fact. Also fun to see that endurance test for the battery.
I was going to complain about what kind of a range test is this but saw the result. interesting findings. Thanks for the video.
Hendrick very nice test and 4x view! thx4sharing!
Amazing! thank you for this test. I bought it.
This was a highly entertaining test. 😁😁It came back with plenty of reserves.
That was fun...and a relief too
Much better thn the other day. Well done thumbs up. 👍
It's convenient having internal antennas! Good to know that it is a reliable controller. Thanks, Henrik.
That was a lot better than the first test. Next we need to see you on the unicicle.
Great test thank you , for me I’m still a bit concerned about the strength of the signal as it was moderate and in places weak basically for the complete flight even when close in , hopefully this will be better with future updates .
Congratulations to you and your great assistant! Well performed test! Just wonder if the RC performance will decrease if its connected to wifi hotspot of your phone since you would like to see the maps on your display....
You download the map to cache before flight. the wifi and Bluetooth Will disconnected automatically after taking off
There has been a lot of misleading information about the range. It is not as bad as other reviewers paint it to be. Appreciate your fair and enjoyable test!
Saw a test yesterday dude went over 7000 meters really pushed it to the max. Just made it home. 👍👍✌️
very good test....
Excellent 😊👍
Thank you for the video and all your efforts that went to making the video.
A few questions/comments if you don’t mind.
(1) When binding either controllers, did you have to press a bind button on the mini or just power it up (it wasn’t clear by the video)?
(2) If there is a physical defect that is causing the range issue, I will hope that DJI will have a simple check for those of us who are not comfortable flying the quad far. What do you think?
Thank you.
I was about to cancel my order, Henrik, after your first range test but glad I didn't after seeing this one! Thanks for the update!
Remember VLOS. So no need to cancel orders. 🙈
Great test. Looks like they made some changes to allow more distance and there seems to be no difference between controllers. I'd say this is more than adequate for flying VLOS.
Cool video, i Got mine yesterday just an unboxing video but weather rubbish so cant fly until monday so cant wait.
It'd be fun to go out for a beer with you some time! I think we all appreciate you doing this follow up range test. My m3p is on the way (I hope) and I'm breathing a lot easier after this one. Thanks!
I was considering canceling my order because of the range issues, but I'm glad it's fixed.
Nice one Henrick, thanks. I'm still not sure if turning the wifi off has an effect or not though? 👍
Awesome Video! I just bought this model in July 2022 and am experiencing the range issue.
Good vídeo 👏👏
The standard argument of the law-abiding UA-camrs and DJI-fanboys with the legal situation and the mandatory line of sight is formally correct but basically outrageous in this case: If DJI promises a range of 8km CE or 12km FCC and advertises this product with these exorbitantly high numbers, then it must at least partially correspond to reality. Porsche e.g. cannot specify a top speed of 300 km/h for the new entry-level model when the vehicle actually only 140 km/h and then come up with the argument: you are only allowed to drive at a maximum of 120 km/h anyway... Question to DJI: do you test your products before you launch them? Obviously not
You will almost never be able to reach the maximum possible range. Of curse not.
This key figure is achieved by all manufacturers under optimal conditions. It does not guarantee a minimum flight distance and is probably only suitable for a rough comparison of the signal strength of different devices from the same manufacturer. You are misinterpreting this number.
Total nonsense, "Mister Fanboy". DJI Mavic 1 Pro was advertised with 4km range in the CE - I reached 7km. Mavic Air 2 was advertised with 6km in the CE, I reached 6.5km. Mini 3 Pro advertised with 8km range in the CE - I (and every other "Tester") just reached 3km with a lot of luck with an overall abysmal signal quality from the first 600m... A good piece of advice for you: Wake up from your dream wearing your rose-coloured DJI glasses.
This test proves the signal strength, connectivity and range is good. With so many added features that actually work DJI is once again the King of Minis.
AUTEL, HUBSAN, FIMI, MJX and EACHINE are once again relegated to scrambling to copy the leader.
Long live the King
@@thomasmartinez9393 yeah so you’re both a little ignorant. Most of us fly a few hundred feet away max for pictures and video shots and fun flying.
These super numbers are irrelevant and bvlos.
@@thomasmartinez9393 you not followed the VLOS rules.
I appreciate everything I have learned from you and you always wonderful good nature.. I want to hear more about the brightness of the DJI RC screen before I buy the Mini 3 Pro. Cheers from Wisconsin.
Brightness on RC is significantly lower than RC Pro, but only slightly lower than your normal phone screen. So for me wouldn’t be a major turn off in comparison to the old remote.
So, after 'battery depleted' it could stay in the air for another 1:02. Thanks for the video and trying out.
good result
Glad you're also promoting electric unicycle use!
Wonderful comparison. Both flights were out to 2800m so round trip was 5600m but was done twice for 11.2km total on one battery. Just wonder how much farther past the 2800m mark it would have gone before losing signal on both controllers. i would have been flying back over the grass on the that last flight just in case it dropped out of the sky and at a lower altitude but kudos for keeping the parameters the same.
It can't drop out of the sky as the forced landing parameters would come into affect. This is why drones never fall out of the sky
Could have probably stopped the video recording to save a bit of battery on the return to home.
Is that RC Signal Wording info new on the Mini 3 or is it on the App update for all drones?
Another great video and test between the controllers. What is the quoted maximum distance of the CE model by dji?
8km vs. 12km (fcc).
I am overjoyed that 80% of people have bought a Smartcontroler with it, if only 20% of these report the connection stability and problems or even return it, I for me a writing in the right direction. A lot of trekking has been thrown at an Autel EVO Nano, everything has been tried (by various UA-camr) but it flies and has zero problem with connection stability (not even here in Europe = CE). Slowly the DJI fanboys are waking up. Personally, I think it's ridiculous that the DJI Mini 3 is supposed to fly in the city, so good luck. I would never fly in the city with such a thing. My Autel EVO Nano + has ZERO problem with distance and in the city, connection always there. So, good video from you, and hope it makes one or the other clear what is happening with User.
Thank you for the test. It does seem the old controller has more signal strength.
Nice test. Do you know if you were using Occusync 2 or 3 with the old controller?
The n1 has oc3 also.
Funny man … well done.
Thanks for the review, I am selling my Mini 2 to buy one of these !!!
May I ask how you get such good quality screen recording from your DJI RC? Mine is extremely pixelated
Hi Henrick I agree, range test aren't important but if Tesla says their electric cars will go 500 miles between charges
we want proof. If DJI says mini 3 will go 10 miles we want proof. A youtuber named Fly Zone has removed you from his list of influencers not willing to test its range out. Thank you for showing us the results and clearing that up. Well done.
Hey, love watching your videos. Impressed with your range test experiment.
Can you tell me……the new mini 3 works with the old mini 2 remote controller. What I’d like to know is…..will the mini 2 work with the new mini 3 controller ? Many thanks…keep up the great videos….Des and Shirley over in the UK.
Not yet - but the new controller may support the Mini 2 and Air 2S in the future, according to DJI....
meget underholdende👍
The upgraded controller gave a little longer range (2849M) vs with the RC-N1 (27xxM). Does anyone know of a range test conducted with the FCC version of the Mini 3???
Firmware update could be on the way, let's see how that works out for the new RC.
omg....ha ha ha...how jolly you are ....keep it up......I dont have the little bug yet buuut.......soon.....very soon...oww...btw...very nice place to test drones
Spændene, det gik jo fint :-)
Good video, well in the same condition the rc n1 out performed the rc pro .that is like the 5 you tube video on range test and the rc n1 got better transmission. The rc pro video feed froze at half the distance of the rc n1 .
Good job! Hopefully lack of range signal is just firmware.
Another thing that i noticed. With my mini 2 i never saw the warning battery full load and in many videos that i watched i saw it with the mini 3. Why is that? Thanks.
Can you do a video on the SD card for the RC remote. How do you get it to save video on SD card from rc control
hi henrik, i got my mini 3 on tuesday 17th may, yesterday (new firmware) in open countryside /on a hill i got 4km with the new rc , and 5km with the N1
Your violating the VLOS rules!
@@phroden .......🖕.... i had spotters 🛎end
You have right! RC - N1 is very good , with iPhone . 😉👍🏽
@@djidroneskathrinstudt1893 ....👍. N1 still better at moment , i should have waited for more reviews of the new rc but ya know how it is, i would have got mini 3 + N1 controller (save all the rebinding) if i'd have known 🤷♂ thanks for your comment
@@graemelaw5808 okay 😉
Do both RC's use OcuSync O3, or does only the new RC with the build in screen support OcuSync O3?
My Mini 3 Pro + RN-N1 starts having major connection issues at distance of only 1km. The test was performed in urban environment with me standing on the roof of a lone tall building. My old Mavic Pro (gen 1) performs the exact same test without issues. I'm a bit disappointed since the brand new Mini 3 is supposed to use a superior OccuSync 3.0 protocol
Ok I discovered the reason for poor range. The drone and RC transmit at lower power due to CE, which compared to FCC severely limits transmitter output power. This is activated automatically is you fly within the EU. This morning I managed to disable this limitation and repeated the test - the reception was PERFECT! So it's not that the Mini 3 Pro is a bad drone - it's the state regulations that are to blame!
I am tempting to get the Mini 3 pro for the size and longer battery time but I have already the Air 2 S ,or should I wait for the Air 3 S to get a better image and video quality ?? That's a tough question..:)))))
i like your video. I'm interested in where that airport is, and I live in Denmark and tried some tests. thanks
So from that great test, the RC N1 controller had a stronger signal even though they both got to the same range without losing connection. I have the Mini 2 that I'm selling and upgrading to the Mini 3 Pro, question is do I go for the new controller or the RC N1 controller? I live stream from the Mini 2 and I've heard that the new RC with the built in app doesn't have this feature, so by using the RC N1 I can still stream my smart phone screen capture.
if price is an issue RC-N1 if not RC. But i think they will end up selling the new RC. Ive brought the RC-N1 for now and if i ever want to will upgrade
@@Sonderax Yeah Ive bought the RC-N1 version as I too believe that the new RC will be available in the future, I will probably get one then if required.
I mean it's a great taste and your video is awesome as always but it'd ge great if it got atleast this range in normal conditions. We're gonna be in mountains, around trees, with radio interference, all kind of crap. This should go that far in those conditions and double that in almost perfect ideal conditions. But that's just me.
So how long did the battery last.
No one has talked yet about putting the phone inside of an FPV headset (like Google Cardboard) when routed through the Litchi app. This would allow the option to show the screen in a VR mode while blocking out all sunlight. I don't think Litchi has programmed for the Mini 3 Pro yet but I'm sure it's on the horizon. Let me know if anyone has heard!
Lol.😂😁. You look silly with that tin hat on.
Much better improvement on the long range flights. I think it could have went another 500m.👍
But overall The mini 3 did very great. 5 🌟 rating My friend Henrik.
Thank you so much and God bless you all everyday 🙏. Have a great weekend coming up
I read that the battery strength in the drone may also affect the connection range. Too bad you didn't have a 2nd battery for it!
nice! But it looks like，，multi-path effect makes the signal strength periodic variation, u can try to fly higher to get better signal while the drone continues fly forward
I only ever fly mine around 500m anyway so the RC with the screen I ordered is fine, I tend to do family videos and landscapes anyway.
24°C. That’s what we get during winter in the northern half of Australia. Anything under 20C is quite cold 🥶
Thank you for that if was fun and good to watch, I must be thinking wrong here I am still waiting for my Mini 3 pro, I have the Mini 2, So my question am I reading this wrong? with occusinc you dont need Wifi connection or Bluetooth connection ? when I first stated up the Mini 2 I could not connect to a screen so I pair the controller to my Tripltek 8 through wifi am I doing WRONG ? Thanks for sharing Ray K. UK. YNWA.
Looks like there is a black spot half way down the runway. Both controllers lost bars on the signal around the same area.
19:12 what is this information about RC Signal "moderately"? I can't see this information on my Dji Mini 3 pro
