    The reason many of us want to know the range is because many things are too far to reach by car or on foot. During my travels, I've come across remote islands, caves high up in mountains, etc. It's nice to get footage of places you can't reach on foot.
    I've also used it for exploring. During a jet ski trip, I was island hopping. I used the drone to travel to and around the next island north. It was incredible to be able to travel there, get videos, and return. I was able to see shallow waters, rocks, obstructions, etc.
    Anyway great footage. I'm looking to buy one of my own.

    @DMProductions Darren, thanks again for yet another great video!! I've seen these long distance test videos over the past year, mainly for the Mini 3 Pro, but this one is great for the Mini 4 Pro. I think there's one out for here in the U.S. for Mini 4, by the same content creator. My take is, yeah, they may be boring, but I think the first one I watched I was excited to see that the drone was able to make it back. The creator made it kind of interesting, a little dramatic, although I later tried to figure out how it could be. Maybe his voice, narration, approach or whatever, but it was interesting to me anyway. Yours was nice

  • @alainfloutier6466

    Good test. However don't be fooled by the "max distance" you can reach. I lost my Mini 4 PRO in the mountain within about 1500 m distance. The signal was blocked by the mountain "shadow". I went down on the other side and, instead of returning home automatically, the GPS signal was apparently lost as well (deep valley). Then the drone stopped, hovered for a few seconds and started to descent for landing. Fortunately the 360 obstacle avoidance worked and the drone landed without hitting trees or branches but....in a stream (it was a cleared area). Fortunately as well, the last GPS position was recorded and I used the find my drone feature to find it....after a serious hike. DJI analyzed the records and did not find the reason why the RTH did not work. So they replaced it under warranty (drone and battery were dead after staying in the water for about 24 hours). If you wish to fly longer distance, used the FCC version from Drone tweaks but buy as well a PLUS battery (at Drone nerds in the USA) in order to take benefit of the extended signal strenght of the FCC version.

    • @NaturMehr
      @NaturMehr 6 місяців тому

      Thanks, Darren, for testing this out and sharing 👍 I think the much better range of the Occusync 4 system is not only based on the external antenna of the new RC2 but also the "old" legs on the front arms returned to the M4p vs. the M3p carrying much better onboard antenna in the copter itself which seems to be very design related. Cheers from Bavaria and have a great weekend, Bernd 🎬

    Ok, I must be missing something. I got near 10,000 meters on my Mini3 pro over the ocean and might have made it to 10,000 or a little over had I not had become paranoid about return battery power on the longer battery plus.
    The Mini4 pro specs say it has a range of 20,000 meters. Just needs someone to invent bigger battery to make the round trip.
    I guess that maybe you don't get as much range over land.

    Please let me know differences between CE and FCC versions (have you seen any article stating two versions for real with proof like a model name (Like it was with Mini 1 CE vs. Mini FCC (only 5.8Ghz which I still own here in Bulgaria)) of the Mini 4 Pro, still wondering is there a real physical difference in the CE version in the US for the same strength of the signal, because it looks like when it switches the CE version of your drone into FCC mode, you are getting similar distance to US version of the drone (if there is such difference at all)

    Yeah, I'm not too crazy about doing those range tests on my drones, because I know for sure that they can go a long way.
    Also, it's not exciting to do, or flying to the max height? It's really boring to do. We all know that these drones are extremely great machines, and very capable. I like to fly as close as I can to the ground without hitting it of course, or going under bridges.
    That's an excellent place to fly Darren. I would love to fly anywhere similar to that. I live in the east coast of the USA in New Jersey, and we don't have anything similar to that.

    Are You flying using FCC, in the US? Not the EU and its limits?
    My experience flying far away with both the Mini 3 pro and the Mavic 3 pro, down to one, or two bars, the signal is completely lost when turning the drone around, aiming home. To avoid RTH kicking in flying backwards until more bars turn on has been used.
    Why is the drone camera not recording and showing what happen away there?

    But what about Interference? From the footage it looks like you did the Mini 3 test over habited land, whereas this test is in the open desert without any other signal sources. My only drone is a Mavic Air back from 2017, and it uses a way worse trasmission frequency and standard. As a result I experienced vast differences flying over towns vs. nature: There were times where I could not reach 400 m, and in open desert i flew ~2500 m. I wonder if that is still a concern for a test like this.

    In spite of the different environments, it's obvious that there is significantly better signal attenuation and strength there. Wait... this is CE mode? Im watching as I write. THAT is impressive as hell! Another reson to stay in standard mode is speed. DJI calculates the most efficient speeds for longest flight times, which translates to distance. On signal-rich environments, i get roughly 50% more distance from me, measured in a huge circle around me of 12 mile circumference - and the diameter is about 3.8 miles.

      It's normal, crowded area, lots and lots of wi-fi signals around it.
      Next time when you fly it try to put your phone on airplane mode, or turn it off, maybe this will help you.
      Off course, if you don't use the phone to fly with :)

    Dude that was epic, 17000 ft is a hell of a distance to fly ..... question I've just got a mini 2 se for Xmas and yes I have it already im a big kid 😂 have you ever done a range test on one b4 and if so how far did you get? The reason I've got this drone is your fault 😂😂😂 I saw the videos and photos you can get and I wanted to do the same plus I wanted it for my you tube channel itself as I do rc car videos where I send them suoer high and super far so I wanted to have drone footage of that too bit all your videos are brill and layer out perfectly so props to you 🤙🤘

    Ok here is the white elephant in the room question.... Can waypoints work if the drone goes beyond connection and will it complete its waypoint flight plan. If the waypoint plan flies from the drone or does it require full connection to the RC? I have been afraid to try, I don't want to lose it. :)

    • @vitalyaafaf
      @vitalyaafaf 4 місяці тому

      There are 3 settings for waypoint missions on RC signal loss:
      1) Return to home
      2) Land
      3) Continue the mission.
      You can set it up to continue the mission on signal loss, and set the last waypoint behavior to RTH. So the drone will be able to complete the waypoint flight and RTH, even if disconnected from RC.

    • @conorstewart2214
      @conorstewart2214 3 місяці тому +2

      That isn’t quite right, it is 25 mW under CE which is the same as any other 5.8 GHz transmitter like you would find on other drones, however most people ignore this anyway. With the FCC rules the maximum is 2 W. I got these figures from the spec sheet for the mini 4 pro, it lists its powers in different areas.
      The legal limit for transmitting on 5.8 GHz in the UK is 25 mW too.
      However it looks like we may get an increase now with new ofcom regulations if you get an amateur radio license, it may up the limit to 500 mW but we need someone to clarify this.

    Darren, since when will the signal be the same between rural and urban! You should use the same location in such a test. In urban location you have too many distractions for electronics.
    Not that you didn't know that or you didn't think of that! For the complete novice it's baffling but you're not. Other guys have done 11000m already with the Pro 3 and then he dropped it like 4 k's short on the return!

    Могу вас заверить,что на этой локации вы могли бы улететь намно дальше.Во первых поднимаем дрон ещё выше,во вторых перестаём ориентироваться по зелёному кружочку со стрелкой,который в принципе показывает направление антенны,Обратите внимание это утверждение верно,если обои антенны расположены строго пропоционально относительно пульта.Имеет значение и как направлены эти антенны.Короче,если вы преодолели уже 3 км.,то обои антенны должны стоять строго перпендикулярно земле для наилучшего сигнала,даже если вы уже подняли его на 500м.в высоту.Короче,представляем сигнал с антенны в виде веера,где наилучший сигнал будет по центру веера.Помним также,что такие антенны узконаправлены с ограниченным распределением по вертикали и горизонтали.После 5км.,начинаем крутить пульт влево или вправо и смотрим на качество сигнала.Итак на таком расстоянии обе антенны должны быть строго перпендикулярны земле,далее поворачиваем пульт влево или вправо,экспериментируем.Есть такая вещь магнитные силовые линии земли,они-то и влияют на прямолинейность сигнала пульта,это зависит от местности,где-то сигнал может загибаться дугой.Я на своём мини 2 также как вы начинал экспериментировать и теперь уже с легкостью летаю на 8-9 км., в одну сторону на усиленной акб.Но это ни предел,будем юзать более усиленные акб.И это без всяких бустов и т.д.,Частота 2.4,режим СЕ.Чего и вам желаю.Успехов вам.

    Why have obstacle avoidance switched on doing a range test ? That's eating into the battery life straight away.
    You didn't use cruise control during flight. And you never took the drone as high as possible which would have improved transmission a lot better. Try again mate.
