Wow that was incredible! That really is in a different league. You went 3 miles out and came back and landed perfectly. Watching this was like I was there. Thank you.
Cyrex Mavic uses Ocusync to transmit control and video via 2.8, not same as Lightbridge but similar to internet wifi, yes live video stream to tablet. For technical specs you need to go to DJI website
I flew mine 1.2 miles and tried landing it at a desired spot, but when I got down so low, it lost signal and Return-to-Home kicked in and it came right back. So... it was scary that I lost signal but awesome seeing how good the RTH worked. The video is on my channel titled "DJI Mavic Pro / Range Test (1.2 Mile Flight!).
Mine arrives tomorrow!!! That range is incredible especially at that frequency and with you on the ground. There must be all kinds of obstacles between you and the drone at 3 miles out!
Hi Tony....sadly no Walmart but I get my fix every year or so when we visit the good 'ol USA. We do have Costco here but absolutely no Mavics yet. Regards my friend Noel
I’m a first time magic pro owner Do range extenders work ? Not to push limits but to be extra safe and not lose connection. Thank you for a great video
Yes they work. I've tried Titan on my Mavic. Look at commandcase.com But, the stock Mavic already has good range, better than an Inspire 2. Depends on where you do most of your flying and whether you're having signal problems, otherwise I'd stay with stock
Drone Videos my 1st flight was in my yard & in beginner mode went up to its max height and after about 2 minutes it flew away I ran down the street and finally go a hold of it and flew it back. Sweaty palms feet and torso WTH!!!
Great Range Test..That is the best I have seen thus far..Good thing you used sport mode to get out there faster..I was really suprised at the signal strength because I have watched other videos that lost alot of signal at just 1 mile.
I ordered my Mavic yesterday. I cannot wait!! There are old gold and garnet mines tucked into the mountains above Palm springs California. I'm going to use my mavic to find them along with ancient native american sites. Very useful tool that will save me a lot of hiking that's unneeded!! Watch for my videos of the sites I find!
Not Sure if Anyone mentioned this but don't forget that there may have been a tail wind leaving and a headwind coming back and that will increase the ground speed going away but decrease the ground speed coming back. I am sure the battery and distance calculation from DJI may be in a no wind condition. Its common Aviation. It may have been a calm wind on the ground but I guarantee it was not a calm wind above the tree line. FYI. This will throw the battery calculation to get home off and you may end up running out of battery before you land.
Wow great demo and distance. I guessed you would have 15 percent battery left when you were still mile and half out lol..Good job. Happy Flying !! GrampaKenCanada
Great Test Tony, hey had a question, how did you get the Avegant Glyph to work with the Mavic Pro, ... did you use them on the test flight... what cables did you uses, I have not received my Mavic, should be here soon ( SO THEY SAY )... but I have a pair of Avegant Glyph, and i was looking at the FPV's that DJI has, but I like to use my Avegant Glyph, thanks for you help and answering my quest.. there again.. GREAT TEST FLIGHT !!!!
Thanks Tony, what is the name and model of that tablet you connect your Avegant Glyph, I didn't see that listed in the video link you sent me. thanks again for your help
Good day to you Tony. Me and my friend are just about to pre order the DJI Mavic Pro. I see you used a small GPS on the drone. Is the small picture on the right bottom of the screen is that the small GPS Tracker or is that part of the DJI Tracking system. Best Regards Michael
Michael Van Alphen the tracker, Trackimo, does not interface with the dji app. You access the gps tracking map provided by the Trackimo through a separate app on your phone, tablet, computer, etc. The location signal from the Trackimo can be accessed even if the drone gps and signal fails, drone flies away…
Good job and you have more guts than I have. I've gone way out there but no where near that far but I fly over recently cleared water district land to the east of me when attempting distance runs so it's easier to find. My Mavic has been shipped and due in 7-10 days so my P3A will be retiring I hope along side my P2. I'm hoping Flytrex will come up with an adapter for the Mavic as it saved me once already with the P2 when it took off, throttle wide open, on me for some unknown reason. Led me right to it. It was pretty much destroyed but the GoPro 3+ Black was undamaged. Glad to see you didn't violate any altitude restrictions on you record attempted flight. I did notice the spotters you had along the route. :)
I originally ordered on Oct. 15th at Amazon through the storefront for "Koonst" or something like that. Then they sent an email that DJI had delayed the shipment to Dec. I canceled that order. So I started looking around for other vendors on Amazon on Nov. 3 and just happened to come across one that had 2 left with shipping in 2 days. In 2 days I got a notice that it had shipped and expected delivery was Nov. 5th to Nov. 15th. Both orders were for the "Combo" package. When I checked the same page an hour later there was no more available until Dec. 15th. I think I was just lucky to come across that vendor on Amazon at the right time. However, they didn't issue a tracking number even though they say it shipped. So we will see.
I've never figured out how Amazon pops up different vendors for the same product. Sometimes it says to click for other suppliers but DJI products don't seem to do that. So try searching for other vendors randomly and maybe you can find one that has them in stock. From the Mavic Owners Forum they are saying the "combo" packages are delayed till 12/15 so many are just ordering the Mavic only from different suppliers. Try Best Buy too. They seem to keep track of how many are in stock and when new shipments are coming and they are usually correct according to reviews. I was just lucky that a different vendor popped up who had 2 in stock. It could have been because someone else cancelled. A lot of that is going on and frees one or two up. I buy through Amazon because I've never had a problem returning ANYTHING. You just need to be firm and they give way. :)
Hi Tony Thanks for the video. I have had my MAVIC for about a week now and love it. My question is, What goggles are those you are using. in the beginning of the video, you mention putting them on while you where setting up to take off. You quickly see them laying on the curb pre flight. What 3rd party goggles work with the Mavic.
Thanks for the trip. I don't believe I would have the guts to take a flight that far away. I have lost a drone before and it is an expensive lesson. During a good portion of your trip the camera wasn't level. Are you finding you have to recalibrate the gimble often?
JAY STATON I'm not too particular with my crooked horizon, abd haven't bothered with calibrating the gimbal but I do sometimes hold the C2 button and turn the right dial to straighten it up some. Thanks for your comments!
Niset Khmer Ya, but it didn't affect on board gps. Out of caution I have moved it to front over camera. Didn't want to bugger up all my batteries, but it should also be ok there
Great job; looks like that pretty much answers the "How far?" question for the Mavic Pro. Did you have emergency landing sites planned or just went for it?
Hey Tony, great work, really enjoyed seeing South Carolina from the air! Where did you get that GPS tracker module, and what is it called? Regards, Adrian
Hi Tony, congratulation,.how did you connected glasses fpv to Mavic, with the hdmi output of the tablet ? which is the model of tablet that you are using?
I wonder how much additional flight time we could get by reducing speed to 35 MPH? kinda finding the most efficient speed/flight time for long range missions
Brandon Yancey no app, just plugged up to my tablets hdmi, see ua-cam.com/video/MX5kak0q45w/v-deo.html The Glyphs support headtracking, but no use with Mavic, camera doesn't pan, only tilts. I've tried headtracking with my Inspire, didn't work reliably and not worth the aggravation
The Inspire pan & tilt headtracking works just fine on my setup..... but the app, Cloudlight FPV, always freezes after a few minutes. I need to find a stable app that doesn't freeze...
Brandon Yancey I don't think it's the app, it worked fine on the bench for me, but would crash when using it, using Litchi or Go app. Tried several different types of usb splitters, finally gave up. Like the Glyphs otherwise
For maximum range fly at about 25mph anything more is inefficient. Also the pilot in this vid flew straight up then hovered before setting off, that wasted power and reduced range.

Nice flight, Main thing is you made it back
So could you fly the Mavic say 2 miles land it at a friends house then take off from their return back to you?
Hello. Could you please tell me how can I fly mine that far. Break it down for me please sir
Wow that was incredible! That really is in a different league. You went 3 miles out and came back and landed perfectly. Watching this was like I was there. Thank you.
i just unboxed mine! you cant contain the excitement! nothing beats the feeling of getting your first mavic pro
Great signal at 5km away!!! Can't wait to have one!!
Michele Vagnetti wie viel km hat des insgesamt Reichweite ich versteh den nicht ganz
Michele Vagnetti 17200 feet is only 3.25 miles
17200 ft = 3.26 m = 5.24 km
Michele Vagnetti was it controlled with wi-fi and live video stream to phone???

Outstanding video and flight. Thanks so much for posting! I've been waiting for some real life, long range Mavic tests.
Well, Congratulations Tony because you and Michael Kincaid are the only ones going that far testing the range of MP ,great job !
Fidelito in South Florida 😎👍

I don't know about that, theres a guy in florida that uses a mavic to chase cruise ships, he goes out pretty far.
Do you have a UA-cam link?

Como não deixar um grande like no canal do amigo belas imagens continue assim meu amigo o que depende mim estamos juntos
Thanks! I was wondering if it would run out of battery before range. Amazing little drone, cant wait to get my hands on one!
Mine arrives tomorrow!!!
That range is incredible especially at that frequency and with you on the ground. There must be all kinds of obstacles between you and the drone at 3 miles out!
Great video Tony!
Awesome video! Towards the end, I didn't breathe until you landed. Way to press the envelope!
This video make me want to have it now
You can't have it now the soonest would be in January 2017
richardoky why took so long?
They are shipping now.
Should get mine today (fingers crossed)
*see price*no thank you
Fantastic safe flight thumbs up 👍
come check out my Solo 3DR video, it flew 40,000 foot.
Great test of the battery and range! Very informative. I ordered the Mavic too. It's nice to see its real world capabilities.

My son just got his. I have been flying it. Since I fly racing drones I was a little skeptical about the range so your range test is interesting.

Awesome flight last few seconds had me on edge. LoL well Well Done. Subbed!
Wow this is incredible just purchased mine today looking forward to starting to learn !
It is realy awsome drone, Thank's for sharing
This s the BEST video I have seen yet! I'm looking getting a drone and this was part of my educational lesson thanks!
Well done brother. Great flight! Now lets get that thing modified and out to double that distance.
Thanks for the reply, Tony. I'll check into it.
Gostei do brinquedo... Parabéns pelo vídeo.
So excited to get my new Mavic for Christmas!
Wow great demo and distance. I guessed you would have 15 percent battery left when you were still mile and half out lol..Good job. Happy Flying !! GrampaKenCanada
Good test of the Mavics range.
Great stuff... I would have been getting really nervous below 25%... Very helpful...
Thanks for sharing Tony! Excellent demonstration!
Nice one buddy
AWESOME VIDEO TONY!!!!
Great movie and tutorial, thank you. What was the music you used too?
Peter Hensley thanks. Music was Bright Light by Bernard Koch
That was awesome mate thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!
Great video, thanks so much. Looking forward to buying one of these, my first drone.
come check out my Solo 3Dr video, it flew 40,000 foot.
Thanks Tony, have you tried your Headplays with it ? Great vids.
DrDepth89 not yet, I hate wearing glasses. I did try the Cinimizer but still like Glyphs best
Absolutely incredible. Excellent video and a very daring pilot.
Nice video, hover your mouse over the videos timeline (red loading bar) for a nice kind of timelapse VERY cool :))
Wow!!! Unbelievable.
I'm sure you know this, but if you tap the screen, the Mavic will focus sharpening the picture
Taking off from Walmart!! You sir are an Inspiration
thank you so much for risking ur drone on the test ! must be heart beating haha
thats so far wow awesome, cant wait to get mine
Good range
0:35 can you say what is that and what is working for ?
Great Test Tony, hey had a question, how did you get the Avegant Glyph to work with the Mavic Pro, ... did you use them on the test flight... what cables did you uses, I have not received my Mavic, should be here soon ( SO THEY SAY )... but I have a pair of Avegant Glyph, and i was looking at the FPV's that DJI has, but I like to use my Avegant Glyph, thanks for you help and answering my quest.. there again..

What date you ordered?.
Jerry Ellis On September 27 as soon as I could get on DJI website

What was that think where can i buy that tracker
ALKUKES trackimo.com/
Did you consider 50gr tracker weight and shorter flight time?
where can I buy the tracker you used ?
Render Forest trackimo.com
Or did you buy your tracking device and how does it work?
Wow, that is awesome! Thanks for the video.
nossa muito bom!
Nice video... What goggle using?
Hi Tony Thanks for the video. I have had my MAVIC for about a week now and love it. My question is, What goggles are those you are using. in the beginning of the video, you mention putting them on while you where setting up to take off.

Brian Taylor I used the Avagant Glyphs with the hdmi output from my Nvidia Shield tablet. See

With fuel we use the one third rule. A third out, a third back. And a spare third for safety.
Thanks for the trip. I don't believe I would have the guts to take a flight that far away. I have lost a drone before and it is an expensive lesson. During a good portion of your trip the camera wasn't level. Are you finding you have to recalibrate the gimble often?

Eddi Nice Avegant Glyphs shop.avegant.com/? and Trackimo
trackimo.com/gps-drone-tracker/
Thank you Tony,
Great test guess that's about the range with that battery seems to have more range than battery or all the range you will ever need.
Great piloting skills!
You put the Trakimo on top of the GPS. I would it on the battery.
Niset Khmer Ya, but it didn't affect on board gps. Out of caution I have moved it to front over camera. Didn't want to bugger up all my batteries, but it should also be ok there
WHERE DO YOU LIVE TO BE ABLE TO GET THAT MANY
My question is about your trackimo do you need cell service to use it?
Great job; looks like that pretty much answers the "How far?" question for the Mavic Pro. Did you have emergency landing sites planned or just went for it?
CalifOC1977 just went for it, seat of pants

Hi Tony, congratulation,.how did you connected glasses fpv to Mavic, with the hdmi output of the tablet ?
which is the model of tablet that you are using?
Alberto Albertini yes, hooked to hdmi of my Nvidia Shield. See
ua-cam.com/video/MX5kak0q45w/v-deo.html
Ok, thanks Tony.The hdmi output on k1 tablet you can set to 1280 x 720 ? for use with Fatshark dominator HD v2 glasses?
Thank you for the video. Question for you. Why did you chose a Mavic over the Phantom?
cnbsdad size, portability. I also have a P4, M100, I1, I2, Spark. For the money, Mavic is the best all around.
"Sweaty Palms" I laughed so hard - Just got mine and I'm still scared to let it get outside of my yard
Nice video Tony.
Wow.. The best drone
Wao. Great flight!! Looking forward to getting my mavic pro for in a couple of weeks.
Keep it up buddy doing good job screw the drone police.
I wonder how much additional flight time we could get by reducing speed to 35 MPH? kinda finding the most efficient speed/flight time for long range missions
Danm near had to do a little hikin' didn't ya, how sweaty was that?
great...................................
Excellent 5.2km is excellent so the battery is the limitation
I get the same with my P4
that music was so damn relaxing and fucking soothing I loved it so I subscribed and your videos are very nice;);););)
What a suspense😬👏
really Great flight, very goog signal at five km, can you tell me more about de gps, where can I found It, the name or other things ..please..
Great video Tony. What app do you use with your goggles? Does the app have head tracking? Thanks
Brandon Yancey no app, just plugged up to my tablets hdmi, see
ua-cam.com/video/MX5kak0q45w/v-deo.html
The Glyphs support headtracking, but no use with Mavic, camera doesn't pan, only tilts. I've tried headtracking with my Inspire, didn't work reliably and not worth the aggravation
The Inspire pan & tilt headtracking works just fine on my setup..... but the app, Cloudlight FPV, always freezes after a few minutes. I need to find a stable app that doesn't freeze...
Brandon Yancey I don't think it's the app, it worked fine on the bench for me, but would crash when using it, using Litchi or Go app. Tried several different types of usb splitters, finally gave up. Like the Glyphs otherwise
Good concept but by time Mavic pro goes 4.3 miles there won't be enough battery to RTH ie return to take off point
L33 BR4C3Y Drone were carrying tracker.
what's carry a tracker got 2 do with what I said
For maximum range fly at about 25mph anything more is inefficient. Also the pilot in this vid flew straight up then hovered before setting off, that wasted power and reduced range.
Yup! Guy in the UK did 7.1km using aroung 40kph/ 25mph.......
this tracking device where to buy it?
alcy2k www.trackimo.com
very nice testing but feel so danger of your mavic haha
