I can tell you one thing that's a fact the MAVIC AIR 2 Burns a hell of a lot more battery than most drones in SPORT MODE!!!
Most people are lucky to get 15 minutes in sport mode Flying all over the place..
YOU SHOULD BE USING NORMAL MODE FOR RANGE TESTS.. YOU WILL SAVE A LOT MORE BATTERY!!
Nice area! From the range tests I've seen, the vast majority of them are done in standard speed mode, not Sport mode and the range seems to increase a lot. Sport mode kills the battery crazy fast so you can't go as far. Nice job.
7200 meters is the farthest I've ever been with my Mavic Air 2. I avoid going more than 6000 meters, because going so far is risky.
A tip: you can watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies recently.
@Kasen Ronin yup, have been watching on Flixzone for since december myself =)
@Kasen Ronin yup, have been watching on flixzone for since november myself :)
@@kasenronin7009 Don't lie. You don't have a girlfriend.
@@megabojan1993 No he does , but she's at the shop for repairs.
You should have someone drive it out to 10 km. Put it in line of sight, and see if you can connect to the drone. Be even better if you flew it back to yourself!
I wonder why no one has done that yet
10 km signal range and not flight range, the battery lasts a maximum of 8 km.
yes i agree its battery power but something many dont understand is the batteries are lithium ion. Running lower than 30% destroys the cells inside the battery, which affects its running time in the long term. Thats why these drones have auto return to home at a certain percentage mine is return on 40% power, also you should never store batteries at 100% charge, that also ruins the cells inside. My tip is use a battery and land on 30% then DONT charge until you want to fly again. My batteries have a 40 min usage time, landing on 30% gets me 30 mins flight time, i have 3 batteries so can get 90 mins flying time. So look after your batteries and buy extra ones for more flying time rather than ruining a battery :-)
Excellent video buddy. This is slowly turning into my favorite bird. I love love LOVE IT.. it's AWESOME here in the city of PHILADELPHIA. YaHOOOOOOOOOOO

You enthusiasm is contagious bro. Keep on going. We need those urban range tests! :)
Hey I'm in philly too and watch your stuff. Keep up the good work.
You live in such a beautiful area. Thanks for sharing. I get my drone in a couple of days.
Came here for a range test, stayed for the scenery, awesome vid!
Man, I wish I lived this close to Garden of the Gods. Not as many cool places to fly mine in Indianapolis! Dope video though! Hype to see the rest of the series.
Some interesting geology out there. My MA2 arrives today.
how long did it take for your MA2 to ship?!
Ahhhh! Beautiful Colorado Springs. Wish I still lived there. Perfect area to fly your drone.
I like the landscape around. Signal range test also good.
This is awesome, but why is my Mavic Air 2 barely hitting 1 mile distance-wise before the signal blanks out? How are you able to fly so far with such a clear signal? Any tips would be appreciated 😊
Same. Even less for me
Comes down to location and height. I had mine out to 4km today over the ocean at a height of 30m in sports mode. I could have gone further because I had plenty of battery left, but chickened out. I might try further tomorrow. I noticed he had his drone at 150m high which would seem to give better reception. Other radio interference won't help either.
Late to the party on this one but with mine I find that height, physical objects between myself and the drone as well as local WiFi interference all play a huge part in range and signal strength/quality. When I fly in a remote location, I find that my signal and controller video stability are perfect up to at least 3km
Man! You live in an amazing place.
I use pop wallet with pop socket. The pop wallet clips in nicely to the handle. Holds about 3 cards. Just encase you are interested in that.
I live in a area with trees and about a mile and a half is the max I can get.
Same, I think these long distance tests happen in higher elevation so you get a clear line of radio communiction.
Damn! Just how I like my videos, straight and to the point!
All the best from the far north of New Zealand and yes, the Mavic Air 2 ROCKS!!!
Dont use sport mode
I can’t wait for Mavic air 2
Try it in P mode and you will probably get further.
What is that
Mac Klenk Purchase mode. 😉
DANG couldn’t ask for a more perfect spot to live to test your drone during quarantine!! cheers from Denver! :)
5000m there 5k back isn’t that 10k Meters like it says otherwise 10k there and back would be 20k and that’s not on the box
Hi, thanks for the video. I hardly ever reach distances of 2000 meters. I sent mine in for repair in The Netherlands (I live in France) and got it back yesterday. Today, I did a range test and got 3700m. I’m fine with that but am very puzzled when I see many other videos where the Air 2 reaches close to 10k meters. I’ve been to various places in the world with little RF interference but still never achieve distances near 4K meters. I don’t understand why my drone fails to reach such distances even with solid battery life.
Got to do the test at the ocean!
Very bad range for Ocusync 2,0 !!! Where is 6,0 km in CE and 10 km in FCC.
Dji shame on You !!!
My old mavic 2 zoom CE in perfect terrain was have no problem with 6 km... with full Connect
Iwas windy during the test and
Danny stated in the video the battery was the limiting factor and not Ocusync. The Fly app is very conservative on when to trigger RTH based on remaining battery level and distance from Home Point.
@@mark_barrentine BTW mavic 2 have better link than mavic air 2.
Dji say conversly...
I hate you for living in such a beautiful place!!!! Just kidding great flight!
And what is the range of quick shoots.
Great video . How awesome to have the Garden of the Gods close to your house. The footage was awesome. Wished the batteries lasted longer. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome Flight! That is near Red Rocks amphitiatre in Colorado?
Clean quality video
Nice video... only thing I would change is the playing music while you are talking. It's a little distracting.
You need the 5.8ghz Yagi-uda antenna. With normal mode. Easy 6km+
What state is that ? Footage & scenery look wild .
Colorado
I may head back to Colo Springs in a few years, how are drone laws and restrictions in that heavy military area?
Sport mode is completely counter productive in this test
I have one i love it
wait what are the black and white lines at the top right of the screen
Great video! I'd love one but right now my bank account says otherwise...guess i'll have stick to my mini which is also a great little bit of kit :)
I’d like to buy a drone- what are you using?
I’ve gotten around 26,000 feet with the air2 21,000 withe Air2s 16,000 feet with the mini 2 my fimi 2022 was 26,000 feet and the mavic 3 was a whopping 36,000 feet all in normal mode
i have mi drone 4k the range in mi is 4km away but if there is controler with bigger antenas for mi drone in aliexpres and it's says with those u can go 6km away but i like mavic air 2 cuz it's samller faster and u have sensors
Good review. I’ve tested mine today and it only went 500M before signal dropped out and it wouldn’t go any further. However my Pro does. Is there settings that needs to be adjusted
YES IN YOUR SETTING CHANGE THE SETTING TO UNLIMITED DISTANCE AND ALTITUDE TO MAX
Were you at 400ft altitude during this. It makes a huge difference.
Do test in normal mode. Will get further because it won’t eat battery.
did you use nd filters
I have a lot of trees. Is that’s what stopping me from going far? I go just over half a mile and it loses signal
I was going to use mine when I go camping. Are you using a mavic air 2?
Isn't that about 6000 feet above sea level? Could that possibly have an effect?
Yes. Air thinner, less lift, motors need to work harder.
Yes definitely. I’m sure down at sea level the battery would last longer
i like the fact that you are on the roof
Come to 🇲🇻🇲🇻
How r u not getting 4 miles?
Great vídeo. Nice flight 👍
Have great day my friend.
I think there's something wrong with your drone, it drains the battery life like CRAZY..
I have mine in normal mode and I can do 14.1 km no issues at all
What is the name of the place where you live? I really like those mountains!!!!
Colorado Springs, Colorado area
Rockin the Pop Socket! Thanks dude, dig the video.
Never go anywhere without it haha
Awesome view and informative, thanks for sharing I subscribe to you thanks again 😎
Thanks for the sub!
Doing a range test around terrain like that will introduce interference like multi-path.
For a clean test, get away from the RF clutter of WiFi’s and cell towers and stay away from that kind of terrain.
The test is still valid for people who want to fly in semi populated area.
The antenna looks like patch style.so the signal is transmitted forward from the top kinda directional...right or wrong?
Great video! But I have issues with the DJI Fly app, sometimes when I hit the record button, it shows that it’s recording. But by the time I’m done with my drone, I check what I “recorded” and nothing was recorded. WTF!
Press the stop recording, and then turn the drone off. If you don't, it won't finalise the recording.
Can you land it around 2km away and put it back up?
I want to deliver keys from work, to storage!!
I got 5 miles with my Phantom 4 years ago . How is going 3 miles any kind of a range test ?
it does way mor distance when in normal mode. sport mode depletes the battery more fastly than normal mode.. just saying..
Im always dreaming to have drone😊.
Greating from philippines.like watching your view.
Hi I just bought the mavic air 2 I'm a bit worried don't know if there could be something wrong with it any idea? Immediately get interference. Seems my mavic mini went further. Sometimes.
I will lose video immediately but the drones continues to fly forward without video but can see the drone flying on the gps map. Any help would be great.
I'm sure there is a lot of wifi in my area but as soon as I launch I start getting some choppy video.
Please allow myself to introduce myself *cue Austin Powers*
Thanks for the post! I live in the area too and am loving my A2! Can you comment to flying over G of G? I know you can’t take off from within but I assume you can fly over from outside of?
As long as you launch from outside and stay within line of site and under 400ft technically you're good to go
@@Mcgeee thanks for taking the time to reply. Your work is stunning!
Time flying with 4K/60fps video 20 min.
Why did you put it in sport mode
Very poor choice area to test. How many active roadways did you cross and at what point did you lose visual line of sight?
It would be cool to try to not return the drone and see how far it makes it
I had the SG907 GPS Drone and it was good until today when it just flew away :( Is this drone worth the price really?. And can the cam move around in all directions?
Saw your video on the Mavic Air 2 range test. Just curious as to where you live? great job..
mine has only 30 meters high and 50 meters distance...yyyy?????
Beautiful footage and great range test👍👍👍 Thank you for sharing🌈
That is a beautiful area and WOW the range on the Mavic Air 2 is amazing! Watched another video and someone was able to make it 5 miles out and still had just a little battery left in the tank, not much tho.
I have one on order, can't wait! Will beat the h*** out of my Skydio 2's. 750 feet range! Might as well put a GoPro on a stick with the skydios.
brrrooo super sick views from your rooftop !
It's not about flying far away it's about knowing if you got what you paid for...
And the range teston the mavic air to all over the Internet when it's in a congested area is not very good doesn't even do as good as my original mavic pro in some cases where I live.
The mavic pro lift up to everything they said about it including the range!!!
The mavic air to their best second-generation ocusync 2.0 ( what they bragged about one of their selling points )
Does not do as well as the original mavic pro.. THAT IS A GROSS DISPLAY OF FALSE ADVERTISING!!
bro i live in south florida,no matter where I go I can get past 2k FEET..help me please
I have tried two new Mavic Air 2's from my home and the farther I can get them is about 1.8 km (1.2 miles). After that I lose signal and the drone auto returns to home. I am by the sea, perfect weather conditions and no obstructions. Why can this be? I am very keen to get to a spot about 4 km away
I think urs just has an issue with it, return it and get another
The mavic air 2 with Ocusync 2.0 is the best I got 27,000 feet
If you flew the other direction w the direction of wind maybe more
If you lose signal, does it automatically fly back to the location it took off from?
Yes it does :)
Jolie vol ,toujours un plaisirs à regarder tes vidéo ....💪🚀🕹🤩
So basically I live in the city And I try to push my air 2 pretty far but no good results.. But otherwise I love it is my 1st drone
How is everyone able to go so far I can’t even go 0.3 miles away
Ce or Fcc ?
Most likely FCC.
I expecting delivery Monday
.
I can't go past 1200 feet with my Air 2 because I get a loss of signal warning and it starts coming Home on it's own! WTF? 1,200 feet! They need to send me a controller or drone that can do better than that!
great video !! 👏👏👏
That was cool….. Still got 5000M with no problem! I bet it could go about 10,000M with a better battery if only they made one cause its obviously pointless to go the far if the damn thing cant make it for lack of power!! But good stuff man.
I know this comment is 3 years old but you can do battery mods for these drones for way more flight time
Sport mode kills ur battery
Dude what state is this ? Colorado ?
I managed 9.5 km each way
I’ve gone 3.5 miles away from me
Awesome
Man they just lied about it about 50% more.......from 10k to 5k
5:08 what is that red error message that appears on the center bottom of the DJI Fly app?
It almost looks like a micro SD with a slash through it but can't quite tell on my phone
Garbage, sports mode uses way more battery. With Mavic drones there's an ideal cruising speed which is more efficient than hovering.
BTW you should check wind before you take off not when your on the way back. That's how you lose drones.
Nice but don’t play big brother telling people they have reason to be flying the range. That is none of your business.
Goes way further bro
simply put,you just dont have the balls to push this sexy bird to its limits
Everything about this video was good except it was in meters.. wtf is a meter?
