The Air 2S flies miles at the salt flats until it’s out of battery. There’s no interference at the salt flats. The battery is the limit on every drone there.
Air 2s can fly out the same distance as the Air 3?
@@InvincibleStormFilmshardly…🤣
@@Al-Kwadrone maybe it can.
@@InvincibleStormFilmsIt can't, less battery and slower speed so that math just does not add up!
@@InvincibleStormFilms Nope, it can't. I was in the city and it had MUCH better penetration than the Air 2s. It was even better than the Mavic 3.
Signal strength is amazing..Impressive drone.
Can't wait to fly this bird lol..
Nice range test Billy the most safe and effective range test i've EVER watched.
Great range test, this drone went where no drone has gone before. I loved the location, very impressive results. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! This is the exact kind of range test i have been looking for. Please do this range test for all your drones going forward.
Great test! Really appreciated the thorough explanation :) Nice location choice too!
Daaaaaaaamn. This is as usual coming from you Billy, very informative, great seeing where OcuSync has came in term of its performance from one to now. Now you know flying in an urban environment will be this much better 🙏🏾
awesome job love how you guys did the test! I just received mine yesterday had a chance to test it out and it is just so amazing how this thing fly's i was in 20mph winds and had no issues! Taking it out again tonight to try the low light capabilities cant wait!
fantastic drone . gunna have to get one of these babies ,thanks for the video billy and team.
Amazing Billy nice video thank you for sharing man 💯
I just ordered an Air 3 and this video was AWESOME! Thanks.
I cant get enough of Drone Range tests!! This one in particular Billy is very entertaining! Usually its hard to get your viewers completely focus on the entire content however you did a great jog here!
DJI- No Drone in the market comes close to the flight tech, & features! Best of the best despite some small limitations (battery life)
Billy- please do more range tests like these (as you stated in the video) you keep finding these breathtaking amazing locations great job!
Amazing Range Test, Billy. The best ever. Awesome location too. Wow you all did a great job. Kudos to you all. Well done!!!
Wow! O4 is awesome! Thanks for this test Billy
Great video, as always! I have to admit that was very impressive!
PERFECT place for THIS test Billy. Well done!..
Super cool you were able to do this test in a place like that, but also glad I’m not the only person who spent the entire video wondering why you ran it at top speed, which dramatically decreases battery life. DJI’s figures are based on mid-speed around 19mph. All forms of motion require exponentially more energy as you increase speeds.
Thats the best test i've seen ! Thx guys !
Omg 😳 wow that’s awesome gotta get one of these asap!! Thanks for doing this for us !!!
Pretty freakin cool range test BK. Air 3 is on my shortlist for my next drone.
Very good test and video Billy.
Very cool. Thanks for posting!
Range test on a salt flats is OK to promote a feature that doesn't exist in the real world. I recently flew a Matrice 300 where we lost RC signal at 1.2 km. We left it on the launch platform and drove a vehicle away. Once we were beyond BVLOS we lost signal. Shortest LOS was 550m, furthest was 1.2km
Wow!! Very impressive!!! Mine should be here Monday. Can’t wait to fly it!!!
Team Mirrored Sunglasses with THE range test. Quite impressive! Thanks Billy.
Best distance video i've ever seen thanks kyle
I am so glad to see the improved range and connectivity with DJI!
Great range test Billy. Truly hoping that translates into better penetration flying much closer through the mountains.
Great test! Thank you.
Super cool test and the flats are the perfect test grounds for this.
Been watching a lot of vids but after seeing this can't wait to get mine in the air if it ever stops raining.
Eu tava esperando por esse teste. Top demais
Wow, very cool, Billy! Now the salt flats would be an excellent location for a range test. You did an excellent job in producing this range test legally! Nicely Done!
Great test Billy. You could have even squeezed out a little more range by flying a little slower like at maybe 25 mph and a little higher as you said. But great test, epic drone
Awesome Video, Thanks For The Great Share. In addition Billy We Need The Original DJI FPV And The Goggles 2, Performance Video.
Please compare the Noise levels of Air 3, Mini 3 Pro, Air 2S and Mavic 3 Cine. That should be interesting for someone who gets annoyed by the noise of these drones and the attention they receive whenever they go up in the air 😉😎
😮😮 That was awesome Billy 👌
Great video as usual, thought about the Mavic 3 pro but this is definitely more my style!
Btw Loved the shades, what’s the brand??🔥
Excellent Billy.
Great video. Great test. Thanks so much. I just got the Air 3 with the RC-N2 controller - It is amazing. I use my 12.9 inch iPad Pro as the screen :). I also have the Mini 3 Pro and I started on the Mini 2. The Air 3 is definitely worth upgrading to.
Pretty Pretty cool, it looks like a neat place as well. Have a great day!
DJI’s commitment to improve on their products is nothing short of admirable. I’m glad to have bought into the brand. No regrets👍👍😄
Lets just hope they’re making the eq backwards compatible so we wont get heaps of fucking e-waste.
@IdleWorker Why wouldn't you just continue to use your controllers on the drones you purchased the fucking things for? There's zero gain using an O4 controller on an O3 done.
Meanwhile the competition
..... yikes they are just left on the dust
Minimal incremental updates. They've gone full Apple.
I like DJI, but they're stagnant compared to 2018.
SKydio and Autel are catching up and I can't wait for this competition. It'll get dji's head out from its ass.
@@londenard because why the fuck would I need 2 expensive ass controllers when one is quite enough eh?
Great test. I am glad someone has tried this and do it safely so I don't need to do it myself
Brilliant crew mesmerising watch from Uk take care.
Great video and amazing scenery! A few observations:
- This is a great location for a repeatable range test but important to mention: the flats, with little-to-no radio interference certainly represents a "best case" range test - perhaps somewhat mitigated by the altitude. It certainly goes a long way to demonstrate battery is going to limit range in most cases.
- When the right turn is executed at about 10mi the the antennas are directed in a less ideal bearing to the pilot which probably explains the corresponding signal degradation. In the end the battery was the limiting factor so this is a minor point.
..yep. Exactly. The antenna’s reception was interrupted by the COURSE CHANGE.
Awesome I can't wait to watch this video even though I do not have a DJI product.
I still fly my
Yuneec TY. H 480
I think you may have lost signal at the end because you lost line-of-sight with the drone due to the earth's curvature.
Location, location, location. Thats what really makes these flight distances possible. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I'm still flying thr mini 2 and still loving it. I mainly fly betaflight quads. But I'm starting to get into photography a bit more. And although the mini 2 is more than adequate for my abilities I'd really like a lossless zoom for wildlife photography
Fantastic crew today!
If you fly it slower at around 25 to 26mph and also ensure that the battery used has been charged and discharged fully 10 times, you can get a total of 80K feet. This is based off another test of Air 3 to 40K feet but that came back to original starting point.
This is not true sorry.
@@henryrooyakkers8510it's true
Next time you do this I’d recommend increasing the altitude quite a bit more as the curve of the earth could slope up. It probably isn’t enough to make a difference but when you hit that hard disconnect on the way down I’m assuming that’s what it was.
Does Earth in fact curve or is it flat? 😮
Absolutely bang on with that comment, at 12 miles the drone needs to be approximately 97ft up to achieve clear line of sight with the controller and the link seems to cut out at about 95ft!
Yes, dji's own specs for the range do state that the altitude for that ideal range is indeed 120 metres (approximately 400ft)
@@MrEddieNunez Dead flat. Until it isn't
Can you pair 2 controllers (master and slave) like it was possible on first Ocusync?
Billy, does the basic controller allow for this kind of distance? Do I need the tricked out controller?
BRO! This is WILD!!!! Wow! OC4 for the win!
That was pretty awesome. Welcome to Utah! Hope everyone out here treated you right!
Very cool love the video
great test
So when I was in Phoenix I tried flying my Air 2s around a large rock formation at a park in the city and it lost signal on the opposite side of the rock even though it wasn't very far away (about 900-1,000 feet if I remember correctly). Would this drone do better in that type of situation or would the rock still mess it up more then likely?
Whoa..thats insane bro! Everytime i see you do a video, it seems like yiur in a different color tesla haha...good video bro
Great job Billy!…the proper way to to a range test with visual observers!
… not really.
Hi Billy. Would it be possible to have raw footage of pictures and video between the air 3 and mavic 3 classic of the same location. I need a better drone than my mini 3 pro and I can’t make my mind between those 2. Cheers
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Awesome test 👍🏼
hi Billy can you tell me if there is a zoom control for taking still photos with the air 3 somebody told me there is not which is gonna be a nuisance for me if I buy one
From what I understand, visual observers cannot be used to extend VLOS. Does this flight have a waiver?
Cruise control.?how do u enable that is that just for air 3 or all DJI models I have the mavic air 2
I had thought they approved binoculars & not electronic VO assistance. I might have missed a lesson update from my CBO. I agree it looks safe but 5:50 is where your crew meets why I had thought it was only the binocular change. Binoculars can see if you elevate them to clear the horizon so the test would be extra legal if you has a bino-guy/or-gal.
Very cool test
Hey, I got the Air 3 but can't find any information about how to activate the cruise control. Can you give me a hint?
Hi Billy, I think that the curvature of the earth may have been coming into play. Would be interesting to see what the responce would be at 400 ft AGL.
Best Regards, John
Hi, Billy. What's the battery life on the new DJI RC-2? I haven't heard anything about that yet. Thanks you for the video!
I have a concern about the transmission range on my new Mavic 3T thermal. Can anyone suggest a type of meter that I can use to check the signal strength of my drone. I can compare it to a DJI Mavic three classic that I own.
How come I got the air 3 and the range is “12 miles” and mine has trouble going to 500? My antennas are setup and the battery is fully charged?
Awesome video and analysis. I know it's hard to produce all of this material, but you know, next time have a spare battery so the people in the car can switch battery and see if you can fly further away. And also a secondary cammera :D . I really enjoyed your video, the entire video. It has been a long time since I wasn't so amazed looking a drone analysis, you made it funny !😃
Don’t think it’ll make much of a difference. They’re already past the point where the signal at 100+ft up was breaking up, so replacing the battery at ground level, would it even be able to reconnect? I’d say this is pretty conclusive🙂
should have landed and changed battery at 9 miles, see how far can go, maybe rise up a little.@@psoon04286
I fly at the salt flats a lot. I will be there this evening. I will be in Oakland tomorrow evening and love flying across the bay to San Francisco
When you're going longer distances to get better signal u can lower your antenna pointing at the drone rather than straight up.
I got 20 Kilometers with my Air 3 Pro in the city at 400ft. Love this Quad.
Question which tripod Camra did you use for filming yourself?
Do that test again, but have your buddy in the Tesla take along a second battery. Try starting again with the fresh battery. If you can connect and get it in the air, fly out the last two miles to hit the 12-mile mark and see if you can keep a connection. You may have to take it up a couple hundred feet. See if you can make it back to the van on that second battery.
Dustin Dunnill did a range test in N-mode and got 40000ft and back on 5% battery left!
I need polarized glasses. You guys have cool glasses! Are they polarized? What is your a experience with RC display view in such bright locations?
Very interesting!!
Great test Billy. Please what location is this?
And I want to point out that you should have conducted the test in normal mode, that way the battery consumption would be efficient giving you a longer flight time and would also enable you to fly further
Great Video. Do you think the RC-N2 is better than the RC-2 remote on OC4?
Side note, what mic are you using? Impressively clean for outdoors and potentially a lav.
Amazing thank you
DOPE VIDEO BEST IN THE GAME !!!!!!
I had this thought the other day after seeing this video. When the drone was brought down due to battery depletion, you were at 124' in height at 57,995' out. I wonder if you 're-fueled' with a new battery at like 30,000' out(if you could still take off) and headed out again. This time at 400' in height. I think you'd get to 70,000' easy.
In order to operate a drone beyond the line of visual sight, the FAA requires operators to obtain a Part 107 BVLOS Waiver. The process for obtaining a waiver can be complex and time- consuming, and it involves demonstrating that the proposed BVLOS operation can be conducted safely. Aug 24, 2023
Did you apply for the required faa BVLOS waiver? How long was the procedure? On the faa website it says the priceedure can take a few months up to a year.
WITHOUT such waiver this test flight is NOT as you state "totally legal" but exactly the opposite.
Thank you for this! Air 3 seems really compelling as I look for a long range alternative to the Skydio 2. I would love to see a low light comparison to the Mavic 3 Pro, as I really want to get into night time hyperlapses.
Good deal to see an unimpeded range test. Now, we need to explore PENETRATION! That will be more significant for most pilots - even if testing conditions are nearly impossible to make consistent. Im.sitting here, waiting for mine (out for delivery) thanks for providing a distraction for my impatience!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but complete signal loss at the very end was likely due to the curvature of the earth. Once you descended to a certain altitude, there was a planet between you and the drone. I hate when that happens!
Great video! Perfect location to run this test! While the battery life isn’t enough for the range, it opens up the possibility of hop-scotching the drone. If there’s a pilot at the end of the first leg (predetermined landing point), they can change battery, takeover using another paired controller, and:
A. Fly the drone back to you.
B. Fly the drone to a farther waypoint, with a 3rd pilot/battery on-site.
Rinse and repeat. Theoretically, one could circumnavigate the globe so long as there are “refueling” stations, and a new pilot to launch for the next leg. Sounds like something DJI and Red Bull would sponsor. Boats on the water would be required at some waypoints. I’m in!
Best ever drone range test
40 plus minute flights and incredible range.. 42 hopurs of flight time on 3 bats and no degradation.. The battery charger feature another huge feature!
What is in the update program Misty the cruse control?
And billy many thanks I am getting mine as soon as I get my money right
I’m headed to Utah in the next few days for telecom work. Might have to bring the M3T and do a range test at the salt flats lol
Question... does the Air 3 work with VR googles?
Wondered about the direction of your controllers antennas. You changed the drones direction slightly before you started losing the signal. I looked at the bottom of your screen to see if the radar was showing the direction of your flight compared to the direction of the controller. The radar was not turned on. If you were pointed slightly to the side the signal might have been reduced slightly. If it was and you turned to point directly at the drone I wondered if you might have reached a longer distance (if the battery held up).
good distance but on the salt flats u could do well with any drone. your friend drone was still in the air as he never said he had landed and cine or normal in 1080p the battery would be 30% left still
