Still, by far, my favorite KZfaqr. Thanks for the great videos!

Wow what an amazing video! You have an incredible flying spot. There was a minute there I was certain you weren’t gonna make it back. Nerve wracking! Looks like you still had pretty decent signal strength even at that range. I guess at this point battery life is the limit instead. Pretty cool. Can’t wait to pick one of these up on eBay for a good deal.

Thanks for sharing Dustin. Very informative. All your video's are great.

I actually did a range test with the reflectors and got to 20,200ft distance using sport mode. I ignored the RTH when the battery hit 70% at 20,000ft. Once I got to 200ft further I realized I may run out of power so I did return to home manually using sport mode, but had to land about 1/4 mile short of my launch location and then go get it. I did another flight to 3 miles distance without the reflectors and safely returned. So I found that using the reflectors with the mavic pro for further distance rather than with just the bare antennas is pointless if you don’t have enough battery power to make it back anyway. However, I think for shorter range flights through physical obstructions like trees, the reflectors give a slight advantage for better transmission. This is based on a few tests I have done, but still inconclusive. One thing that’s important to note, using sport mode does use more power. I tested this too. I flew the same path twice with and without sport mode. The test with sport mode used 7% more power and that was at 10,000ft distance. This is because wind resistance isn’t double at 40mph vs 20mph. It’s 4x. hypothetically if it could fly in a vacuum, sport mode speed should use the same battery power vs non-sport mode because you cover 2 times the distance in the same time period. But the only way to utilize battery power for max distance flight is using non-sport mode to fly into the headwind and return using sport mode with a tailwind.

Great Video and thanks for taking a risk and educating us on this drone & range ! I would never do something so risky and unnecessary BUT a HUGE THANK YOU !!

Absolutely one fine demo hats off Dustin ! I got to have one !

Thank you for a super demonstration...plan to check out the rest of your videos. Thank you, Phil Kentucky

wow! That was awesome. I just ordered my mavic from amazon, thanks to your video. Cheers

Very cool! Really enjoyed this view and your commentary.

That was INCREDIBLE!!! WOW!!! Great job and thanks for all the info.

The hood made a buffer for the wind preventing it from going faster both ways like a parachute effect , only good for taking pic in the sun not for distance or speed.

Excellent flight and video. Picture quality was very good with the ND16 filter. I am amazed at the precision landing feature and with my P3A had it for sure. Thanks again for sharing.

Loving the reviews. Just subscribed and on a mission to watch all your videos. Keep up the great work!

Nice video on the DJI Mavis Pro. I really love the backpack.

Awesome man best demonstration I have seen and I have seen a few wish I could afford one of them well done pal 5☆

Great video. You definitely deserve more subs!

Saw this video ordered one 5 min into the video... So stoked for this... Will be picking it up tomorrow hopefully...

Maui looks beautiful. Thanks for the video!

Love your channel and the place you shoot.. thank you.. subbed.

Dustin very good range test but you had me on the edge of my seat good video bro keep it up

Awesome to see the progress of technology!!

Reflectors work great for a USB WiFi dongle on your laptop when you’re traveling. Thanks for sharing! 👍

I have these extenders with a Mavik Air, I’m using them more as insurance against losing signal at regular distances

Bout to get one soon, cant wait!

About 20 minutes into the video I'm petty sure I saw Sasquatch. That drone is awesome!!

I might add that there's a location near me that similar to yours up on the side of a mountain with no interference and I took my phantom 4 pro stock out pretty much like you did and got 3.6 miles out but the battery was my limitation and I still had good strong signal strength on both the bird and the video. I ended up having 19% battery when I got back so I probably could've hit 4 miles but again battery seems to be the limitation on these. It sure gets the adrenaline flowing!

Good job on commentary and keeping it interesting. I just got some of those and I fly from my house and always lose signal due to interference. But with them on, 2 miles no problem!

Nice video and very good range. Love all videos you are makeing.waiting for more.

Epic as always

I just love these videos where you fly and comment in real time. That action cam on the chest is also great. Much better than those videos with lots of b-roll and loud crappy music. Continue making these awesome videos!! I only watch your videos with joy.

what a thriller !!!! Loved it !!!

How do get the pictures of curtain screens on your videos in the small boxes?

I have these range extenders, however when I use them, I always seem to get signal interference. Is there any way around this?

You the man ! Keep pushing them drones !

Great video by the way. Thanks for sharing.

Great video as usual.

I always use the performance meter, that way I can see the attitude. Letting me know which way the wind is pushing. Also course lock so I’m only pushing the throttle.

thanks mr Dustin Dunnill good vidio and nice trip

Dustin, Where is the location that you are flying in Maui? It looks beautiful. I will be traveling to Maui this year and also would like to fly there. ​

Nice i can watch your drone videos all day long

Great video. This drone is incredible for those that can competently use it. If you lose the drone in the bush over a mile from launch point, and the app crashes, can you still track the drone by booting up again and using the gps map?

Goose bumbs on the return to home. Bravo pour ce test de distance. Thanks for sharing the beautiful scene. Gimbal cover should be remove and keep only Lens 8 or 16 you hade ?

This is where I think DJI did very well in engineering their drones, cause the range limit seems to be battery limited and not controller range, assuming people don't fly it down to 10%. I have done the sport mode vs regular and battery life is worse in sport mode. Another test I did was to fly out in regular mode with headwind and back in sport mode with tailwind, and range is excellent. You can look at power consumption to see if your drone is speed or tilt limited to get an idea of how much range you will have. For example, in sport mode with just a few MPH headwind the power will be at 100%, whereas with a light tailwind, maybe only a MPH or so, you can fly 40mph at 75% power or so, which means the drone is speed limiting, not tilt limiting. Either way, these things are amazing with their ability to transmit 4k video over miles of distance instantly.

Nice,now that's a range test.Great flight.

Dustin, another great video. I'm very interested in the quality and reliability of the "on screen, real time picture". So my question - Using the same tablet / smart phone on a Mavic Pro and a Phantom 4 Pro, which drone will give the best quality and reliable "on screen, real time picture". Thanks and keep making great videos!

Yup battery is a limitation on this drone as far as distance. It's not starving from signal really even without the add on booster. Love your videos man keep it up!

Hello from South Florida! I have enjoyed all of your reviews and soon will have one of these drones but in the meantime, checking out all of the laws and regulations here. in my area. Just thinking if you would of gone the full 20,000 feet and how much more worried you would have been!

Dustin - You are a real daredevil! Nice baby crying sound effects. :-)

Another excellent video!! Thanks for the info man.

Thank you for sharing , i had similar issue of app crash on android.

wow nice video man. I was scared waiting to get it home before battery issue

good video helped me a lot , i too use having range issues

I cant wait for the day we have 1 hour batteries lol

Great video! What's amazing is the detail of the WiFi FPF. I've tried WiFi FPV and got no range on it . Within a few feet I was having video cutouts. My new drone has 5.8G FPV and 720p camera. Your image quality is superb! Keep up the great vids and I'll keep coming back

Great, My heart was pounding. I thought in an environment like this the unit should go 3 miles with nothing. In your experience do the boosters truly help. I can't seem to get a mile with out the screen loosing the picture and often the connection Lots of trees around and I'm low and flying over mts. but still. . Great video either way.

Would the gimbal sun shade increase or decrease wind resistance? its kind of shaped like a bucket so I would think it would increase wind resistance a little.

Beautifully done. Thinking about purchasing... if you press RTH does it return slower than if you manually Sport Mode it. Trying to understand limitations. TY

A lil scared to take mine that far, “yet” ,but , very impressive bro! The longer I own her the more comfortable I am about her reliability

That was genuinely exciting...I know just how it feels to be running low on juice & if you'll make it home or not!! ....well done, nice one!

Need to compare range with and without reflectors, to see if they actually make a difference. I Enjoy all of your range tests. I look forward to the next one.

Dude this is trippy. I have the exact same shirt and your beard looks identical to mine!

Good vid. I agree that we need tech to display height over ground not over launch point. I've spent a lot of time flying gliders and unless the mavic camera screwed up my depth perception I'd be amazed if you were below 400ft once you were away from the hill - worth checking on an aviation chart to be on the safe side 😊👍🏻

Great videos Dustin keep up the good work

Dustin, being new in the drone world, my understanding is that with FFA rules the craft can't fly above 400'. That said, when you were over the area where the landscape sloped downward, does the craft know your still within those limits? The video was stunning... Just bought my Mavic, and now were into a major winter storm. Just figures.. lol

best droner youtuber💙😍👌

Some users have issues with them if the drone is directly above, the extenders focus the signal towards the drone area. So its like having a pencil beam vs wide angle flashlight. You will get more range but less width spread should you want to fly say from the left to the right over a greater range. The product is simple in principle so it works quite well on all DJI products. I used it a more on my phantom 4 pro. No issues on the mavic yet since I have not even passed the 1.5 mile mark. Thanks again for another cool video. Subbed.

wouaaah c'était vraiment bien calculé ! félicitation

Another great video!! Funny about those people having to park two feet from ya...

Dustin, quick question-- In the little box on the bottom left, you have the compass arrow, line -- AND the land pictured. I do not have that. How doI get all three together??

I just bust out laughing!!!! You're voice is always so calm and chill and then all of a sudden the sound of a baby crying. Hilarious.

Awesome added accessory, would be great for an area with some interference

Nice video, little concerned as to why your altimeter wasn't working, it should have adjusted you altitude using the barometer as you flew, where you able to correct that?

My brother has the DJI Spark after all of the calibrations it's still lands within 12 in away from The Landing Pad why is that what can be done to correct this .? Thanks

I look forward to seeing your future mods on this.

Great show 👍🤝😎

I love your Parrot Disco Videos.

this is an awesome video.. i love it...

I bought my mavic pro yesterday man and you scare me when you ignore the return home your drone and I was nervous and finally you got your drone back 🤪

What app are you using to record your screen?

Was surprised you were moving the camera with so little power left. Every little counts 👍 Good job! Question: If you had lost it at that distance, would it have come home on it's own?

Excellent video, I personally don't think the parabolics are required on a mavic, unless of course you can in future get some form of extended battery, regarding the app crashing, I had it all the time using my shield tablet, switched to a ipad mini and no crashes (and no I'm no fan boy, I use android for my phone ;) )

Good job+Great video:) Which smartphone you use in this video? And this often happens#DJI MAVIC PRO ( because I only use Android + iPhone is better optimized or .... )?

Dude your answer is so funny you’re my favorite KZfaqr I subscribe to you I like every video and I also press the bell and subscribe so

Hello Dustin. Do you have an estimate time to RTH after the yellow bar advise you to RTH? why do you prefer to do range test in sport mode? Thanks

How do you record your cell phone display?

Would have liked to see you do this with the same settings as you did before. Kind of a different flight route

Mahalo DD for that one....crowded up there, eh?...lol...well just confirmed my thoughts...the Spark is very good but the Mavic...better ..gotta order one soon...well done my friend!

Thanks for that. Very good review. Is there a posibility to review GDU 02 drone ?

Cool video. It's good to know that the range extenders work, not that I'm going to send my Mavic too far away, I'm more interested in improved signal for control. I do have a question from what I've seen. You started off at high level and held 34ft, the ground dropped away and the Mavic was at a higher level when compared to the ground. What happens if you fly below the start point level, say you flew down the mountain. Is it an issue for the drone? Cheers

Thank u for the video. Why did u chose the Mavic over Phantom?

Could you post the actual flight video from these reviews? Would be interesting to watch.

You read my mind! lol I was just going to ask how they work with the mavic after your spark video. ;)

Love the mavic

I was curious what kind of camera you use on your body when controlling the Drone?

Hi Dustin, I'm enjoying your videos. Thanks for all the information. One question, does the app crash on both android and iOS? Thanks and keep up the good work.

Hi there good afternoon. I noticed there are several companies that make the same similar style range extenders just like the ones you put in the description. I’m assuming they’re all the same with just different company names attached to them. What are your thoughts.?

Nice video, I have same dishes on my mavic, they work for me, I have never lost signal with them on, and would recommend.

open range and those people wanted to be right next to you lol!

now lets say you want to land it somewhere there and you want to come and pick it up manually, when you land it it will loose signal and enter in return to home mode. can you just land it without it RTH automatically?

Very impressive and nail biting at the same time. glad you got her home Dustin.
