I found it useful, but I have had issues under 500m if standing closed to high trees or tree lines I cant move away from. Even in open areas where a line of trees will kill the signal if not going higher. I normally work in the 5-15m height, when filming atletes on bikes, runners ans so on. Going 1500m away is not really something useful, maybe in the mountains.

so I'm just curious about... why does the signal to the controller matter for quality of content if you are using a micro sd to record everything on the drone? I didn't think that recorded quality was dependent on signal strength in any way whatsoever. Just asking.
@ihackyourtoaster30212 жыл бұрын
What's good about DJI drones, apart from the signal strength which some peoeple may say are questionable, is how safe they are even if you can't really see them. I've flown drones "dangerously" over the years but I've never lost one due to loss of control. Knowing how to use RTH has done wonders and has saved me thousands of dollars as these things can literally fly by themselves back to you. Who care how far they can fly if they can't come back, amirite?

DJI used to only advertise range capabilities etc. in the FCC (U.S.) system, which does allow for 8-10km range. Whereas the EU has way more stricter guidelines in their CE system, which only allows for around 2-3km range. You can notice that they started to advertise what the range is in FCC, CE etc. for the new Avata drone, because I guess people complained that the way they used to advertise this stuff wasn't quite fair and transparent.

What the problem is .. because of weak signal I can’t take my mini 3 beyond a small hill when it descends out of direct line of signal . So maybe you don’t need 10 miles but with this which is possible on the North American and Canadian drones FCC , where as we get a weaker signal in Europe . I was really disappointed and if I knew before buying my mini 3 , I may not have bothered . Since it’s no extra distance than the mini 2 . Sometimes I’d like to get footage of inaccessible places that the advertised distance is needed to get the drone to these isolated spots . So yes in my view we need a stronger signal .

No one really flies that far anyway. I'm not worried, but in the urban scenario I guess flying higher can give you a little bit more range. For wide open spaces I don't really have an answer except "VLOS". The fact that these drones can exceed 2km is already a wonder all its own so I guess I would already be happy with that and not push the "short range" button repeatedly.

I totally agree with you about cinematic video's yet it eould be nice to have a bit more range. My proximity to the Canadian rocky mountains makes you realize that distance is relative, big open spaces and distance becomes an issue. While range isn't always important the strength and stability of the signal is so it depends on where and what you like to document in your video.

Hello, first of all I clarify that I am a follower of your channel and I like your videos. On this occasion, I strongly disagree that it is "boring" to fly in a straight line from one point to another. In any case it is "your personal opinion", it is not a truth to affirm. Personally, I really like the "long range" to take the drone to the limit of its possibilities, but this requires a special technique that very few people manage to master. The "long range" is another category and you can't mix the one that flies over close objects with the one that performs "long range", they are very different techniques. Other concepts are necessary for such practice., therefore, something that has to be planned, studied, understood, known to react in an emergency, etc. cannot be boring (in my humble opinion). Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

So please be honest folks… It's not a question of "what's enough for me" or "it's boring to fly in one direction". Please take a closer look at your mini packaging, what DJI has printed on it in big letters: 8km CE, 12km FCC. Therefore the standard argument of the law-abiding KZfaqrs and DJI-fanboys with the legal situation and the mandatory line of sight is formally correct but basically outrageous in this case: If DJI promises these ranges and advertises this product with these exorbitantly high numbers, then it must at least partially correspond to reality. Like every other drone they released in the past was able to achieve the advertised range and in some cases even exceeded it. The Mini 3 has been proven to reach only a tiny fraction of the advertised value. And please: even if you don't fly 8km away, it's completely logical that the signal strength would be much better over short distances if the advertised range would be actually achieved, right?

I have had a thought on these range tests. Some don’t make it back because of battery. Well looking at the shape of the drone it occurred to me that the drone may actually more streamlined in reverse, and maybe it could go further, easier going backwards. Just as flying sideways must create the most drag. Perhaps a test for this may assist those drone pilots who seem doomed on the way back, maybe it could save the day. A test showing a range test in reverse vs forward may establish an important drone action to perform on returns.

XENON SKY here on YT flies his Mini 3 Pro 10 km out and back, with the stock RC. Limited by battery, not signal. He stands on top of a one story roof, maybe 3m above ground. The pilot‘s immediate surroundings seem to be what‘s limiting range more than anything else. Choose wisely, my friend, before posting range tests … The advertized 12 km range seem accurate to me. I recently had to do some cinematic footage 2.2 km away and it worked fine until M3P flew behind the monument where it enaged RTH. CE mode.

if you want to fly farther (8-9km) first you need to unlock FCC transmission. Your drone is locked in CE signal strength. 2 km is fine in this case ;)

When the range is soooo farrrr away from VLOS, I wonder why people ask about long range so much. I want strong signal because I fly around trees, canyons, etc. This drone has OS3, so the whole question is pointless to me. It's good!
@jdshkolnik2 жыл бұрын
I wonder if DJI sourced range-related components from multiple vendors? That'd help explain why some people have issues while others don't even in similar scenarios.
@Zombie1012 жыл бұрын
so the question is, will DJI make this better range with a firmware update or am I still better off going with the mini 2?
@Zombie101 Жыл бұрын
The answer is, DJI lock people from UK onto a weak signal. So unless that changes like in America I'm done buying any of their products

Now you can double your investment and get the Dji RC Pro for the Mini 3 Pro. You'll get a much more powerful unit with (6) antennas for greater range, a 1080 screen with HD output, Way Points and a lot of other features.

For me it's not so much that i won't use it's max range often. But it's the advertisement. Still, on DJI's site, they're claiming 12km. Even in absolute perfect conditions, it doesn't perform anywhere near that.

That's stupid indeed. Was in Belgium last week. Stood on a hill, 0 interference from buildings etc. Brought the drone up to 120 meters, and got 3.4 km far before losing signal. Its still pretty far, but nowhere near the advertised distance

A great video again - as usual. I would not fly that far. I think you said to keep in 500m distance max. so do I. Could not fly that far. Looking forward to your videos from Turkey :)

If you live in an FCC country you’ll get the full 10km range. In a CE country you’ll get 1km or 2km on a good day in the countryside.

Apologies if I missed it in the video, but is part of this due to reduced radio power in the non-US models? I'm seeing videos here in the US with people easily reaching the 3 mile, (about 4,800 meters) distance, and I frequently go two miles (about 3200 meters) with few issues.

I heard about mini 3 range is not really good with this new RC with internal antenna. My friend also test mini 3 with standard RC and the range is way better than this new RC. I stick to my standard RC for now because the range is way better.
@gabrielleyba28422 жыл бұрын
and it's advertised 12 Km. put it as you like it looks like a big difference to me. I went 2.5 Km away in the city and 5 or more at the beach with my mini 2 which was advertised 10. totally agree that nobody needs that tho.

Definitely still a fantastic drone, and those distances are very respectable. I don't fly nearly that far away, and in general I have not had any problems. However, every once in awhile, there must be other radio interference, because there are days when 500 ft (166m) distance is dropping signal. That's still definitely in LOS, which I definitely find frustrating. In general, it's pretty darn good so.. /shrug?
