Quick range test of the new Mavic Air 2. Definitely the furthest range I've gotten out of any drone, but does it live up to the full 6 miles? #DJIMavicAir2 #MavicAir2 #Comparison

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.

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.

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.

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.
@kjb8321
@kjb8321 2 жыл бұрын
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

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.

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 :-)

I saw your gear in the video description, with the goggles, drone, controller, and the GoPro 8. Since I don't have any experience in flying drones, I don't know if that drone (TBS Oblivion Quadcopter) is a good decision to start flying. I also don't have a clue about how drones exactly work or what drones are good. Greets from Switzerland!
