- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Hey! Today I am doing something crazy. Going as far as possible without returning home. During the recording it was around 8° Celsius and a little tail wind. If you have any other tests you want me to do, comment below and there is a chance I will try it.
This is recorded with DJI Mavic Mini 2 in 4K at 30fps. I have used auto settings to record all of the footage. There is no filter or color correction added to the video. Everything you see is directly from the drone.
Song used in the video:
Rival - Throne - (ft. Neoni) [NCS Release]
Thank you for watching my video. I wish you have a great day! ;)
My mini 2 ships tomorrow! Binging everything mini 2 on RUclips, thanks for sharing.
Amazing and I wish you all good luck! Mini 2 is incredible for its size and price 🤩
@@Zeightar did you use additional signal boosters?
In real life the usable range is around 2 to 3 miles. The battery lasts 31 minutes maximum and at 15 miles per hour it takes 20 minutes to go 5 miles. That's not accounting for wind, climbing and decending and doing any photography or video time. So 10 minutes out, 10 minutes back with 10 minutes of reserve or loitering time. Trust me, I tried to reach an offshore navigation buoy that's 2.5 miles off the beach and I didn't get there (I was probably about 300 yards from it) and I made it back with 4 minutes left. It's pretty intense when you're a mile out over the ocean and the battery is at 20%. 2 miles away. That's about it.
Make it in meters please
@@ChessBadgedo it yourself?
Why argue. You have just seen it on video. I've done 4 miles easy so what's with the two miles. We all know about different conditions... Do you not??
WoW ! Mini 2 is Amazing even in 2024.
Он всё ещё виликолепен и в 2025 )
The first drone video I watched from start to finish. :D
Åh gud, visste det var Sverige. Hade magkänslan för det, även den svenska brytningen i engelskan avslöjade det lite, detta tills du nämnde det vid (4:53). Snyggt jobbat annars. :)
"Here in skaune"- ight, haha.
Hehe, såklart ju! :D
We want to see the screen recording. All the time, that’s most interesting
Outstanding flight. Glad you were able to get the Mini back with no issues.
Thanks, me too. Happy it was in a piece.
My range test 3500 meters ruclips.net/video/H8_-VgCtD0A/видео.html
Really nice flight! Incredible what a machine! Thanks for the video!
Agreed =) Thank you for your comment.
My range test 3500 meters ruclips.net/video/H8_-VgCtD0A/видео.html
This is the reason enough to love mini 2 with heart n soul. Thank u soooo much for making such video... Highly appreciated man and your commentary was super cool too! 👍
So insane... great video that i've ever see for dji mini 2... good job my bro..
thanks :D
Wow impressive, really nice video.. I think this is the best drone ever, watching from Canada..
When I saw that hawk I got chills lol Luckily the mini doesn't seem to upset them much but larger drones they normally attack! Another good thing about the Mini 2. Great footage!
I agree, it is scary when birds fly passed the droned repeatedly 😅
Your the reason I just ordered it!Perfect video you literally almost lost your drone for your viewers keep it up
nahezu can just use GPS on the DJI fly app to locate it easy!
It was a great flight 👍💯 for guts alone you deserve a subscriber , glad you got it back !
This gotta be the record. Every other video tries to take the return into consideration.
An amazing range test, thank you. I look forward to seeing some more of your exploits.
Fantastic keep up the good work 👍👍👍
good video....thanks for this awsome video...and DJI good job !!
I have to say this is the best distance test I had ever seen.i watched 1,000s and am impressed.jim from America😁
Congratulations for your amazing range test. Very nice test. It seems that this drone has intelligency and was impressive how after running out of battery he land in the middle of the garden without hitting any tree.
it has under sensor right
it not hitting a tree was just pure luck, the drone doesnt have obstacle avoidance.
@@thymme7508 no but it does have under sensors
@@Matanumi it does but it doesn’t use those sensors to avoid obstacles it just senses where the ground is so it can slow down/abort landing if the ground isnnt suitable
Epic flight man, Seriously impressive connection at 10000m and just in CE mode..
crazy how this tiny drone goes this far
This is the most funny and interesting video that i saw about mini2..
Thank Mauricio! Makes me happy to hear :)
Great vid, I was worried myself just watching. New user myself, and not flown too far yet 👌🏾👌🏾
It was a little scary, but I fully rely on DJI and their wonderful tech :)
Awesome Job dji
try increasing the height limit to 500m in the settings and you might be able to go further! You earned a sub!
What a beautiful video liked and subbed!
I appreciate it, thanks!
What a nice person you are. Thank you for this video.
Thanks 😃
First of all he's lucky he didn't get shot at landing in on somebody's property good way to lose your drone I would never do nothing stupid like that
amazing video g, this was amazing and your an amazing guy
The "holy smokes" got me dying on my drone 💀💀💀💀
very good distance try
Great distance test! Nice video.
Thanks ✌🏼
truly incredible li’l tiny drone! proud that i also have my mini 2 for 3 months now. new subscriber here man...
I agree, thanks - hope you enjoy! =)
wow 11Km, I worry taking my mini2 more than 500 metres !
Trust the tech...🤔 Thats all 👍
My hands shake when I fly with my Mini 2 more than 100 m away 😂🤷🏼
@@DiligentPainter7 ha ha, damn true 😂
Lol, same here
@@DiligentPainter7 I am working my way farther little by little!
I LOVE THE DJI MINI 2. well done thumbs up, new subscriber
O don't know why everybody else is doing range test above sea water. This is a range test I would do. Thanks for doing it, so I haven't :D
Great footage thank you for sharing
😊
Ideal location for a range test and such an amazing result. I enjoyed the commentary too. Liked and subscribed.
Thanks, I'm happy to hear. Hope you enjoy, stay tuned, more videos is coming :3
How is this even possible? I am shocked. Wow! This Mini 2 is a beast. Who knew....
Now I am tempted to do the same experiment lol
My max is 800meters and fear :!!
You deserve way more subscribers
Thanks, very appreciated 😊
Nice flight. I noticed that you didn’t use the compass in the corner of your map screen to help you keep your RC Controller pointed in the same direction as the drone. You might have had less interference. But either way still a nice flight I wish I had an area as flat and open as you were flying in.
Thanks, good idea! I see, Southern of Sweden is quite flat 😅
@@Zeightar isn't the earth flat?
Absolutely fantastic ❤️😎
My mini 2 arrived today
And 3 extra batteries 😀
I also have a 1 week old
Mini se
Ive to have sent my mini 2 to insane distances….. GREAT lil drone!!!!
I wonder if the mini 2 se can go the same distance as the DJI mini 2
The drone deserve an beer after all the hard work..
He really does, cheers drone. Take a sip ;) 🍻
You give a new meaning to the concept of "VLOS" ... 🙂
Wtf that is actually insane. I always thought that the 10km range is just the "best possible outcome" that looks good on paper, but does not really translate well into reality. But it can actually do it, amazing
Подтверждаю это.На Алике есть акб на 4100ма/ч.С этой акб вы сможете улететь на 10 км. с возвратом в точку дом.Надо только выбрать хорошую локацию без помех,при слабом ветре,но дрон прийдется всё таки поднять повыше 120 м.,примерно где-то на 300-350 м.
You need to increase altitude slowly as you go down range to keep good transmission
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.
When you are reversing the drone speed is significantly reduced so you wouldn't make it home in time at all
Now this was the real range test
DJI Care Refresh fly away coverage has been activated. . 😁
Great video!
Thank you! 😊
Very good video. Mini2 is very lucky not to land on the street or the hedges or trees
Careful next time, you might get shot by the lot owner. Whew. Nice flight test.
Thank, it was very interesting!
As I understood, after drone lost connection and landed, you checked exact home point on DJI Fly app, and found it this way, right?
No actually not, it wasn't very precise with the positioning. I didn't receive a signal either when I was close to the drone because the battery was already out. So I had to look around the area a little bit to find it.
I noticed at one point early on in your flight that your return to home altitude was 15m. Possibly a bit low considering there are wind generators in your area amongst other things. Also noticed it at 56 m later on.
Good notice and thank you for your consideration. Even if it shows 15m in some tiny moments, it is actually not 15m. When you lose signal with the drone it looks like it is set to another levels in both altitude, distance and so fourth. As soon as you get connection again, it will go back as it was before. Basically the drone saves the settings you have put in your phone/remote controller. Even thought your phone is showing something else while lost connection, it is not correct. The drone "knows" the settings you have set while you had connection. You can only change the settings while you are connected to the drone, otherwise it will save the recent settings and keep that in mind until you change it.
Also very good to know! If you own a DJI Mini 2. Whenever you have set your Altitude in Return-To-Home, let's say 20 meters and you are flying at altitude of 120 meters. You lose signal or turn on RTH or your remote controller rans out of battery. Your drone will never lower to the set altitude then go to the home point. Actually it is the other way around, first home point then lower the altitude. If you are above the set altitude of the RTH in the settings, it will actually stay in the same altitude and fly to the RTH instantly. When the home point is reached, then it will lower the altitude.
If you have an DJI Mini 2, you can actually try this out yourself if you want =) Keep safe and thanks for your comment 😊
When it loses signal, all the dials go to minimum level. I also shat mself once when it disconnected but all the settings are saved on the drone.
Wow amazing range test 🇸🇪
Great job…..love how you tap him on the head when he safely back with you….just l am with my Kermit 🤪🤪🤪
😁
The limit is 11119m for signal with most phones. Around 36479ft or 6.9mi for us Americans.
I just got mine I hope to have as much fun as u do
Wow! This is a very scary flight, losing connection in flight! Whew!
Your amazing bro I just bought yesterday it’s great
I got a adrenaline rush watching this video...well done. Question: how did you find your drone, did you have enough battery power left to use "find my drone"?
That was crazy
I agree :3
Wow, we both share the same words and love for our little mini....I did something similar in city environment and got only to 14,500 feet distance at 390 feet altitude.....my baby landed and I used the longlat on the map..... and there she was .....my sweet baby 🥰 just waiting for me.....I have a Luma Cube strobe on it and I highly recommend it for day and night flying. My best wishes to you. I am your new sub and fan.
I'm sold.
Now do that in an urban area and you get maybe 1km at best :D
what firmware version you were on at the time of recording, 01.04 is doing much worse now in terms of transmission
That was a serious range test, Kudos to you! I'm quite surprise that it was able to reach that far, the Drone range i think is limited to CE range(CE mark restriction) and would be shorter than 10km. The FCC variant has a stronger signal thus can do further distance. anyway what a great way to illustrate the range of this drone.
I am surprised if I have a FCC variant because I bought this in a Swedish store. They are supposed to be CE.
Yes your drone is CE mode when i see your transmission the line is in 1km, if FCC mode the line is under 1km
Bra jobbat :)
Tack 😊
Crazy but well done LOL...
Impressive
This video makes me feel wow.. with my mini2 just buy last week.
Your English is super. Great job.
nice video! where is the place?, magnificent landscape
Sweden, close to Eslöv =)
Gör det nån skillnad om du kör i 45kmh istället för 33kmh?
Alltså om du skulle komma längre då.
Undrar också varför homepoint update inte funkade ibland?
Känns ju som ett ganska allvarligt problem.
En annan fråga är om det skulle gå att du sätter homepoint typ 13 km från den plats du startar, och sen trycker du bara på " return to home".
Skulle den flyga de 13 km helt av sig själv och landa?
Otroligt bra frågor! Definitivt en idé att testa.
Jag medvetet avbröt home pointen för att försöka flyga och ha connection så långt som möjligt. Det vill säga se räckvidden från handkontrollen till drönaren.
Det är frågan, det får jag nästan testa! 😊
Great flight and showcase of this drone. I’m about to get my first serious one and it’s between this and the Air 2S, however this footage is more than perfect enough and the big plus, aside from Mini 2’s price, is that the size doesn’t require registration. Just hoping DJI doesn’t release a Mini 3 too soon thereafter.
The Mini3 will probably get a front facing sensor, not much else of consequence to be honest with you. They will not upgrade the camera I don't think as it is already 4k and they don't want to cannibalize the Air2 sales. The significant upgrade to the Mini2 from the original Mavic Mini was the inclusion of Ocusync2.0 which made it a spectacular drone in my opinion. I rushed and bought the original Mavic Mini, it was horrible, no wind resistance and signal would get choppy at 300-400m in urban settings. So, back to the potential of the Mini3; If I am correct and its only the addition of a front facing sensor, just buy the Mini2 now. People think 'sensors' are important, they really are not. In order to get some range out of the drone one must fly it at altitude (50m+), what is there to hit up there that would make sensors useful?
Snyggt 😊
Tack 😊
Great range test. What drone is that ? Is it the dgi mini 4k ? Or dgi mini 2 se , shot in 4k ? Or the dgi mini 2, in 4k , shot mode ,? Or the dgi maverick mini 2, shot In 4k ??
Wow enjoyed the video very much very much ty
I have other Birds but the Mini-2 is so easy to get started and just Fly !!!! 😁
Realistically how much line of sight do you need to have to reach X distance? That is, if I am flying in a town and send it a few hundred meters away but can’t see it or am blocked by houses and trees, should I be worried?
I just got mine and even though I know it can do remarkable things I am constantly afraid even to send it 200M away where I can’t see it
I wonder if we could get an upgraded aftermarket battery that just adds a bit of weight
Impressive!
I am just wondering why did you set your home point while it was in flight or was it a mistake?
It was a mistake that I did it in someone's yard, yes. But setting the home point was not a mistake. If I would have not set the home point. The drone would have tried to go back to the last home point when I lost connection with the drone. I did not want that to happen, I wanted to have a safety measure.
Nice. The signal could be fluctuating due to what we used to call skip
Interesting, what does "skip" mean?
@@Zeightar when I used to use FM radio when we had weather like that our signal would bounce and repeat for more than normal distance skip like arc frequency wave
Well you flew a slight circle, reducing the overall distance I guess. Impressive nonetheless. Turning around improves the Signal. Its antennas are in the front.
Yeah, I should do the same test but better place and straight forward ! :)
Nice!
Thanks :3
Awesome flight
Did u upgrade the firmware of booth rc and drone?
Gorgeous with the light rays breaking through the clouds 😀 taking it seriously to the max! It answers our questions of what happens indeed, again though absolutely gorgeous video!
Those damn birds they keep wanting my mini 2 over the water
:D Haha Yeah, better be safe and hopefully the birds aren't disturbed while passing by birds
Wow it’s unbelievable!
Instead of resetting the homepoint you could go to safety and set upon loss of connection to hover
Problem is, if I lose connection with the drone, it will automatically activate RTH (return-to-home). Therefore I had to reset the homepoint, so I can know where it will eventually land. Otherwise the drone will try to fly all the way back home and land wherever (I have no idea where), because the battery would've run out.
My big mistake was, I had flight-mode on my phone therefore the internet was off. That's why. the maps was white and didn't load. So I couldn't see where I put the home point. I accidentally put the home point in someone's yard.
Since I did a full range test, I didn't want the drone to return home. The purpose of the video was to see how far the drone stayed connected to the remote controller. My results was 10,7 km (6.6 miles).
Wow amazing and it didn't land in a tree!
Amazing hahaha...i just try 3 kilometers respect you bro 😅
What a great video lol 😆
Thanks :P
how you get it back after landing because Accu was empty ? you drive to the drone ?
Amazing flight, great vid my man.
Thanks!
My range test 3500 meters ruclips.net/video/H8_-VgCtD0A/видео.html
That was a lucky RTH because it was like 1- 2 meters away from trees and Branches.
bravo,, DJI ur d best!!!!!!
Helt galet långt.... 😎
Håller med 😊
My drone says it's losing connection after 200 meters. This is in a similar area as in the video. How do you get it so far?
There's a setting where a virtual barrier can be placed, try adjusting it in the settings and increase the barrier or remove it
