    @AndrewVSmith10 6 лет назад +14

    This was almost as nerve-wracking as the Mavic Pro on the mountain. Even you were much more nervous on that one. :-)
    But this is an amazing test. I'd have never thought you'd get that range from a Mavic Air, especially in urban conditions. Thanks a lot!

    • @gonefishing744
      @gonefishing744 5 лет назад +2

      Its fun as hell i bought one 3 days ago. Barely flew it yesterday for the first time. I been researching regulations and rules, Maintenance, pre-flight requisites. Basically this thing is to not be a considered a toy. Also registered my drone operator license from the FAA under 107 commercial drone. Went on a test flight and its super addicting and fun! Going to keep practicing today, as well as making adjustments on the camera and wifi settings, Calibration all that good stuff. Def a cool hobby to get into but you must do hours and hours and hours and hours of research. There are people who constantly lose their drones and blame dji but i realize they are just retarded of the highest type. People think "oh i can just buy a drone take it out the box and just fly it without any reprocussions. Nope, #1 you need at least 10 satellites before you even take off. #2 download an app called kittyhawk. It shows you the no fly zones and where you can and can't fly also allows you to get authorization to fly from nearby airport control towers. People wonder why their drone just fell out of the sky uhhh probably air control shooting down your drone due to negligence. Stay informed and good luck!

    Great video, I’m toying with upgrading my phantom 3 advanced for one of these.
    They seem unbelievable for the size. I love my p3a but it’s not the easiest thing to cart around. Glad the range/signal issue is sorted as it put me off in the last video, this vid though.... fantastic !

  • @JasonTurner
    @JasonTurner 6 лет назад +1

    Wow this is amazing! Makes me want to run out and get one right now! If I'm not mistaken, the first time around you had a wind, and I think you had turned off some of the sensors, since you were just doing a range test. Unreal man... Woot!

  • @KenKneknaneek
    @KenKneknaneek 6 лет назад +1

    Great flight as usual. I just noticed you did this back in Feb/18 . I wonder if your location has something to do with the excellent range you are getting? What distance would you be getting with the same experiment if you took off from the bottom of the mountain you are on? Would the angles and the slight curvature of the earth affect the transmission of the signal? Would there be more interference picked up at this lower angle of flight even if you went up the same height of 200 feet? Would love to see the same test done from the bottom of your mountain. Happy Flying

    Hi Dustin!
    Interesting Range Test!! It´s seem that, with the firmware update. the Mavic Air improve his Range and Video quality reception.
    Are you planning to repeat the Range test with parabolics (Range Boosters)?

I wonder if you do this test with the Spark at this time of night whether you can get further - also maybe the Bebop 2 too?. Enjoyed that and had my fingers crossed also and I got nervous lol. Thanks another awesome test. Cheers George :)

  • @Lior1973
    @Lior1973 6 лет назад +16

    Well when the picture is so dark the video encoder has nothing to do since most of the pixels are black. The video bitrate will be lower and that is why you can transfer it with no problem. Take the same test when it is sunny and you will see the difference.
