Will a FORCED Interference Test make DJI Mini 3 Pro LOSE CONNECTION? (Bluetooth & WIFI enabled)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2022
- I did a test of the DJI Mini 3 Pro signal strength with both Bluetooth and wifi enabled on both DJI RC and my iPhone to see if this interference can break the connection within VLOS and how the drone handles it? #djimini3pro #djimini3prosinal #djimini3

Love your tests! Great videos, and keep smiling, your attitude is a joy!
I don’t know what it is,but you sure do attract those anti drone people! 😂 love the channel btw 👍👍👍
Hi thanks for creating this video it really helps people to understand what’s going on with signal failure I live in the UK and I have had my DJI mini 3 for about three weeks now and every time I fly I am lucky if I reach 300meters so yeah thanks for sharing and I hope DJI sort this out quickly.
Funny you mentioned Stewart and Alina. I was watching their latest video the other day where Stewart mentioned that he often times flies while in his car and I immediately thought of you! He's been posting some REALLY nice footage lately too. Really spectacular area he's chosen to film
Got my drone and RC at 11 o’clock this morning had the Flymo kit for three weeks in. I love the way that I tell Siri fly more and she insists on giving me a lawnmower. You should see my maiden flight video on here I flew it 2 1/2 feet into the air turned it round and flew it back down again LOL
Air photography did a test with RC-N1 and RC Pro and no diff . Seems to point to some issues in drone , perhaps some serial number ranges have antenna issues or receiver problems. Will have to try mine in FCC mode in uk
Thank you for this! That's why you're my favorite drone guy. I honestly feel that some of the reports bout signal strength are too much hyped. To be honest I've never had any problems with my drone, and flying much farther to actually lose signal more often than not breaks regulations anyway.
Yeah but you would complain if you only reached 200 to 300 m like many are experiencing this is no hype.
I pulled up on the side of a moorland road a few days ago after filming elsewhere and decided to test the range with mine here in the UK.
Mini 3 pro with RC-N1 controller, flew over 1500m just 10m high before losing two bars went up to 50m high to get them back and hit over 2800 before losing 3 bars. I still had full control of the drone so took it up to 120m and got full signal back until I hit a staggering 4182m! Where it dropped down to two bars but again still had full control with no lag, that's a CE model here in the UK, no FCC hack or parabolics etc.
Took a few pictures of the valley below that I never expected to see and returned to home point.
If you know the moorland here in the UK you'll know it's pretty desolate with barely a sole around and certainly no interference from cell phone masts etc.
Thanks for sharing this video, I have seen a video that appears to show signal strength is stronger when the drone is facing away from the remote compare to when the drone is facing the remote control (can demonstrate this when you turn the drone around 180 degrees to face you compare to signal strength when it is facing away from you). Maybe something to do with the position/orientation of the antennas inside the drone?
great video, I think a phone in a chest pocket will be the biggest influence on the signal as you can see the frequency change as you have it next to the remote
I have owned the mini 3 pro with the RC controller since release on the 17 may and I havent experienced much issues with connection loss .. only once have the drone lost connection to the controller and started to return to home but I was 1.6 km away and after 8 sec it reconnected .. I dont tend to fly my drone very far away so when people say that they only can get the drone to go 3 km away and it is not good enough I think it is a bit silly .. sure if you cant even get 300 m away before loosing signal it is a issue but that is not the case in my experience, hopefully dji will come up with upgrades for the drone with software updates
I feel that the mini 3 pro is a MASSIVE upgrade for me since I came from a mini 1 .. that drone was not very fun to fly far away and it would loose signal even within 100 m sometimes! .. Still I loved my mini 1 since it was my first drone ever .. so for me the mini 3 pro with the RC controller feels like a huge upgrade
Mini 3 Pro wins this round. I also turn off my Bluetooth and WiFi when flying. It's just a practice even if I know DJI is one of the safest out there to fly. Thanks for the honest review! Much love from Chicago.
Lol.....can't wait for your next video about your incident again! Hahaha.....10:43
Great video, covering so many aspects which may affect the signal. I've had no issues with mine (also EU spec) and haven't noticed any difference to my Mini 2. Also, there are very few real world scenarios where you need to be more than 500m away and very few people are licensed for BLOS operations 🤷♂️
I know this statement in every DJI group, no one has problems, I am used to such statements. This is not about range, but about connection stability and this is important for entrepreneurs who want to work in the city with the Mini 3. But hey, if everyone says that there is no problem, then it will be, and so DJI does not have to improve.
@@glm-mediaworld DJI doesn't care as long as people keep paying them and the CCP military to support their development of IP thefts.
@@retromodernart4426 Unfortunately correct. Theoritically, DJI could have charged 1500€ for it, people buy it. I'm glad that 90% bought one and with Smarcontroller.
Ok, we are all anxiously waiting to get the story on the drone police from your last vid.
Thanks for the test! I have the same experience with my M3 pro, I flow over 800 meter and had drop outs from 5 bars to 2 bars. A second later the drop outs are ending and I have 4 or 5 bars again. This is annoying
Gavin from GHR channel,did a good test in built up area,flying low& got 300odd meters or so,which was the same with either controller,plus you need really good eyes to maintain vlos at 500m with a 250g drone.🙈🙉🙊👍🤖🐨🎥®️©️™️👌🇬🇧😉
I fly my Mavic Mini and my Mini 2 still waiting for my Mini 3 Pro to arrive.
Mini 2 has a very impressive connection, it feels safe to fly my Mini 2, safer than my Mavic Mini although I fly my Mavic Mini the most!
Sweet
😁
Hi another interesting video! This is my first DJI mini i, i cant work out how to down load the videos etc to my Android Phone and chromebook could you advise me ... Thanks for your help
thanks! would have been interestig to switch to constant 2.4 and 5.8GHz and see what happens then.
I think you must be flying in an area with lots of other radio transmissions as I saw a video from Windswept Robert yesterday who was getting 4Km before he lost signal. He was flying in a remote area of Scotland which is probably free from any strong transmissions from cell phone towers ETC. Thanks for an interesting comparison of normal and flight mode operation. It's similar to what I aim to do with my Mini 2 with my Phone mounted on the controller and comparing it to the performance when it's held in my hand on the end of a 1m cable.
I tell you something Henrik. It's impressive that I see you can get 32-33 satellite's being where you are? I can't even get half of that being where I'm at, in New Jersey USA.
That is a great test, because I've seen a few videos already, and a lot of people are having issues with their drone antenna's.
Thanks for sharing, I thought it was a great video idea. Thanks again my friend. 👍👍👍
That’s because we have access to Galileo constellation in Europe as well
@@TheDeadlyraptor In spite of the loss of Glonass for DJI, does DJI consider Glonass to be 'sensitive' in some way I wonder so they stopped using it? Intriguing..
Can you make a comparison videos between 30 fps and 60 fps in 4k also with HDR turned on and off. It would be also useful if there's in comparison of storage space taken
Great info, can I ask why your RC wasn't showing maps and your position in the bottom lefty corner? Thank you.
It’s ha no data connection and I did not preload the map
The dji drones broadcase on 2.4 and 5.8 ghz. Bluetooth is generally at 2.45 ghz so there is the potential for bleed over in the 2.4 to 2.45 bands. All antennae have a broadcast pattern (i have no idea of what the dji radiation patterns look like) and it's possible based on your orientation between your receiver and broadcaster antennae you will move in an out of areas just based on orientation where the signal is weaker. I predominatly fly non dji fpv systems any my radio/telemetry link runs at 915Mhz and I almost never run into signal interferance however my video is broadcast at 5.8Ghz and it's common to see intermittant signal break up, even in remote places far away from civilization.
Inconclusive as i lose signal in an open environment within 300m and the mini2 was rock solid. Do we know from DJI if things have been turned down
Is there any way with the RC Smart Controller to not fly within the limitations of Europe CE, with say.. a software tweak? Or is it hardware locked?
What happens if you buy the drone in the US and fly it in Europe for example?
DJI Standard Controller (RC-N1) som følger med til Mini2 og AIR2S, den kan vist også bruges til Mini 3
Vil man så ikke kunne bruge den første udgave af Smart Controleren sammen med Mini 3 ?
Den første udgave af Smart Controleren kan jo bruge til både MIni 2 og AIR2S
Yesterday i flew in a highly congested urban area, i could get up to 400-500 meter, same like my mini 2. So no problem here.
I think the biggest problem is that the built in antennas are causing signal problems. Need the antennas to be external for better reception.
Mavik 3 very good
Top tei
Blocking the signal path with your phone did the most change. It would probably have been the same by just putting your hand in front of the antennas.
Just to add people don’t fly drones with the phone in front of the RC laugh out loud
@@Trevtull Well, where would you put the phone if you have the non pro controller?
What if you connect to hotspot and use maps while flying?
DJI had better sort this issue out or I am still buying one.😁😁
in a small citty i could fly like 600 meters before getting interverince.
Hi. My mini3 pro have a very pour range. I am standing 15 meter over waterlevel and fly my drone 500-600 meter out over the ocean, and the signal is very bad. I live in esbjerg Denmark. Can I return my drone for this problem.
F yeah
Unfortunately getting weak signal strength around 400m or beyond in urban
Took my Mini 3 out yesterday for its first flight. I was sadly disappointed in the new RC range and drop outs. I love the convenience with the screen, nicer to hold and looks better all round in my opinion. BUT the range is the same if not slightly worse than my old mini 2…. The reason I went for the Mini 3 was for it to be better, not the same or worse! Not massively impressed so far. Sold my mini 2 for £450, now just paid £1050 for the Mini 3 flymore kit and not seeing much extra value 😢
Must be your area mate, can go over 1000m
Did you have Airplane mode ON or OFF in your RC when you were flying your first flight?
@@DavidDiepAU off
You are not alone. 30% of these units are having the same issue. Please log this with DJI. Expect to have it fixed, replaced, or money refunded. Keep in mind; 70% of the drones work fine, so you will encounter lots of people who think its all in your head. Nope. What you are experiencing is real.
@@chconger sounds like you are recommending giving your name to dji and saying hey I want to fly beyond line of sight against the rules can you help me break rules please?
Hi Henrick, I had a connection loss today with my Mini 2 with no warning just came up red and said connection lost. I had no video to see what was happening so I just had to wait and see if it came home, but it didn't. So I tracked it on the map and found it 400 mts away hanging in a tree with no damage at all. It was my own fault because today I was going to fly down along the river so I set my RTH to only 15 mts high because I did not want it to go to high up where there was trees hanging but then I could see all the power lines swinging down from my place so I put my drone up to see what was happening and did not reset my RTH height and I live in jungle so it only climbed to 15 mts and headed home until it hit a tree. But what I wanted to know is where I can find the screen recording of the flight to have a look at to see what happened. I found it once before but now I can't remember where to find it. Thanks.
Under your profile in the fly app as far as I remember
@@TECHDRONEMEDIA Thanks Henrik but it only shows the map view of the flight not the screen view.
Hi, I just got my mini 3 yesterday. I find the signal to not as good as my mini 2. I have flown in several places that I’ve flown my mini 2 and definitely notice a poor signal on the mini 3.
Please report to DJI. I did a poll in this, and discovered about 30% of these units are faulty. Don't accept this. Your not alone. The more people reporting, the faster the fix from DJI. Request a proper unit or $$ refunded.
Can't wait to see that clown video. Subscribed. 👍👍
🤝😎🤟🏼
Still hesitant to upgrade my mini 1 for the 3. The range now is bad and not sure flying urban it will be a lot better. But the conclusion of your video is, that guy in the bus was the greatest interference. 😂 Waiting for that video.
By the way, I really think DJI capped the range for CE. I saw another video which almost proves that point
The 2 and 3 will be a big upgrade over the 1 in Many ways.
Thanks for the update.
I am a Canadian and my Mini 3 will only fly 450m.
Perhaps they sent me the EU version please explain does your EU version have less range because of regulations.
If so I wonder how I could tell if I have a North American version or EU?
The hardware is the same. The drone/remote detects whether it is in FCC (North America) or CE (European Union and the rest of the world), and then limits the signal strength accordingly.
@@DD-co1zn I guess that's why they asked me to reboot the RC controller. Did that and still limited to 450m. Thanks for you help
@@phillalonde1509 I'm also getting much less range than I should. imo, it's a poor controller/drone as far as signal strength goes. Don't forget that many of the RUclipsrs, like the guy who created this video, are in a cosey relationship with DJI ... They get drones early, get to borrow new drones for weeks and months at a time, etc. So it's not surprising to me that they take the apologist approach to widely reported issues like signal strength. The guy is wearing a tin foil hat in his video thumbnail ... What ? Everyone having signal issues is a conspiracy nut ? Apologist at best, shill at worst.
YMMV.
@@DD-co1zn What would be the criticisms IF this were Autel? (They have their own issues though.)
CE mode in Sweden. I got a really poor connection! Usually I only get 250-300m before the signal breaks up! Unacceptable @dji
@techdronemedia Will you confirm that you have sent me this message?
I pushed my luck a few days ago but I got over 5000m with my rc, it’s the best combination I’ve had from dji so far 👍👍👍
Denmark is almost as flat as the Netherlands buddy 😁
They have sky mountain though. 😂
MM3 pro UK spec. Connection and stability way worse than my MM2. Worst signal drop in a rural area. 500mtrs out. Dropped to one bar red, persisted all the way back to 70mtrs! Mega screen lag. Not impressed. Very unpredictable at best...
I am concluding this is a batch issue. It seems about 30% of the units have serious range issues. I expect a error in the factory that escaped test. What makes it hard for these folks, is that people don't recognize that all the units are not behaving the same. So their experience is written off....
so what about the man in the car, was it the drone police? :)
Video will follow
What on Earth is wrong with people in your area there all suspicious there being watched .
Nice test enjoyed that
Common issue with Danes in this country. (i live in Denmark myself). Nowadays alot of people here is closed mindee, grumpy and quite self-centered. Quite a shame, since we used to have that ol'e title "happiest country in existance". Now you get beef for LOOKING out of place 😂
Not again 👮♀️
440-yard dash (402.336 m)-which is a quarter of a mile and was referred to as the 'quarter-mile'-instead of the 400 m (437.445 yards), though this distance is now obsolete. That's pretty bad 👎 I seen a video of a dji mini se in Phoenix get two and a half miles .
?
A great video, yet again concerning range limitations on the mini 3.
Not yet owning a mini 3, I would like to put forward this theory which might explain some of the limitations in range. This theory is based on my previous training as an electronics technician.
With DJI, encapsulating the antenna on the DJI RC the unit itself could be causing a loss of signal strength with some of the transmitted RF signal been reflected inside the RC. I draw a similarity between the DJI RC and cheap Wifi Routers (often supplied by Telcos). Both of these have internal antenna and connection problems with Wifi routers can be seen in your home. When compared with high end Wifi routers, ( those with external antenna) wifi connection and speed are often increased in the home.
To prove this theory, it would require someone with a second RC controller to modify it and replace the internal antenna with external antennas in a similar fashion to the RC Pro and the mavic mini 1 MR1SS5 controller.
I think having the external antenna will improve the overall range, and users will have fewer signal drop outs and disconnections
This is not only a problem of Mini 3 Pro, but everyone had to be clear by now that DJI (in EU) has throttled the signal. At the moment, some Yuneec models have more range (stability) than DJI, not to mention that a test against any Autel model here would only negatively affect the DJI Mavic 3, Air 2S and Mini 3. Of course, the internal antenna is a loss of signal have this also minimal.
My Mavic pro has much better signal strength and distance. What gives DJI?
Conversely, my Mavic Pro (a 1000 km veteran) does not, compared with my Mini 2, Mavic 3, or Air 2, but they all have more than acceptable range and video feed.
Great video. My question is; “there are so many users reporting range issue has anyone reported this to DJI and if so what is DJI doing about it?”
I think an experienced and well respected RUclipsr such as yourself would have much more success in getting answers from DJI.
I reported it and they gave me 3 page answer about what affects transmission and ce levels etc
@@TheDeadlyraptor Thanks for getting back to me. I would have pushed them further by asking why this is also happening to customers across North America!
@@samavella8831 I am going to formulate a reply the fact 47% users are seeing it and it’s not dependent on RC or RC-N1 suggests some hardware issue in some runs of the drone or firmware issues in them in relation to hardware In them , ie maybe they changed hardware later in some . If it hardware issue then they should recall and replace
@@TheDeadlyraptor Thanks Andrew. That means a lot to us followers when these issues are formally addressed by well respected people as you who are not just users, but very knowledgeable on the product.
Cheers 🥂
Sam
@@TheDeadlyraptor Forgot to mention that I tried to go through their Chat line and told them this very thing regarding the number of users across both Contents having this issue and that some us may never experience it because we do not fly long distance and all the came back with is that they will be there to help when the time comes.
skinwalker is the reason for your interferance....
