Good stuff. Gives me a lot of confidence. The furtherest I have flown so far over water was 1300 ft. And that was scary. Love the dog at the end going nuts over the drone.
When returning home and you have the actual "return to home" function enabled hold the right stick forward instead of doing 17 miles an hour back you'll do 29 you get home a lot faster and it doesn't kill your battery like it would if you were in sport mode..... I always always do this I do it with my mavic Pro...(instead of rth 22 i get 31mph) same with my p4p too.. you will also stay in return to home mode so it's not like pressing the right stick will take you out of it figured this trick out a few years ago I always tell everybody about it it's nice LOL.. you can actually get a little more range out of it because you're saving leg on the way home so you can take it a little farther... anyways this is especially helpful if winds started to pick up on your way home you will get a little more speed.. nice Run tho! :)
This is good to know. I thought that touching the controller sticks might terminate RTH. Right stick forward means full nose-down tilt. I take it the left stick throttle should not be touched during RTH?
great test - i am in the city so i don't get nearly as far distance. I would be scared to try the 4k run, but I love that the advertisements aren't lying for the product. thanks!
Very nice demonstration of the Mavic Air's ability! Where I live there is a lot of water and I am trying to get up the nerve to fly along the coastline but I think I will wait until I am more skilled with my Air. I know it's easy to fly but I am not much of a risk taker (yet). Thumbs up to you!
Great test Eric! My P4 with stock antenna I've hit 3.1 miles before I lost my video feed. Over the water seems to carry the signal farther, but makes me nervous! I have pushed it out and lost all signal, the time that it takes to go into auto RTH, and waiting to get a connection again, seems like an eternity! Range test flying into the wind on the way out sounds like common sense, but I've seen too many videos where guys haven't did that, so that is a great tip brother!
That's awesome bro...I finally just got me a Mavic Air and I'm crazy about it for real. I thought my Bebop 2 was bad ass...and it was but the MA blows it out the water.
Fantastic test and thank you ! I have an Air and I live out of the city , every time I try get some distance from about 400 meters I start getting ALL sorts of warning ! Lost connect etc etc so I say Stuff this I am turning around !! I have never got to 500 without it saying Connect lost etc , very very nerve wracking , let alone 4000 meters
Maybe this is dumb question. But did you check both the controller and the aircraft for firmware updates. Someone on a different channel was having those same issues and firmware updates corrected it. So I thought I would mention it. Also I noticed my spark has that type of issue if I don’t but my phone in airplane mode, I suspect the Bluetooth from the phone causes some interference. I could be way off base on that as I’m absolutely no expert, but simply putting my phone into airplane mode cleared up the interference. I wish you only the best of luck getting your range issues sorted out though.
I got goose bumps by watching this video. :) I've Just Bought myself a Mavic Air, and one thing is reading its cappabilities in a piece of paper, but seeing it for real is a totally different thing. Thanks for the video. Greetings from Portugal.
Nice video, I have to disagree about getting maximum range and not using sport mode, the increased speed gets more distance than the same amount of battery drain in p-mode. At least when it comes to my mavic air. I honestly got 16200 feet under ideal conditions with no wind , I reversed the drone rather than turning it around returning until I figured it wouldn’t lose signal turning around , they seem to get better reception facing away from the controller, I also used a set of those antenna boosters that slide over the antenna, it landed with 11 percent battery left, I normally don’t push my battery past 20 percent though, I range tested once out in the middle of no where with perfect weather conditions. I think it would have went further, but I was down to 54 percent battery, it was a nerve racking last 3 or 4 thousand feet, it’s why I never repeated any type of range test, I was also not educated on the visual line of site rule , so I stick to 4 to 5 hundred feet now days.
Nice, maybe not a good idea to do range tests over water though in case it struggles to get back? Buying one of these as an upgrade to the spark. Still small and compact but oh so much better.
I made sure I stayed right along the coast in case I needed to land the coast was nearby I would not recommend testing over water if there is no land nearby.
True Drone Reviews for what you pay for the drone with all them features who cares about the range and you are breaking the law it is not line of sight and don't say it is beacuse it's not lol
Awesome, now if i could just move to where you live all would be great. Lol. I live in Philadelphia and I'm truly lucky to get 2000ft without rth that's On a good day. My mavic doesn't do much better at about 6000ft before rth. LOL. With that being said i absolutely still love this mavic air simply for the portability of the drone. It goes everywhere with me now. Awesome video. Thx friend Michael
PhillyDroneLife Michael D I got 11,000ft one way over congested Central Florida. Had my signal stayed strong it would of went a little bit further BUT the battery would not of made it home. I landed with 10%. Altitude 300ft 5-10mph wind, flew out against and returned with. That’s the limit for my particular Air.
Donald Martim. He is filming in 1080/30fps, using screen capture on his phone so he is probably only showing a 720p image, add RUclips compression = poor picture quality but the purpose of the demo was range. At the end he says he will post the full 4k footage in a separate video so give that a look.
I'm sorry, but I OCD about this stuff but it's DJI and not DGI, I know you know this but the way you pronounce it is making me go crazy! But great video man good job!
two things I noticed. First, you came home slower although you were RTH with the wind. I'd try to cancel RTH next time and fly it back manually (if connection is good). Second you craft seem to fly forward with 30° to the right of the craft. You can see that in your flight path, because the red arrow is not pointing in the flight direction.
Tobias Tesching yes I did notice the tilt maybe due to only having 7 sats I guess rth speed is slower than Just manually flying but all in all a success she came back to me! Thanks for Watching please like share and subscribe
Jeff Rzepka never do sports mode on the way home ever that kills your battery way faster if you want a little more speed while it's in return to home mode push the right stick forward it will net you a little more speed without killing your battery it won't take you out of return to home either it will keep you in return to home mode
Very interesting. But... letting the machine blow up sand so it'd easily get into the drone, into the motor housings.... The sand grains were visibly dancing up/down in front of the camera after touchdown.
Gavin Sparkie lee I would say it depends on what you want it for if you want range and more camera control I would say mavic pro if you want cool easy shots and small portable anywhere drone I would say mavic air however I think the mavic pro handles wind better
The battery is what limits this drone. I couldn’t go past 11,000ft at 350ft alt. Over central Florida with a mild wind. That’s impressive 13,123feet, I wish these had a little bit more battery life.
mgr5550 this was fixed with firmware update I have not experienced the off gimble since update there was high wind that day which I believe contributed to this error
That's a hard question to answer and determine because there is a lot of variables depending on different multi path environments and Wi-Fi strengths etc. I will tell you that 5.8 GHz should out perform 2.4 in a higher Wi-Fi interference area
If you are not filming - why do you have your Histogram up and masking the view to the Distance while a range test ? you can close it or move it around out of sight. There is no need to go up to 117 m if you want to reduce the impact of the wind on your aircraft.
After about 90 charges on my batteries...I'm now getting 14 to 15 minutes max flight time. I guess the battery capacity depletes over time... mine are not puffy and have no issues charging...I just believe I need a new battery for the best results with a range test. Would you recommend the same?
@@edrone_ ...love all your stuff man ...great content and full of valuable info. I'm a couple years behind with getting the Air,but I'm loving it along with the rediculous amount of other quads I have. May I ask how many charges should I expect from the batteries with continued proper care? Am I probably halfway through their life expectancy with about 90 charges on all 3? Thank you for your response.
@@droneready8278 thanks for the kind words I would say you are probably halfway through the lifespan of those batteries. Typically most dji batteries last 2 or 3 years not sure how many charges you can get but keep your eye on puffiness and flight time if you notice a great decrease time to replace.
Petarboom it's 500 meters in the app, unless you are recording footage of something that is over 400 feet tall this is well over legal FAA regulated 400 feet in the United States
Thank you very much! Here in Spain we have very similar (if not the same) restrictions. The maximum altitude is 120m above ground level, or 120m above the highest obstacle within a radius of 150m (500 ft). The purpose of my question is that I want the drone to climb a canyon which is 400m high from the river at the bottom, maintaining an altitude of 30m AGL during the climbing. Than you again!
I’ve never flown over 500m with my Mavic Air.. the image transmission gets interrupted quite often.. perhaps it’s the urban area I constantly fly in.. nice range test btw!!
Thanks a lot. I was wanting to buy the honor 7x phone just for flying exclusively. But Ive heard a few people say on forums that the honor 7x doesn't play DJIGo4 well. Any idea if a particular version of Android is not too compatible with DJI Go4 ?
@@mgr5550 not sure I do know that most of the android flagship phones like Samsung galaxy series moto x series and google pixel phones usually work pretty well I think it may tell you on the app in the playstore what operating systems are compatible
Sebastian Asia so north will always be facing up when looking at your screen so if the arrow is facing right and down some it means wind is blowing south east
edrone i am not sure if i understood it but you say i can find it out in the app on the map where north is. that makes sense because i think the app has also a compass somehwere. thank you for the tipp. i learned something new today ☺👍
Jon BJ on the way home you can get a little more speed so if you hit return to home instead of doing 17 miles an hour, hold the right stick forward and you will do 29 miles per hour pretty sweet... all while still in return to home mode
You are awesome dude, I can’t even reach 600 meters in my city Dubai, and I can’t go higher than 250 meters right top of my head with auto mode, what would you suggest me to do? I’m pretty disappointed with the range of my first drone 🙁
Mohd Yahya so from what I have seen FCC seems to do better for range than CE now I'm not condoning this but if you must there are videos out there to "trick" your phone into thinking you are in the United States so you can fly in FCC mode and get the range happy flying and good luck
edrone thank you so much for the reply, let me try to trick my iPhone with FCC, but I’m wondering why FCC isn’t available for the rest of the world? Anyway thanks for your help,. Have a great day 😀
Sorry, missed that. Such a handy app. Seemed a lot stronger. What elevation to you have that wind speed at? I put mine at 308 ft. On my version of that app it show the elevation you set it at.
8/ms is slow going.... it would come back faster not in RTH mode. then if you put it in atti mode, it will come back even faster. 8ms is way to slow, mavic air should be able to cruz with the wind at 15-20ms in normal mode, atti 20-25ms. basiclly your using more battery at 8ms flowing with the wind, than say 20ms going with the wind just due to the amount of time your in the air.

How you liking the mavic air so far Eric? Any tips I should know about it? Thanks
Big drone flyer77 loving it! Tip I can tell you is make sure you get extra batteries and do all the firmware updates and it flies awesome
edrone gotcha, thanks so much brother
Great flight, but focus seemed to get fuzzy & losing detail in the video during the return to home. Was there fogging on the camera lens surface?
I believe it was the screen recorder app resolution was not very high
Very interesting. But... letting the machine blow up sand so it'd easily get into the drone, into the motor housings.... The sand grains were visibly dancing up/down in front of the camera after touchdown.
Ian Gourlay yeah I'll use landing pad now luckily no damage as of now
What would you get out of the mavric pro or the mavric air? The pro is getting old tech and definitely needs a update.
Gavin Sparkie lee I would say it depends on what you want it for if you want range and more camera control I would say mavic pro if you want cool easy shots and small portable anywhere drone I would say mavic air however I think the mavic pro handles wind better

Can you do a similar video but with the new Mavic Mini?
Unfortunately i will not be getting the mavic mini but i have ordered the skydio 2 stay tuned!
Thanx for using metric system!!! 👍🏻
The mavic AIR is good to fly within and around your home. 1 Long distance flight and look at the gimbal position. Its whacked to the left.
mgr5550 this was fixed with firmware update I have not experienced the off gimble since update there was high wind that day which I believe contributed to this error
Yeah it not only went awry it even got stuck in that position for such a long time.
What is the range capability for using 5.8 GHz in a environment that’s crowded with fixed structures and signal interference?
That's a hard question to answer and determine because there is a lot of variables depending on different multi path environments and Wi-Fi strengths etc. I will tell you that 5.8 GHz should out perform 2.4 in a higher Wi-Fi interference area
If you are not filming - why do you have your Histogram up and masking the view to the Distance while a range test ?
you can close it or move it around out of sight.
There is no need to go up to 117 m if you want to reduce the impact of the wind on your aircraft.
please do a safe test where there's interference ::)

Are you runing your Mavic Air on CE or FCC mode? That may be the root of the issue
Can anyone tell me what app it is that is used that informs you of wind speed and if it’s good to fly. Many Thanks guys

Hi what phone are you using with the AIR remote and what OS of android is it ?
Samsung galaxy s8 plus with oreo operating system
Thanks a lot. I was wanting to buy the honor 7x phone just for flying exclusively. But Ive heard a few people say on forums that the honor 7x doesn't play DJIGo4 well. Any idea if a particular version of Android is not too compatible with DJI Go4 ?
@@mgr5550 not sure I do know that most of the android flagship phones like Samsung galaxy series moto x series and google pixel phones usually work pretty well I think it may tell you on the app in the playstore what operating systems are compatible
how can i find out which direction is against the wind? often its not easy to find the correct direction.
Sebastian Asia I use the UAV forecast app it is normally pretty accurate however wind can change direction anytime
edrone i have the same app but if it shows south how do i know where is south without having a compass?
Sebastian Asia so north will always be facing up when looking at your screen so if the arrow is facing right and down some it means wind is blowing south east
edrone i am not sure if i understood it but you say i can find it out in the app on the map where north is. that makes sense because i think the app has also a compass somehwere. thank you for the tipp. i learned something new today ☺👍
Push right stick up and gain speed on RTH! Just sayin...
How was your test with 5.8ghz? wich is better to fly with?
Tommy Sanabria Lol still have not done that test I plan on it soon
In which country fly and or drone in mode
FC / FCC?
United States FCC
Obstacle avoidance on or off do not affect speed, unfortunately...
Jon BJ I meant to say apas mode when turned off it is faster
edrone yeah, thats true. But its unfortunate that you can not get a little more speed in GPS with OA off, as you do with other DJI drones.
Jon BJ yes I agree it is unfortunate
Jon BJ on the way home you can get a little more speed so if you hit return to home instead of doing 17 miles an hour, hold the right stick forward and you will do 29 miles per hour pretty sweet... all while still in return to home mode
An American using the metric system? 😀
what firmware version are you using?
.0300
Did you focus the camera ? It looks blurred.
It's the screen recorder app I had the resolution too low I fixed this later after a couple videos
Ok , thanks

edrone thank you so much for the reply, let me try to trick my iPhone with FCC, but I’m wondering why FCC isn’t available for the rest of the world? Anyway thanks for your help,. Have a great day 😀
Auto Rth takes more battery than flying back in sport mode
That may be true but I feel rth will bring you back the shortest distance if you are unsure
What if someone calls your phone while your in flight ?
I always try to put my phone on airplane mode when flying
I just saw a guy who made 15000 after he did a firmware update on his Mavic Air
What was the wind speed at the time of the test?
1:34
Sorry, missed that. Such a handy app. Seemed a lot stronger. What elevation to you have that wind speed at? I put mine at 308 ft. On my version of that app it show the elevation you set it at.
swooshdave mine does sometimes
So do you mind sharing what elevation it's set at?
swooshdave I just set the elevation to 315 feet got it now thanks I did not realize you could change

8/ms is slow going.... it would come back faster not in RTH mode. then if you put it in atti mode, it will come back even faster. 8ms is way to slow, mavic air should be able to cruz with the wind at 15-20ms in normal mode, atti 20-25ms. basiclly your using more battery at 8ms flowing with the wind, than say 20ms going with the wind just due to the amount of time your in the air.
Was it CE or FCC? Where you are located?
RimasRS FCC located in United States
edrone do you know how different it would be using CE mode. I mean half of it or...?
RimasRS not sure I have never flown in CE mode because CE mode is for different country
edrone thanks. Would likento see data sheet how much dbi in fcc comparing with ce
RimasRS I have heard FCC can go further
