      Dustin Dunnill you help people see/understand how those devices will behave in extreme conditions... which should reduce a lot the number of flyaways...
      Your videos are very long, but you are explaining why/how you proceed and it is very didactic... actually they are not long at all, they are filled with knowledge, good practices, nice experiments which made them very interesting. Simple advices to always going away against the winds, or to avoid WiFi interferences from populated areas have probably avoided hundreds of dangerous situations... they made me fly my own Disco (first thing I fly besides planes) safely enough to avoid losing it or endanger anyone, while enjoying the actual pleasure of the freedom you feel while flying...
      Thank you mate.

      If you have tail wind on return trip I highly disagree, its calculations are based on zero wind, not calculating head or tail wind. A safety margin is programmed for a light headwind back to home when 67%is reached on battery remaining.

    Have to admit, I was chewing my own nails watching your Mavic dive in just over those power lines... but then that crash aaaahhh! So surprised absolutely no damage, and pushed the envelope past 4 kms (I'm over hear in Ontario Canada so we're stuck with metric, but ya my stock DJI Mavic Mini user manual states it'll fly out to 4 kms (or) 2.48 miles, you managed 5.48 kms (or) 3.4 miles! Well done, great flight path chosen, absolutely no cross roads or dwellings, overall a 5-star video IMO. Five thumbs up bud!
    PS: I do have one suggestion however, not sure if the RTH mode was part of your distance test, but cancelling it out using the round red X icon on your mobile screen and manually RTH would stop that annoying beeping you'd mentioned, also you might have used that same red X icon to cancel the forced landing mode I believe (it still would've crashed mind you) but the close call with the power lines may have been avoided. All in all still AWESOME work, well done!

    I have been looking for an entry-level drone and wondered about range even though my intended use would be much shorter, you convinced me I have nothing to worry about. For the price and image quality, I don't see anyone beating the Mini for a while. As a pilot of general aviation aircraft, it comes with the territory to have range anxiety. It brings back memories, I used to have a house on the water's edge in Makena in the 1980s. My home was on the northern California coast and did not get back to Maui often enough to justify the cost of it sitting unused 90% of the time. Now I live in St Petersburg Russia, a beautiful city that is perfect for drone footage.
