Just for you:
• KEN HERON - Phantom 4 ...
Bro started youtube 40yrs later
I'm not saying its bad its even cool like how he's not telling his grandkids about the good o'l days but he's flying with drones instead
Respect bro
I have to say Ken is a great guy and we had a blast.
Yes...ken is a great guy!
Lol... dude seems fun to be with.
Wow. Amazing!
bro yall are the best at drones fam I lile how Ken was so negative about it coming back
I am a huge fan of drones but I don’t have money to buy for this yet 😊😊😊
Got my air 2 a few days ago, great drone!
Ken is hilarious. Love that guy and his humor
A responsible range test. They used a spotter to keep a visual on the drones.
Or they faked it to get the FAA off their ass
Ken, enjoyed the range test. I have a P4P V2.0, and it has Ocusync 2.0. I have flown mine out to 24,500 ft. (Kansas farmland with no interference).
What altitude were you at to achieve 24,500 feet?
Jeff Golden 24,500 🤣🤣🤣
Jeff Golden 392 Ft.
@@w.e.s. he must think hight not range
What fun. Two grown up children having very good safe fun flying drones. Thanks
I see a lot of people making drone videos like this but this one is definitely the funniest
Thank you. 😁
Best thing about your Vids is the humour between friends. Love from Yorkshire.
Excellent work Ken and Co.
The Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 also has The OcuSync 2.0 HD transmission system. Ive gotten over 20,000 feet away on mine, witch is roughly 4miles so it is achievable great video.
Good test video of the max range, I've found I get around 1.7 miles before I start getting signal loss warnings
@Kimberely Happney
Shut-up
@Kimberely Happney #shutup no one cares 😡
ruclips.net/video/xcstV8a2-Io/видео.html
Same here if it's got power lines and trees and not a full sky to make sure it gets signal
I’ve gone 2 miles from me over ocean
Very cool comparison. Thanks for the demonstration
WOW! I just got my mavic air 2 and I love it.
Why is everyone asking you for a drone? Are you santa? 🤣
That's wild. Looks like you're not too densely populated. I flew my MA2 today on lunch and went 15k feet in the city
Wow, that's very impressive!!
Thanks you two that was great and funny too.
Glad you enjoyed it.
You guys are so much fun to watch, not a second of that footage was boring, it was fresh and funny, Good job boys!
I have hit 6 miles with my Mavic Air 2. The battery indicator popped up and started returning to home.
It returned with 22% battery left.
Damn...you’re one brave mad lad.
Awesome, I look forward to my next distance test. I need to find a really calm day. The first test I did was at the beach and it was pretty windy, so I only flew 17,000 ft before the drone said it needed to return because f battery level. But my reception was still perfect, it was cool I flew straight down the surf meeting the sand at about 15 ft high for over 3 miles and I recorded it. I love my Air 2, it’s not overrated, it’s really a capable drone.
Thank you! I enjoy everyone of your videos 😊✌🏽
Awesome video Ken. And thank you for having a spotter and showing the RIGHT way to do a range test. There’s another RUclipsr that doesn’t do that. He sets a bad example. Love that you use spotters in other videos too. And I’ve also seen the other video demonstrating how to go under a bridge. That’s a good one too.
Glad you enjoyed it, Mark!
Scary part.. the military has had this technology for more than 20 years.
Imagine what they are hiding now
In fact Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. died during his suicide mission. The plane he was in was wired to the hilt with explosives, he was to bail out and then the plane would be piloted remotely and steered into a German munitions factory, it went badly. JFK had to step in and be groomed to be the first Irish Catholic president.
That new Mavic Air 2 is a great drone, and I'm not surprised it won the range test. I'd go ahead order one.
You guys are hilarious, “ did the wife approve the purchase?!”😂😂 Nice flying!!
I am glad I found you. Very informative videos and you are funny.
Thanks for that guys, that was awesome
You bet!
Guys hi. Greetings from the Czech Republic in the western part. Europe. I really like your drone range video. You bought good and quality drones.I like your joy of flying.
actually czech is kindda east compare to france and germany!
Great vid!! Just got my air 2! Excited that it can fly safely and get me some great shots. Thanks guyz!
Congrats!
that was the most aggressive landing/disarming ive ever seen 🤣🤣🤣
That was fun. Thanks. Yesterday, I was filming a bridge and ended up dumping my Mavic Mini into the stream. Thank goodness they are cheap. I looked at the Air2 for a replacement, but it is a lot of cash to lose. Perhaps, I need to be more careful. I have a second Mavic Mini already so it is not the end of my flying. I will decide in the next couple of days on upgrading or replacing. Good fun all around. TTYL...
They are totally repairable.
Id suggest robb at thunderdrones in daluth Georgia, he's my super geek that fixes anything, and reasonable. You have to crash to find the limits sometimes.
very good video , at 15000 feet there was still no glitching , nice drone , Cheers Ken for sharing this video
Love these videos and the Ken Heron humor. Flying around my place sucks. So many airports and military bases and busy roads. I try and follow all the rules.
it sounds like you and your drones need to take a road trip, lol.
@@DJSOULFORCE Agreed, not to just get the time and money. 😁
I didn't notice until the end that you guys were by the Discovery Park. Awesome!
I just upgraded from the spark, I'm happy to see these results.
Me too. Just got the MA2.
Saving for a compatible phone, then flying!
Great video man 👌👌✅
Not sure why this video is so enjoyable but I’ve watched it a few times now lol.
Bruh
Very very cool range battle. Nice use of spotter too with walkie talkies. Quite impressive, Ken. I love my Mavic Air 2 but love my P4 and Mini too. Kudos to you, Campbell and Joe.
Excited to buy mavic air 2 this december also this december will be 1st anniversary with my mavic mini 😊😊😊😊
Love my little air 2. It’s pretty impressive. Great video again Ken.
I have the Phantoms ,the Inspire,but my Mavic Air 2 is just a beauty and a beast.
Nice landscape! 9:00 is my favorite shot! You have a good time in your drone battle. Looking forward to seeing more. Thanks for posting.
So glad you did a retest with the Mavic air 2.. because my Mavic mini will do 3.4 miles easily........ :)
Sean Doer if he pointed the antennas the right way I’m sure he could of gone a lot farther dispite him having to turn back based on LOS
3.4 miles total or 3.4 straight out and 3.4 back (6.8 total)
Ken I appreciate that you had multiple VOs on this. I made an earlier comment without watching the whole video first. My bad. Thanks Ken keep up the good work.
No worries my friend!🤓👍
I think those two are really good friends..
Im replying to this vid from the year 2034....just got the new DJI OCCU SYNC 9+plus+. Just did a range test and made the crossing with the DJI Albatrose...Trans atlantic crossing!!! or 3200miles with only 4 of the 6 availible batteries!!! This was using way points and the adjustable telescoping wingspan while in flight from standard 4ft to 8ft. The AI feature that searches for jet streams while looking for Up Drafts or collums of lift is supurb 👍🏻. Cant wait till 2036 and the new DJI LEO (Low Eart Orbit) Globe Soarer!!. My friend in New Zealand wont have to wait 2 weeks for the mail from me as i can get it there in 2-3 days with the new dji space plane!!! and OCCU SYNC UNLIMITED+++++++++++😮+++++++++😮!!! 1.3billion!!!.
🤓👍
Awesome range test Ken. I'm loving my Mavic Air 2. Have a great weekend and remember those that died for our Freedoms!
You as well, Rodney!
🇺🇲
Real chemistry on this team. More videos of this team please!
3:29 and 6:30 . Is exactly how I feel everytime I bring the drone back home. The nerves kills me even though it was a successful flight. Everywhere we fly we have to worry about Karen's, Cops, I'll informed idiots about drone laws,asshole birds and finally no go zones. It's nerve wrecking. Lol
They're both using Ocusync 2.0 - if anything (and providing you get your antenna orientations correct) the P4P has a hard limit of 17.9km videio transmission whereas the Air 2 is limited to 11km so at least in theory the P4P could be pushed much further. Throw in the P4P's more robust powetrain and its more likley to make it home in stronger wind conditions vs the AIr 2. Still both great little quads, cant go wrong with either!
I use the air 2S and range is definitely limited below 150ft. To get the most out of the range I’d fly around 300ft or more.
Awesome video !! Thank you for sharing !
Ken amazing video this shows that our P4p still on top to compete 👍
Heck yeah!
loved this vid since 2022. enjoyed every second of it
Awesome thanks! 😊
nice video bro
Great one, I loved it. Mavic air 2 is the new Champ in Town.
Now two years later, you can get the Air 2 fly more combo for under $800. Defiantly not the latest, greatest technology, but a damn fine drone nonetheless.
Great job guys
Really interesting video. Great job
Thanks
Great video! You guys made this very entertaining and fun to watch. Thumbs up for the *Electric Boogaloo* statement! Surprise that you even know of it..lol
OK, I can vouch for the 15,000 feet - I actually went just over 17,000 at the Oregon Coast just 4 weeks ago. My Mavic Air 2 still had a good signal when the safety system kicked in and decided it needed to turn and start home to insure there was adequate battery to get there. Weird, it quit at about 17,000 ft but still showed 60% battery level. I still had 35% power when it returned home. I’m thinking the drone was gauging the power requirement based on the initial flight north along the surf, where it was flying against a pretty steady southern wind. Not sure. Bottom line this is my 3rd Drone and it is awesome - My first drone was a Parrot Beebop 2, then had the Parrot Anafi, both were great in there own right and for their respective cost. Parrot makes some really good drones also and at pretty reasonable prices. But I gotta say, the DJI Mavic Air 2 is at another level. Great drone design, very durable, great distance, great reception, great camera, great flexibility, great software. It’s just plain fun to fly and goof around with. It makes a 62 year old man like me feel like a kid again. Which I sure noticed was the case with these two fellas. Good job guys I enjoyed the video. Thanks
Thanks chucky. Im still not sure which drone to get, the mavic air 2 or the mini 2 :/ i cant decide
@Rommie Peso - The Red & Black Pill Antidote you whipper snapper
Which one to buy? What a KENundrum.
You didnt adjust the antenna for the air 2 correctly
Good stuff Ken!
I love how obsessed you guys are at keeping it in sight, not going over cars, etc. you realize like nobody actually cares about that right?
You... are an idiot.
Ken Heron no, I’m just not delusionally paranoid or a terrible pilot.
@@ThunderfallFilms Have fun with those FAA fines pal
Patrick Hofeld I have never met anyone stupid enough to get fined by the FAA for anything drone related. Stay out of no-fly zones, and be careful, and you’ll be fine. Do you honestly think they have FAA employees watching live satellite feeds seeing if a drone operator temporarily lets their drone out of sight? Get real.
@@ThunderfallFilms you miss the whole point. If you are flying for yourself, maybe no risk, but it would not be wise to document in a publicly available video your infringement of drone laws. Good luck defending yourself in court. These guys do it by the book because this video is evidence.
This was a fun video thanks for the upload 😊
Hey watching this video was the best because I saw two friends having the time of their lives :) Thanks for the education I have a phantom 4 pro lol
Glad you enjoyed it Corey!😁
@@kenheron :)
I am currently using the DJI mini 2 and I have noticed on range testing that i got better distances when using the compass located in the corner of the map screen. If I am facing the east and flying out around 1000 feet and make a turn with the drone and my controller is still facing the same direction I will lose signal. But when using my compass I can see the direction of the drone and it allows me to point my antenna in the same direction as the drone which will allow me to get a better signal and go further. It also helps to fly in an area where their is little or no interference such as wifi or radio or tv towers. Actually it’s hard to find an area like that unless you are in the dessert or somewhere. But if you can find an area just open land that is a couple miles long you will have better results. Personally for me I live in the mountains of West Virginia and I can’t find any area that is open like that so just flying in an area with interference I usually lose signal around 6 to 8000 feet also. But using the compass really helped me point my antenna towards my drone and it did increase my range. I have enjoyed watching your videos. Keep flying and have a great day.
Those intelligent flight batteries drop down to around 55% or so if you fully charged them but say leave them sit in your storage bag to 2 days or so before you fly again those batteries self deplete. Some people do not realize this but it is a failsafe and should make the batteries last longer.
ruclips.net/video/ffT-abOkJyk/видео.html
Totally right, it’s 2 or 3 days after charging and the battery level drops to around 60%. I read somewhere it is designed that way for safety.
Just recenlty picked up one myself....loved it so much bought a tellos for inside the house.
same here i got the mavic air 2,,what you purchased?
I want a this sort of retirement, making videos with friends and having fun
That's a good plan!
0:46 I do the lip sinc thing too!! 😂😂😂
Don't worry Ken, in high winds our Phantom 4 still rules!
Bizarius1 well the P4 does weigh double the air 2 so I’d expect it to be better in high winds
These guys really follow the laws.
Great video Ken. Damn DJI for making new better drones, and making us wanting to buy them!!!
Indeed!
u both make it quite fun to test the range...occusync rocks!! owning a Mavic Mini and soon will have MA2 ....This is really impressive. take care Ken n fren...keep rockin'
ruclips.net/video/wpe3Smcv920/видео.html
😂 As always i love 💗 and enjoy your videos my drone brother Ken. You are great at what you do and your Humor is fantastic Sir. I am looking into buying the Dji Phantom Pro V 2.0, but is very pricey. However i have the Dji Mavic Air 2 and i love ❤️ it. Thanks sooo much for sharing this great video with us brother Ken. Please keep those good videos coming Sir. Have a great weekend Captain 👨✈️ Ken. Thanks for all you do and please keep flying.
Why do you keep the RC pointed to the sky and not to the drone? I can bet that everybody is doing the same mistake.
Agree, it's also written down in the manual!
I've not had the privilege of meeting ken but he is a great guy , awesome vid ken , waving a hand from the uk, you guys are well , much love fella .
Hello to you my friend!👋
@@kenheron ,class guy you ken, never fail to bring a smile , great content as always pal, . I have the phantom 4 ,, not a great fan of mavic, but hey each to their own , be well ken :)
Just saying if you fly it below the tree line it’s not going to have good signal
Blame the laws of physics. Trees attenuate the signal, unless you massively increase transmitted power that problem will always be with you, and drones don't have that option open to them.
I started laughing my head off when he voiced “Please check it on the map”😂
The Mavic air 2 did not randomly disconnect, it was your phone disconcerting from the controller.
*connecting
Okay I had to like after me thinking the video ended and then him saying sike
The mavic air 2 is very Dope I just received mines
It's a great one!👍
Awesome man!! That little mavic air 2 is amazing!! Stay safe! ✋
in the first attempt, the drone disconnected because it was too low above the ground - I think
This battle was awesome ! I thought you guys were going to race......Mavic Air 2 wins !
I would love to see you guys fly this same route and do a range test of the original Mavic Pro, which I think was the bird that introduced the Occusync system(?) not sure about the facts. But as far as myself, I'm a very conservative shopper and so far, have refused to buy any other Mavic since buying the original... No Mavic 2, No Zoom, No AIR (yet!!) I'm really tempted to buy the Mavic Air2, very impressive drone. Thanks guys!!!
I LOVE my Air 2. I've had it since launch and this drone has been my favorite so far.
New subscriber here. 🙋🏻♂️ I must say that I really love your channel. Your content is not only interesting l, but also very funny. Instant fan. 👍🏼
Hey thank you, Radames!
Altitude does matter ..
Our flight crew has already managed with Phantom P4 2.0 to reach a point at 6800 meters, totaling 13,600. flight mtrs. I took the risk myself and went to 5800. mtrs without problems. São Paulo Brazil
Now try this with the air 2s vs the Newest Dji Phantom :)
Ken you don’t need to tip the drone on hand catch , just keep the left stick down and rotors will stop with no strain on the motors
That's right, but that's less spectacular on video!
But i did 6.5 kilometres with the Mavic air 2
great view, very beautiful
I like how most think that more battery would have changed the range by some galaxies. The mavic has punny antennas just like the ones who believe in it.
Dang!!! I like you guys, y’all kept me cracking up when I was seeking on RUclips at 5:00 in the morning, I’m facing the same situation with the wife when she finds out I got the Air 2, 😳😁
😁👍
Hey Ken after the firmware update 01.00.22.00 on the phantom 2 pro v2.0 it became also ocusinc 2.
Couple dads out having fun! Love it!
Don't you wish any children on me. I've avoided them this long!
I was just wondering when you returned with the magic air 2 the last time... the remaining battery percent?
Gotta love that Phantom! Thank You Ken for another entertaining and informative video.👍👍 You REALLY GOTTA LOVE the Air 2!!
