My experience with (2) Inspire 2's over the last year and a half is that I've never gotten remotely close to the advertised distances. The absolute furthest I've gotten before losing transmission was right about a mile (1609m) but that was in the middle of nowhere among the windmill farms in western Oklahoma. Most other times I start getting a glitchy signal and eventually transmission loss between a 1/2 mile to 3/4 of a mile.(804m - 1207m) which as you said is just a fraction of the advertised distance. For me, it hasn't affected business since Part 107 requires line of sight, but I know other would like to have that ability to fly further. There are videos on YouTube showing Mavics out flying Inspire 2's by vast differences, so it's not isolated issues.
Thanx for the info. Did you fly with 2.4ghz? custom channel and how many mbit transmission?
should I always use custom channels instead of auto?
Yes true about the LOS rules etc. I just wanted to get what i´m paying for you know. I had the mavic pro before. Thats why im so frustrated. Like you I´m getting glitches around 6-800m aswell. Thats not cool, I mean its allot of money in the air.
When mine start to glitch out its not like the bars of transmission goes down gradually. Its like all bars to none in matter of seconds, the picture gets toned down on the crystalsky and then no transmission or anything. RTH kicks in and after a while I get picture back again.
the money spent on the gear, its not cool at all. Dont feel comforatble yet with the maschine for doing serious jobs yet.
