when I do recording or facebook like I get lil over 10mins befor the battery is at 10% , it's this normal?
iv only had the drone for 2 days now

You should get more than that. Something doesn’t sound right.

should I just return it then to amazon?

I assume you meant "recording for facebook likes" right? Even if you're recording, you should get around 20 minutes of flight time.

I'm recording and flying with facebook live on at the same time , and yes I was flying in sport mode.
I do have both  firmware up to date.

there was no wind

  How many flights have you done yet?  Did the battery show 100% at the beginning of your flight?

And at how many percents is your "critical battery warning" and "low battery warning" set to?

Firstly, your drone should be on the ground and switched off around 15% - your battery won’t last for very long if you continuously fly it until it hits a critical warning level.
Secondly, for the Mavic Pro landing on 15% from taking off on 100% your average flight time should be around 22 minutes. In heavier winds, switching in and out of Sport mode, recording in higher resolutions and using the intelligent flight modes will deplete the battery faster as will colder temperatures. That said, 10 minutes on a Mavic Pro is less than half the flight time I’d expect.

critically low is set at 10%
low battery warning is at 15%
I never fly it out of sight yet so that's why I have them set to where there at

iv done about 5 flights so far , every time I fly the battery is at 100%

i fly sport mode almost all the time and my battery lasts between 13 and 18 min - sport mode definately uses battery faster - if live streaming also uses some extra battery then it sounds like it could be about right - but i guess it depends on 2 things 1, does live streaming use battery power and 2. how much is a lil over ten mins

well I charged the battery up to 100% today and tested with no video recording or live streaming and it did last up to 20mins @ 15% when I shut it down so I guess that's good lol,
another thing is I live in las vegas , is there a lot of interference in a city like this one? I cant get the drone to fly out past 1000 feet, when ever I get to like 1000 or so I get sign lost and hd loss on the controller know matter what way I fly ,east west north south .

Are you flying the Mavic Air or Mavic Pro ?

Yep My bad!

I would expect Facebook Live to put a drain on your phone's battery, not your AC.

You should set your LOW battery alarm at 30% or a little higher, so that you have plenty of time to get back once you are alarmed.  Hopefully, when the low battery alert goes off, you'll already be expecting it.  Personally, I set low at 35 and critical at 10.
