6 batteries.  Battery info below. And thank you

Battery#1 116 Charges

And all 6 are still working as they should? wow i wondered about what to look for in battery life. Thank you for the info! I only have 30 or so on both of mine. A few of them were to keep them alive lol

One more thing. Are your RC(s) still charging and working as expected? This is good info i think
I had the 5 position button fall out on one of my RC's and i glued it back in and looks like new again. Seems they are built pretty good.

Yes all work as expected but of course with a little less battery life as expected.  My guess and is just a guess 5% to 10% less life?  Does not bother me.  If I absolutely need that extra minute or so flight time I will just use my newer batteries.  

And yes my RC still charges and works as expected.  Never an issue.  I can probably get 8 flights without needing to recharge the RC.

Good performances about lifetime
Thanks

Thank you very much.  Hoping to get many more miles with it as well.  Thank you for the kind words.

You truly have my very best wishes to achieve it!

SparksBird Posted at 2018-7-23 08:57
Thank you.  Hope you are able to get the Inspire 2 my friend.  Even though larger and not as mobile as the MP or MA but what you can get out of it makes it worth it.  One day hopefully I will be able to get one.

            

Congratulations.
That is 10,560,000 ft. I need 10,215,026 more feet to catch you.

Amazing!! DJI should hire you asa test pilot.
Seriously, good on ya. And I have to agree with you about the mavic being a Very special drone.  I really love mine.

Many more safe miles to you !!

SparksBird Posted at 2018-7-23 08:56

Would not mind at all especially if they would send me an inspire 2 to test out

Thank you yeah these are amazing drones that is for sure.  Happy and safe flying.

No problem and what I like about the site airdata how it keeps track for me of the batteries and other info.  Very handy.  

I got 800 miles out of mine before I sold it.

Very nice.  And you still have the MPP?

SparksBird Posted at 2018-7-23 17:40
Very nice.  And you still have the MPP?

Sold that too when july 18 was announced and just recently sold my I1, thinking about purchasing a Mavic Air while waiting for the M2.

Thanks for sharing - Sure makes you feel good about our investments knowing that with a little care and caution, these birds can last a good long time!

Nice work SparksBird.  I just got back from my Tahoe/Kirkwood adventure w/my birds.  A little hazy from the smoke.  

Congrats! How did you get the mileage and battery info?

I suspect I still have a long way to go before I can catch up to that mileage.

Great job Sparksbird, I also think new FW is pretty good, good luck with the next 1000.

Nice work SparksBird.  I just got back from my Tahoe/Kirkwood adventure w/my birds.  A little hazy from the smoke.

Yeah no kidding the smoke has been very bad looks to finally be nearly cleared up.  We had it bad for days all the way here in Sparks, NV.  It even rained the other day which I figured would help clear up all the smoke but came right back.  Looks to be good now though.

You’re an inspiration to us all. I love my MPP. So glad I decided to make it my fourth DJI drone. I take it with me just about everywhere I go.

Thanks for that bat info!!  Pretty good.  Are still getting good charges and flight times out of the high use ones??

The main thing for longevity is batteries and props. Lipo's only survive for so many cycles before the voltage and charge starts to sag and props need changing when they are damaged. The motors should be good as long as they too are kept clean and un-damaged. The ESC's should be good unless they are fed too much current for too long - hard to do with DJI craft - or again, damaged. There are a few on here that have put in some serious flight distance and still going strong. It's nice to hear amongst all the doom merchants and idiots who just don't know how to fly. Just saying. Nice effort Sir.

Thanks and totally agree this is a very good craft.  I keep a close eye on the batteries for any swelling and the props for any damage even any scratches.  A few times I thought were scratches were actually spider webs lol.

Yes still getting very good times I guestimate maybe 5-10% less, somewhere around there.  Nothing that I really notice.  All still work very good.

Thanks for the kind words and yes I do the same thing I take my MP everywhere with me.  Never know when I want to take it out and get some awesome footage.

I also think the FW is very good seem to of put about 300 miles on it with no issues.  Thanks

Sure does and to be honest when I first purchased I had no idea the true durability and longevity that I would get.  Truly an amazing craft.

I bet you are itching for a new one.  I would totally wait for the M2 but hopefully you are not waiting too long.

Put in an order for the Mavic Air last night should be here Monday and if the M2 is amazing I will most likely add it.
