Ignoring wind direction, the optimum speed and power consumption will be the figure DJI state as giving maximum flight time for the battery.
Hovering and full speed on sports mode, if you have it, use more power than optimum. Obviously, hover and slow speed will consume more power for distance covered. Speeds above optimum may get you there quicker, but because of drag, faster speeds use disproportionately more power.
For those with Mavic Pro, perhaps other models as well, sports mode doesn't make more power available to the drone. Think of normal/sports mode like a maximum speed governor, not an accelerator. For example, if you were flying into a strong headwind or even lifting a heavy load, the system allows as much power as it is capable of to achieve the speed and lift the sticks request. |
