I had a nice test flight just now with the M3. I must say the battery life is amazing in this drone. I did notice an issue with the OA, which showed an error and the warning was that i was flying at night but it was 13h00 with bright sun so not sure why it did that. I have attached the link for the airdata if anyone wants to look at it. Also was very happy with the range i got. Will give it another go over the sea this weekend if weather is good.

Were you in the shadow of that eaves overhang? Might be the cause of the darkness error. I notice it disappeared once aloft a few meters.

There were a lot of weak signal messages. Were you standing on the top of the roof or on the "sundeck"? Those look like metal roofs. I have a lot of signal errors when I fly over a large house with metal roofs in my area. I thought those might go away with the M3, but if anything I see more errors.

Hello there Suren. Good day and thank you for sharing this flight experience that you had before with your DJI Mavic 3. Have a safe and a happy flying always.

Drone was clear on the deck, no shadows just sunlight. I always fly from the deck out to the hills and have a clear LOS to drone so I was surprised with the signal drop out but Im still okay with it as we don't really do much videos at that distance.

20 minutes flight time and 40% battery left is looking very promising.  

Nice to see!

Ah, beautiful Whangarei. It's got to be 20 years since we went diving on the Poor Knights from there! Good times.

That's quite a range.
