Mini 3 Does 1500km in 80 days,  can you beat that?

(Not bad for one battery for the first month )

Hello there DAFlys. Good day and thank you for sharing these information with us. Again, thank you for your support and keep flying.

i think you have to much free time

Gotta be a record   And there was me crowing about a mere 4 million feet in 5 years

Probably Andre as during that time Ive also flown about 600km on the Mini2 and Ive lost track of how much on the Mavic 2 Pro.

It would be good to know if it was Mr B.

I thought he may have done more than just his maiden voyage with the Mini3.
He used to be extremely active a few years ago on the forum.

That link should take you to DirtyBird's profile.  Mr. B was saying he might have a lot of feet flown.  

That is a lot of kilometers with only 1 battery.
Imagine how many kilometers you could have flown if you purchased Fly More Combo with the plus batteries....

I did purchase the fly more kit but that came out 1 month after the drone here.   Officially the plus batteries are not for sale in Europe as it would change the MTOM and classification however o do have one.

Still A1 transitional sub 500g so allowed to fly over people just not intentionally and allowed to fly in built-up areas.

Over 250g we are supposed to have 50m separation from people/vehicles/buildings assuming you cannot confirm vehicle/building us empty. https://publicapps.caa.co.uk/doc ... actsheet_V7%206.pdf

As we are in the transitional period see image...

I don’t have the A2 c of c though.

Ah, thats a shame, sorry, for some reason i thought you had yours, its actually worth doing, its VERY easy, thinking the one we had to do for the CAA but this time you're sitting a live video exam, there's a lot you will already know and a few bits you don't.

There's a free course, take the course, you only pay when you've done the actual course and are ready to take the mock exams, pay, do as many mocks as you feel you need, and then book the exam.

Put it this way, i got 100% right in under 5 minutes, its that easy.

See UAV Hub and if you are with FPVUK then when my mate bought his he got 50% off, it's worth it just for the transitional period, you can fly ya bigguns where you normally wouldnt be able to   or the mini 3 with the plus battery ;)

I looked at it and decided it didnt really do a lot for me with what and where I Fly.

I see,    8 mil flown if the profile is anything to go by.

DAFlys Posted at 8-8 22:22

I noticed that also.  I think he uses Litchi a lot which could be why his distance flown is only 8M.

Its good for when the C comes in, but also you learn a bit more, even if you take the course, its free, you don't have to pay anything unless you want to go ahead and get the cert and it lasts 5 years i think. Just gives you a bit extra whilst in the transitional period, not as restricted like it is atm...

Must be a huge battery

It was only one battery for the first 30 days though.

That is quite the distance.

Montfrooij Posted at 8-19 03:57
That is quite the distance.

Well over that these days,  ovewr 1806km plus some flights that are not synced yet.

Just got a small gadget for my other hobby, so I won't be flying much soon.

Another gadget,     was that the art tube?

DAFlys Posted at 8-20 23:59

The TubeArt was my previous addition.
That is a pre amplifier, mainly for microphones, but any mono instrument can benefit from that.
I bought a 1010 music Nanobox Lemondrop.
It is a granular synthesizer and I have been looking for something like this for about one year now. It can make very interesting textures and it was one area where my small setup had a hole.
So.....
I got one. And will see how well it fits my setup.  
You should see it on my channel someday 'soon'

Blimey,   I struggle to keep up with all your gadget purchases.

Hahahahahahahaha.
If this one does its job as I envisioned, I will have enough (should) for some time.
Maybe just a better microphone, but that's about it.

Hmmm,    Im not sure if I believe you.

Me neither.
I will probably find a new gap to fill.
Or a bigger interface
