I was checking my flight records, and I saw a flight that took 21 min the most long. I know that depends of the maneuvers, and aprooaching to last the battery. But I wanna ask: What was your longest flight? 30 minutes I think that only if you leave stopped !

Wow 21 mins not bad. Guess it depends how far you push it. With the MP, I tend to fly until probably 28% battery which gives me anywhere between 13-16 mins of flight time.

When reaches the 30% I already stay concerned to get back the drone. But as I use for mapping, it gives a long flight time because its a flight more linear and automatic.

Hard for me to check as my complete case with equipment is somewhere between the Netherlands and Denmark but looking over the screenshots i got, i can see that i have at least 25 min on flight of a distance of 2291m and altitude of max 99m.
In the other end i have a 1 min flight at 1m and 2m distance. :-)
Max distance is 9380 meters, flown in 16 min at a top speed of 27.8 m/s / 100.2 Kph*
Top speed 30.5 m/s / 110.? Kph*.

*Depending on units selected in app.

21 minutes, I always err on the side of caution.

KedDK, which drone do you have? I'm not sure that its possible to achieve 100.2 kph.

P4P, i am sure our batteries are the same and possibly also power usage, so i believe your advanced are able to perform similar.
I was out testing on a windy day due to some comments in this thread. Some days later i was out again and reached around the 110 kph.
I am sure it can get a lot more than that but if it is working as expected when i get it home it is for the photo use again, it was just with all the issues it had, it was of no better use than flying around for fun. ;-)

The little trick is to fly around a hill. Go up in the wind and give it throttle with the wind, go down and fly it back to the hill. You would have to fly in Atti to get the full potential out of it.

Nice trick. I thought later that could be helped with the wind. And also you had put in S mode or ATTI. Cool!

They do get quicker in sport and ATTI mode, don't they ?
Scares the ______ out of me though. Would only use those to get away from the hunters thinking I'm flying a real bird.

Yes James. But you have to be careful. When you change to Sport mode, you disable the sensor of the front if Advanced, and others if Pro. So you have to make sure that you know the area, and have skill to control. I think it can reach 72 kph, with no wind of tail.

Sport didn't differ much from GPS mode whatever going up- or down-wind, perhaps in calm wind the difference is noticeable. Have in mind my test was after the fatal FW upgrade.
Atti is the mode to select if you're in a hurry, if you're untrained flying Atti i can recommend using it now and then prepared to switch back at GPS in case you feel something might get wrong.

The longest using DJI GO 4, but its pretty typical. The flight is over 4000 meters and 19 minutes with a good 28% battery reserve. P4P
