The advertised 4.3 miles is in a 100% interference free area.
Where were you flying, the only place you may get a 100% interference free area is in the middle of the desert or over the ocean.
Also, watch this video as proper antenna orientation as it may help with your range.
I agree Ken, the interference can't be underestimated, you should add Zambia to your list...not a desert or a lake! I have had my Mavic for two weeks now and am getting to know it, yesterday was my distance test and managed 6 miles, I repeated that today and had 23% battery remaining....I know pushing the boundaries. I was on top of a ridge with nothing around my immediate vicinity, I can't manage anything like that when I'm surrounded by trees or buildings or at a low elevation.
I'm sure my claim will be met with much skepticism, have shared the flight log on Healthy Drones dot com.
10 points to the Mavic, it told me at 55% battery to go home and did so in a much straighter line than I used to get there. Very happy indeed a fine machine! |
