DJI Mavic 3 RANGE TEST to BELOW 0% - How Far Will it Go? This is Unbelievable!!

jeez oh my gosh it's coming down hey guys thanks for tuning in check it out it's the mavic 3 range test so remember i got the flamware combo so i got all this stuff in the backpack bag and all that couldn't really get a place at the park tonight but uh this as you can see it's the evening here on maui just kind of in a super dry pasture over here up in kula and uh we're gonna test the mavic 3 see how far it just goes straight out i'm gonna probably head towards molokini and just do the you know kind of like the infamous range test i do this time with the new mavic 3 let's see how far it can go [Music] shook so i actually thought that might kind of happen the i was trying to use the android phone because i didn't want to have to block some of the antenna with the ipad and also the android phone has its own 4g this one doesn't have any data so if i wanted the maps to kind of stream and i'll have to enable the wi-fi tether so anyway we're going to use switch switching up a little bit using the ipad mini here i'm going to be recording guys in 4k but i don't want to do 60 i'm going to go down to 30 maybe use a little bit less power but we'll still get the clear pictures that we usually do sun is going down let's go ahead and start recording launching holding to take off on the ipad and letting go let that thing anyway we're going to go straight out here kind of as far as we can so i'm full stick forward and i'm just kind of pointing the controller right at the uh the craft there and i don't want to go too high as you can see it's pretty flat land here just gonna head straight to molokini this place actually might be even a little bit better than the park just because there's no trees and there's no houses in the way you know so i'm just slowly climbing just a tad and i did turn off the obstacle avoidance sensors to save power it looks like they may have turned back on nope they're still off okay so i just did that just because it doesn't need to be using power kind of always scanning its surroundings you know what i mean so this might be a good test guys to see if uh just clicking on the middle of the screen so we can focus in on molokini this might be a great test to see how the low light is you know what i mean all that stuff's working out yeah so just tap it on the screen as we're going forward remember this one has the ability to zoom and you can also slightly move the camera left and right by holding on the screen and i'm going to push my finger if you look in my hat cam as well i'm still holding forward on the drone but i'm pushing my finger over to the right and you can see how i can kind of incorporate that sunset just a little bit and i mean just so we can see what's going on there if i hold the screen again with my finger again i can bring it back over to the left or even farther left if i wanted to looks like that's about the maximum for the camera then if you wanted to recenter your camera remember you can just hit that function twice i believe so function on the controller one two that centers it and puts it all the way straight down as you can see that's what we're going over vacant land this is uh you wouldn't believe this is hawaii would you crazy drought and usually this area like above kihei in between kihei and kula is so dry double pressing that function controller again and there we go it brings it right back to um to level and center so that's a little trick you can do anyway what are we at we're at 92 percent um i didn't even realize uh how far we've gone we've gone over a mile about a mile and a half now i'll have those significant thresholds popping up as we get over [Music] you know those those mileages and don't really see myself over here on the left on a little compass down there i can't really see which orientation i'm pointing my ipad in unfortunately there's usually a blue dot where i am but um doesn't really seem to be working perfectly let's go into the map and see yeah this is what i was afraid of uh if i had no connection wouldn't really be able to pull it in at certain levels but it looks like it saved you see how it's saved partially and that's our route so i think i tilted the controller a little bit to the right oops i just basically plopped a little um icon down there that's just by me touching the screen but there you go up there on the top that's my home position and you can kind of see which way you're pointing and see how the there's a little triangle pointing it looks like i'm pointing perfectly towards the craft so just want to kind of keep the controller in this orientation that's why i kind of didn't want to use the ipad because it hangs over that antenna just a tad but it seems like this thing's going to be doing good we're already at just about two miles and we still have 89 percent left just over here kind of on the side of the road and you can see the mini map kind of uh switches from the view the fpv view to the mini map but of course we can't pull in that level of zoom let's go back to our compass yeah so all it's showing is like my home point down there on the bottom left you can see a little h in that orange circle or yellow circle and then you can see the craft but i really know which way to point the controller because i can visually see where it's going and where it should be and i can kind of see the island in my line of sight which i'm going straight at so no problem to really know where to hold the controller in this situation on the top right you can see we've got 24 satellites so a great evening for satellites just like to move the gimbal a little bit just to see what our signal strength is now if you miss the unboxing guys i'll go ahead and have that pop up on the top right and as well as the flight test the whole series i've done for this mavic 3 and man just the fluidity because it's 60 frames per second in if you do have it recording in 50 frames per second as well but i think even if you don't you still get that live view at 60 frames per second so hopefully it is in 60 frames per second i remember when i was uh fooling around with it on the table when we were unboxing it you see the cow trails there when i was flowing around the table unboxing it was just so incredibly fluid at that 60 frame per second high definition image transmission which this uh drone is just so incredibly good at it seems um still unfortunately no advanced tracking functions none of that stuff up here is working yet this stuff up here guys unable to switch modes because i'm recording but let me just show that to you i'm going to stop recording just really quick [Music] okay that's that's saving on the craft also recording my ipad screen so you can see what i'm doing if you look over here if i click on master shots feature coming soon quick shots feature coming soon hyperlapse feature coming soon and panoramic features coming soon so none of this stuff works yet so guys if you're buying this for christmas just keep in mind i'm gonna start recording again keep in mind that no tracking works yet and none of those things i just went through work yet dji is saying possibly in january of next year 2022. so just keep that in mind i mean they're pretty good at getting stuff to work but they're also really good at releasing products before everything works you know ambient light too low vision system sensing unavailable yeah well i turned it all off anyway top right you can see rc signal is in the orange down to three bars next to the flight time remaining and guys we are almost to it looks like we're just passing about three miles almost going four and i might want to just get it a little bit maybe go to 300 feet just really slowly just because um i don't want that mountain to be in its way you know what i mean since i'm holding the controller like this i don't want that to be in the way so here's an example of moving the camera up you can move this thing up like 35 degrees higher than level i'm just rolling it with the left finger on the roller check that out actually 22 degrees when you're going forward if it's still on the table you can go up to 30 or 35 degrees so this is how the camera's looking just flying into kind of the sunset i'm gonna drag the camera again to the right holding until these um this grid pops up and then dragging my finger to the right so the drone is still going forward but the camera is just cocked a little bit to the right hand side still holding my thumb completely forward as much as possible and we're just in normal mode this button here it's just in the middle guys didn't want to do sport because you know that doesn't fly very efficiently and if you're trying to do a range test in sport uh you get out there you run into a connection problem the drone's gonna come back in normal speed so you could get in trouble there i mean it may go farther it may not but your safety is really really limited so approaching uh four miles guys 133 miles per hour pretty much the whole way it seems there's really no wind right now where i'm standing there's a road behind me so you're gonna hear some cars um driving by once in a while but uh just a completely still evening right here because the the mountain i think since i'm on the back side of the mountain the south side it's the the trade winds are being blocked so you know as we get further over there i'm sure that the the winds are going to change we're getting that ambient light too low problem gonna tilt the camera down again just so we can see how our signal is in real time looking fantastic is there anything i can do here when i click on that okay i just clicked on that ambient too low and it seemed to well just wants to keep popping up so i guess that's just a warning you have to deal with even though i have these settings off so i'll be having these things pop up guys as i'm going out here look at this we're almost to wailea [Music] over on the left there that's maui meadows uh gosh we might make it man can we get to molokini maybe holy smokes guys the mavic 3 is um claimed to fly 40 to 45 minutes by dji but this is a new record for me okay so 30 000 feet remember i'll have each mile pop up and show you that in footage mileage and kilometers for you guys over there in europe and other parts of the world so you can see just how far i'm going tilting the camera down again phenomenal even with this ipad hanging over and interfering possibly partially with the antennas it's still able to really uh do fantastic and this is with recording guys okay low battery came up i'm gonna cancel it so we're doing a little bit of risking here but i am going to cancel it because it says we have 27 minutes of flight time left and we're just hitting 69 percent on our power and there's no wind so unless there's some wind a headwind on the way back we're gonna be a-okay we should be able to get out to kihei again moving the gimbal down and there's no problem here here's what i want to do this is fantastic i can't switch to zoom mode until i turn off the recording hopefully my ipad's still recording let's check on that yep i want to click on the binoculars so it changed camera i want to continue recording and i believe we should be able to record this zooming in now i'm going to zoom in a bit so i'm holding the function key and i'm right rolling the left roller just fantastic man there was that little digital hiccup so i can zoom in and then i can kind of move this thing around look at this so this is this is definitely a record i'm actually farther away than the park i usually do these uh tests on so look at this man let's zoom in even more zoom all the way in get the ocean out there that's all the way zoomed in weak antenna signal okay we got one bar but i'm still able to move the gimbal up and down this is unreal look at this a little bit of a delay while i'm zooming but there's kahaho lava and let's zoom out while we have that in view so holding function and pulling the left roller to the left just look at that guys beautiful look at that and look where we are holy smokes we're at kihei all right and we got 65 percent remaining so um i guess i'm gonna have to fly over some stuff unless i go this way i'm turning to the left and i can still control this no problem rc signal on the top right blinking red getting very low um but look at this distance guys screw it i'm just going to go straight out this way there is the it looks like the kihei harbor boat ramp right there that's a little protection oh my gosh so leaps and bounds okay so this is the best for range and connection no doubt about it my rc signal just got up to two bars um approaching 40 000 feet which is geez i don't even know what the mileage is on that this is the farthest i've ever gone just fantastic phenomenal i'm probably gonna be returning home pretty soon but look at this from kula we went so 52 80 is a mile so a few times 52 80 by one two three four five six seven eight are we approaching like eight miles oh my god we're at the shoreline we're farther back than i've ever um started flying before see if we can bring our map in there we go hey it saved it if uh look how far we got guys i wanna i just want you to know that here's the park that i normally fly at right here i'm gonna put a little dot on it that's where i normally fly look how much farther we away we are over here you see that my ipad is showing the wrong area where my ipad is but where the h is is where i am at home uh at the home point so again this is where i normally fly right here at this park in kula so you can see i'm even farther away and down the hill and we're just reaching the shoreline forget about that let's go look down here at the shoreline look at this we made it guys we made it to the hotel that's the monaco i think on the right over there somewhere oh my goodness 58 power and we made it congratulations let's uh pat ourselves on the back let's zoom into this boat real quick this is so cool zooming in oops just got dark that was weird huh i can't get them in view because we're turned down as much as possible but look at this we're to the sea so first time and that first time is with the mavic 3 to the c so i think i'm going to be returning around now we'll just absorb this beautiful sunset for a second and uh i'll tell you what let's kind of keep it moving turn around look at that shot oh my gosh this is wailea look at this there's mckenna over there so guys from kula to um kihei and wailea with this drone look how fantastic that is so i'm gonna start heading back 55 percent i mean you know we don't want to push our luck too much just look at how far we are that's fantastic i'm gonna go into the map and just make sure i'm following the correct route back okay so it looks like yeah we're heading in the right direction weak signal still have a weak signal but my goodness this occusync i haven't seen a hiccup the whole way just when i was turning it seemed to slightly kick up and look at the low light of this camera i mean look how beautiful this is focus in here it really makes the street lights just pop automatically it's doing all this you know so um yeah we got down to about 50 percent just about 52 here and i'm still going the same speed as i went out and now we are cutting down in our mileage so that seemed like eight nine or ten miles my gosh i can't do the math in my head right now for how many thousand feet that was but i will have those uh milestones popping up you know so at least you guys can see what's going on here um i just i just can't believe this that's just fantastic i really do though want to see that um i am heading back in the right direction yeah so we have a straight line if i go straight here it looks like we're gonna be perfectly intersecting you can see where we turned around we made it to the ocean again just fantastic just the absolute farthest i've ever gone okay we're getting into shaky territory 49 power 48 power let's hope to heck this thing can return guys um i don't really want to switch into sport mode because it seems to me like there's no wind if i switch into smart sport yeah it's going to go faster but potentially if there's no wind behind it um i may just lose it you know what i mean so i really want to just make sure i'm facing the absolute premium direction i possibly can just getting back into the vacant areas here so yeah maybe turn a little bit to the left just a tad so we are not um [Music] using battery power unnecessarily man yeah this thing will go halfway across maui awesome man so as you can see here's my location whoops yeah i didn't stream in those maps but so if you if you just um are at your house guys and you wirelessly attach your ipad if your ipad doesn't have like you know cellular wireless you can just do this for wherever you're going to fly just zoom around and it will save these in but as you can see i didn't zoom in far enough on this portion of the map to save that because i didn't think i was going to be flying from this location i thought i was going to be flying from that kula park location up there okay so i pulled as you can see i pulled in if i zoom way in i pulled in all the maps over here but if you don't do that same motion for places that you don't think you're gonna fly that's what it does it just gets all um gray but uh sorry i'm just zooming around just kind of want to show you again where i am so it's just right outside of the highway there switching back into camera and you can see the low light mode here gonna switch back into the compass just by pressing that little icon so yeah getting a little nervous but just the longevity of flight time on this thing is unbelievable oh my goodness staying at excuse me staying at um 300 feet 299 feet the whole way let's pitch this camera all the way down okay i know i'm using just a ton of power doing this but i'm still in uh the zoom camera mode remember so i'm going to zoom into the ground whoops oh i just pressed go home now i just canceled it okay press the wrong button i pressed home instead of uh function and now i want to zoom in just to the dry let's see how good it is in low light and zooming in so oh man once it reaches that digital did you see that you can still see the ground but it got really dark so you're not going to really get good zoom once it surpasses four times zoom see good light horrible too dark to even see anything so keep that in mind always finding the little um tricks and stuff in these flight tests so anyway guys here we go i want to go back into the map real quick and just see where we're at see if i have to adjust oh my gosh are we going to make this jeez at least i mean i'm used to the drone you know the battery power going down so much faster it says we still have 12 and a half minutes about to fly so and we're going the same speed that we came out so i think we're gonna be okay i mean what i may have to do is just um you know uh cancel the forced landing and just really try to hold this thing up because we still got a ways to go man crazy ways to go here this is going to be a long one so remember this is this thing can fly for supposedly about you know man are we gonna make this i'm not even halfway back yet and i got 33 power oh man another freaking nail biter spartan my french maybe i'm going to stop recording [Music] on that zoom camera and get out of the zoom camera i just press the binoculars and that switches to the other camera and i'm going to start recording on the other camera let's see how the ground looks on this one there we go looks pretty much the same to me if you guys notice any difference you know comment down below in the uh the comments if you see any different in between the two videos i just recorded the binocular mode just clicking on the screen again and the regular camera mode so just switch back into regular camera mode okay i'm going to turn it a little bit to my right because as you can see we're kind of going off our line a little bit this should be good though our signal's getting good again we got three orange bars on the rc so just amazing the technology that dji is coming up with yearly is really leaps and bounds anything i've ever seen as far as their link connection how long their drones can really fly for a quadcopter you know a multi-rotor so just unbelievable wondering why that there we go i was wondering why i wasn't pulling in the imagery back to compass back to imagery yeah i guess it's just set up at a bad level looks like it kind of tries to zoom in is what it does when you click back on the fpv watch what happens to that mini map starts to kind of zoom in man i don't know if we're going to make this i got 8 minutes left to fly i really don't know guys i mean we might not make this i might have to go walking tonight things i really don't want to do in this pasture but it says we still have 25 power so maybe we're just gonna make it you know if you go 25 percent times four that's 100 percent and we're right at a quarter coming back because if you calculate a quarter to get where we are now going out another quarter to get to the ocean a quarter to get back where we are now and then it'll be another quarter to get back home so hey maybe i calculate it right maybe we'll we will be good because we did turn around um a little bit before 50 so i got my fingers crossed i'm not gonna stop recording you know you guys are probably like stop recording you're using battery power i'm not gonna stop recording sorry as you can see i'm just holding my um ipad up here in the pretty much dusk the sun has just setted and uh you know we're gonna be flying a little bit after the sun set it but that's okay i'm seeing a little white light down there let's just inspect this kind of interesting as we fly over we'll just look at it see that little white object could be a water tank or something i just want to check double check my map good to double check this just to make sure you're going in a straight line going back looks good you can see i went a little bit to the left i think because my thumb was i was nervous and i was holding it a little bit to the left but um you know this is where we want to be over there yeah not too enthused with this ipad's uh gps capability maybe it's getting interfered but i am not over there up up where that blue dot is that is not me sorry i'm right there where that h is so anyway uh biting my nails right now even though they're not at my face in my mind i'm biting my nails um how did we pass over that white thing oops sorry there it is it looks like just a tub somebody's got a irrigation system for their animals that's just a white tub down there like a trough this is all just farmland probably something you'd be more keen on seeing in like australia so dang dry but nope this is hawaii the gimbal is not crooked guys that's a mountain going up there to the right at a very pretty steep incline so again that ambient light you know pretty irritating even though i have all the sensors off it's still saying that 26 satellites now in our arse low battery okay really watching that's coming out of the controller guys see if i turn the uh ipad volume down [Music] that does not stop it so i don't think we can turn that off maybe if i just hit power one time just tapped it turned it off for a second but turned back on so i really just want to watch my height you see over there on the bottom left i wish i really wish you could turn this beep down that's just entirely irritating 13 power man holy smokes should i switch into sport what the frick should i do [Music] it seems like the battery power is going down faster man come on baby just make it just make it jeez okay the beep is not helping that's like giving me extreme stress come on and turn my head to the right just a tad come on you can do it [Music] oh [Music] low battery landing oh i was pushing up while it was doing that oh crap it's coming down i'm pushing up a little just to maintain its altitude guys maybe i shouldn't have pushed up that much jeez oh my gosh it's coming down [Music] i'm trying to hold it right around 300 feet but i'm just trying not to burn too much battery power you know and i might have to go and find this thing we're back to like 33 miles per hour because i am pushing still pushing forward on it come on just make it home just make it home please i think it's zero it's gonna try to start landing so i'm gonna try to get up slowly as high as i can really slowly come on man this is gonna be another freaking nail biter like crazy come on come on six percent come on baby come on it's telling me critically low [Music] i'm just slowly trying to get up there so that when it does force me out i have that you know that little bit of um time to just come down let's try to get up to 1400 almost okay maximum back to the video okay now we can't even see where we are because it's getting dark so as you can see my height is going down if i don't hold up on the stick okay oh geez height 150 pushing up on the stick we got we started to get a little bit low there so i'm pushing up again whoa don't do any stupid movements like that two percent guys look at that up on the top right come on and now i'm pushing the altitude stick all the way up okay just trying to squeeze any last bit out of here i have let's zoom in here oh man jeez we might just make this holy smokes i can see it okay i see your lights mavic come on in come on zero percent guys it's still letting me push it up yay okay this is a zero percent return i can't believe it's still letting me do this this is fantastic switching back in we made it no way hey there we go it just turned on its lights and it's still letting me push it up man just fantastic geez louise see i can still push it up i'm gonna catch it from the bottom here real quick grabbing it holding down on the controller jeez critically low stop everything stop recording turn this thing off oh my goodness quick turn it off quick quick quick geez guys i really thought we were gonna lose that man there we go so mavic 3 are you as um crazily nervous as i am just out here in the in the pasture you know this is insane so the mavic 3 okay let's talk about it real quick before my camera dies phenomenal got all the way out to the ocean the farthest i've ever gone with the dji product and probably any drone except for you know my my 4g parrot disco modded plane so impressive man the mavic 3 if you're looking for range and just the amount of signal they're pumping out of this thing and still able to fly that long i'll go ahead and have the flight time up guys of how long that was and how many miles it went total that must have been something like eight or nine miles man that was crazy and i just want to say thanks for tuning in and really stressing out with me on this flight um still have more to do with this when the tracking is uh working you'll be able to see the active tracking and stuff so i'm going to do a video of that when it is working i already did kind of the flight test you can check that out since the active track wasn't working yet i just followed my son through the trees just manually steering it and it did avoid everything go ahead and check that out on my series for the mavic 3 and where you can get the mavic 3 of course um go ahead and check the links down in the description down below i'll have those links down there so you can check all that stuff out and what i use in my reviews i mean i'm loving the ipad mini 5. even though the ipad mini 5 was on the controller hanging over the antenna you saw that link even though it was almost zero i could still control it and i could still see the fpv fine so phenomenal just keeps getting better and better they just need to really get that advanced active track and all those quick shots and stuff working on this hopefully uh soon alright guys thanks for tuning in and i'll check you in the other in the next video thanks for watching [Music]
