Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE! Well, this weeks vlog is kinda basic. I decided to be like all the other Mavic Pro owners and try and find out how far away my quad …

Thanks… You teach us limit of droon
I felt your pain been there before was funny to watch….. never a fail always learn from mistakes soon you’ll e pro and leave noob behind
I think you made the safe decision of landing on a good spot.
You only had 13% battery left when you landed.
Perhaps if you continued returning it would have dived in the water.
So, I think you were right to play safe and were lucky, as a bonus, to be able to land it in a place where you could retrieve it.
I support your choice 100%.
I wish I had balls like this. If you fly just little further, you won't be able to see it at all and I start getting really nervous. It's like you let $1000 fly around and are hoping it to come back….
That was the oddest video ever. You could have easily made it back. Also why didn't you just let it RTH without touching the controls?
Not stupid at all. But here's my thoughts. You flew to a distance or about 16K feet. But that's the distance in a straight line. You flew a kinked line, could have easily added 1,000 feet. Then when you returned, it might have helped to drop some altitude to get out of the wind.
Entertaining though. Thanks for posting. I'll go check out more of your videos.
I’m new to drones but if I’ve learned one thing it’s if you’re going to do a distance test fly into the wind first!
The part that gets me most is people flying them beyond LOS and expecting nothing but rainbows and unicorns in the end. But you nearly always hear the panic in their voice towards the end.
With a little bit of buffer DJI adds into your battery time plus 20 minutes remaining, you would have had no problem making it home. I really enjoyed your entire video, but, please-next time pick some better music. The music sucked and was annoying for the entire 6:13 seconds of the video. But no other criticisms! You did a great job putting the video together!!😃🛩
good you landed. so many takes a chance. i will make it, then splash and drone wont work again. best to land somewhere dry.
tried the same thing over water. from the flight logs my battery was having an issue cause it dropped 5v in10 sec. I lost mine over water 300 feet away from me. it autolanded and i could not get it out of that mode.
you so funny man… sorry but your video have made me laugh. well done any way.
Dude that was so cool I had to SUB lmao and you drive a BMW so you are family
I want to fly further than i have been with my mavic pro but i lose orientation when i cannot physically see the drone…plus i get nervous that i will lose it
Dont take chances with an expensive drone like that man, especially over water,, but then again sometimes you just have to say What the Fuck. Booger
Today I almost lost mine in a 6 mile excursion. "Aircraft disconnected" I had the CJI goggles on (which somehow were working) so I flew back to my 'woods' with literally one sec left to RTH (near the precarious trees). Live, learn, and be blessed I guess.
So glad to know I'm not the only person who's had to sit there waiting 39 minutes for a firmware update! (in my case, in a park surrounded by people and children coming up to me asking when I was going to start flying and leaving after 2 or 3 minutes of conversation after they got bored waiting). But I've learned my lesson the hard way: ALWAYS check for firmware updates before leaving home!
Wow, I can see how fast your heart was pumping when the battery getting critical and you had to find a spot to land. 😊
Return to home would have been much more efficient coming back after going the distance.. straight line back.
I believe you have beaten yourself up enough BUT why over water? You should by a lotto ticket – Mr. Lucky
Which had your more nervous, this flight or when you did the manual prop shutdown mid flight?
Great video and save
Great Video Chris. Glad you recovered your Mavic. Subscibed >>>>>>
Curiosity killed the cat!
XDD nice job XDD
My Mavic Pro loses signal and image at around 6,000ft.
I'm sure you have heard this by now… I saw someone else do an emergency landing like that and forgot to completely disarm the Mavic. When he got in the car to go get it,it lost signal. What does a Mavic do when it loses signal? It returns home. lol
While he was driving to the landing spot,it had taken off again and was going home. The battery died enroute and he lost it over a cliff.
I would have shit my pants completly xD
Was there a wind
