DJI MINI 3 PRO RANGE TEST - HOW BAD IS THE SIGNAL?

[@DMProductions]

You asked for it! What do you think? Personally when filming I never go this far and when I have been filming with the Mini 3 Pro the signal has been awesome! Mini 3 Pro Link click.dji.com/ALI_z80OMgXsq_hzL6dT8g?pm=link

[@charlesdove1345]

Thank you 🙏 signal has been great

[@dereksmith9448]

Love this drone

[@henriklarsen2200]

I found it useful, but I have had issues under 500m if standing closed to high trees or tree lines I cant move away from. Even in open areas where a line of trees will kill the signal if not going higher. I normally work in the 5-15m height, when filming atletes on bikes, runners ans so on. Going 1500m away is not really something useful, maybe in the mountains.

[@Python_Bacon]

so I'm just curious about... why does the signal to the controller matter for quality of content if you are using a micro sd to record everything on the drone? I didn't think that recorded quality was dependent on signal strength in any way whatsoever. Just asking.

[@ihackyourtoaster3021]

What's good about DJI drones, apart from the signal strength which some peoeple may say are questionable, is how safe they are even if you can't really see them. I've flown drones "dangerously" over the years but I've never lost one due to loss of control. Knowing how to use RTH has done wonders and has saved me thousands of dollars as these things can literally fly by themselves back to you. Who care how far they can fly if they can't come back, amirite?

[@BENZ007]

I agree. I am a beginner and learning. Lost 2 so far but they were like 30 dollars each, just learning muscle memory.

[@back2nature608]

They dont have to RTH since they dont go far anyway!

[@jeremywj]

Yes, the RTH is solid. I will say though the first time I flew my Mini Pro 3 (my first drone ever) out of range my heart rate about doubled until it came back into range on its own.

[@Kl88428]

Great video! It's true that going that far is in most cases useless but as a consumer I can also be disappointed since the capability of this drone is not as advertised from DJI.

[@NavdeepSingh-bt2cc]

Honestly speaking achiving this kind of performance tells us how far we have progressed as humans in the trchnology. Think its that tiny and still u get the video with that little remote ans drone. Scientifically speaking its very hard to maintain. So, i would say this drone can easily do what is advertised in the forests where there is no wifis and giant mobile sim towers.

DJI used to only advertise range capabilities etc. in the FCC (U.S.) system, which does allow for 8-10km range. Whereas the EU has way more stricter guidelines in their CE system, which only allows for around 2-3km range. You can notice that they started to advertise what the range is in FCC, CE etc. for the new Avata drone, because I guess people complained that the way they used to advertise this stuff wasn't quite fair and transparent.

[@oscarfellenburg711]

What the problem is .. because of weak signal I can’t take my mini 3 beyond a small hill when it descends out of direct line of signal . So maybe you don’t need 10 miles but with this which is possible on the North American and Canadian drones FCC , where as we get a weaker signal in Europe . I was really disappointed and if I knew before buying my mini 3 , I may not have bothered . Since it’s no extra distance than the mini 2 . Sometimes I’d like to get footage of inaccessible places that the advertised distance is needed to get the drone to these isolated spots . So yes in my view we need a stronger signal .

[@oscarfellenburg711]

I think DJI should make it clear in the advertising that if you fly your mini 3 or any other dji drones with supposed up to 10 miles or what ever , But fly in England and your very lucky to get 1500 m with a useable signal with out lag. Also where I live in on my estate I’m lucky to get just 300 m with all the interference . I don’t understand what the different laws are as if you have a spotter you can legally fly as far as you want . Well that’s how I understand it .

[@oscarfellenburg711]

@@NavdeepSingh-bt2cc wow your very lucky , where are you flying as in England and everywhere apart from North America and Canada like me you will get around 1600 m in an environment with virtually no interference . Flying in a forest the signal will have to penetrate through trees , from my experience you’d get no where near the advertised range

[@jacobshanahan7466]

Idk about you guys but flying 2+ k's away with a remote control flying camera is pretty bloody amazing! Especially considering the size of the thing

[@DMProductions]

It really is brilliant

[@slaphands7703]

I ran mine out to 6400m in normal mode at 117m height on the Canadian prairies with zero obstructions. This was with the small capacity battery. I could have possibly gone a bit farther but the low battery warning came on. Made it back with three minutes left of flying time. I was using the rc controller.

[@Jadesfishing]

Oh cool that’s good to know I just ordered one and plan to fly here around Alberta for my fishing videos!

[@brokensword2621]

this is because your drone is in the FCC mode and you are not use the crappy CE signal mode in Europe that's way worse than FCC signal used in Canada and US. specially with this new RC with screen and no external antenna that's make the signal strange even worse. what dji thinking when they designing this crap😄

[@chrisdavisunofficial]

Great video. I have done some impromptu range tests and got about 1,100 meters with mild obstructions and just over 2 km from a nice viewpoint in the mountains. I'm still impressed by how good this drone is for the price.

[@DMProductions]

me too the drone and its features works perfectly and I got some great footage with it

[@guneskilicistanbul1744]

Darren, such a great video! I was so tense when I got the same warning, you have made it perfect clear that we must never try to fly beyond the safety limits. Thanks a lot, for the advice. By the way Antalya should give the golden key of the city and appoint you as the honorary ambassador 🇹🇷🇬🇧

[@ruirodrigues9122]

It depends on what one is filming going long distance whether it's boring or not. Personally I fly in an area where there all allot of small islands so I enjoy going long distance to capture it all all...but...to each their own. Farthest I've flown the Mini 3 is 5km over a river over these islands (FCC version) as here in Canada we are allowed with sub 250g drones and great reception. Full bars all the way. Cheers

[@charlesdove1345]

Oooo been waiting for this !

[@DMProductions]

haha indeed!

[@benvanmil6761]

I totally agree with you about cinematic video's yet it eould be nice to have a bit more range. My proximity to the Canadian rocky mountains makes you realize that distance is relative, big open spaces and distance becomes an issue. While range isn't always important the strength and stability of the signal is so it depends on where and what you like to document in your video.

[@marvinmcdonald6617]

No one really flies that far anyway. I'm not worried, but in the urban scenario I guess flying higher can give you a little bit more range. For wide open spaces I don't really have an answer except "VLOS". The fact that these drones can exceed 2km is already a wonder all its own so I guess I would already be happy with that and not push the "short range" button repeatedly.

[@aeroflopper]

These will go 6 plus miles

[@rockhound7147]

I love the footage people get with their drones but, personally, I like my drone too much to take chances with it. I stop at around 1500 meters (a little less than a mile). I may not get those spectacular far off island shots, but I'm happy with the views I wouldn't be able to get without it. Thanks for sharing!

[@gtmanu]

Hello, first of all I clarify that I am a follower of your channel and I like your videos. On this occasion, I strongly disagree that it is "boring" to fly in a straight line from one point to another. In any case it is "your personal opinion", it is not a truth to affirm. Personally, I really like the "long range" to take the drone to the limit of its possibilities, but this requires a special technique that very few people manage to master. The "long range" is another category and you can't mix the one that flies over close objects with the one that performs "long range", they are very different techniques. Other concepts are necessary for such practice., therefore, something that has to be planned, studied, understood, known to react in an emergency, etc. cannot be boring (in my humble opinion). Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Yes if you go that rode and want maximum have to plan carefully and watch out for flying conditions such as wind being one of them and so on. Is perfectly fine to disagree. But in my opinion most of creators like photographers are after creating amazing content/art but off course nothing wrong going extreme and pushing boundaries of your drone.

I've had the original Mini, got 5km on that, mini 2, 5km no issues and great pictures and video. Sold those for this mini 3. Pictures and video great, range terrible. I love exploring with my mini, never had an issues with the previous versions, and based on those reputations, I bought this one. Brother you're making excuses for this drone, and I'm not sure if it's biased excuses. 10km advertised. Not even close. I am not confident flying this drone even 1km away.

this is because of FCC mode of your RC. the CE RC models are really bad range especially in areas with lot of buildings and mountians and trees. you must hack it to FCC mode if you want to use it without problems.

[@esanford]

What a great video. I think some drone pilots tend to be gear heads. What your video points out is why good quality work is the primary reason for having a drone…

[@flamingrage100]

It’s really just varies as when I launched it from my house. If I went to the direction when the front of my home was facing I would get to 6250m before the connection drops. While if I go to the direction behind my home I can barely get over 1000m. I’m curious if the mini 2 is the same way and if it is I wouldn’t be complaining.

[@timoryan4441]

Nice video and informative too. Enjoy the break.

[@mickeyderks8591]

If the feed on your controller is laggy, I'd imagine the feed that is actually being recorded onto the SD card in the drone is perfectly fine 4k60FPS. So the footage is still usable but operating the drone might have some lag.

[@terryneilbooth]

Great test and points and now the signal strength is more than adequate since the recent DJI updates. Look forward to that next cinematic footage 👍

Same, one of my biggest disappointments with this drone after upgrading from the Mini 2. I do love it overall, but the long distance signal is pretty poor compared.

[@BavleoIQ]

Amazing video bro, and as you said it’s so boring to fly from A to B and taking the drone so far is not so comfortable. For me a range between 400-1000m is decent 👌 to get these cinematic shots 🔥

[@stevee023]

@@DMProductions 😎

[@fingimygig]

I have had a thought on these range tests. Some don’t make it back because of battery. Well looking at the shape of the drone it occurred to me that the drone may actually more streamlined in reverse, and maybe it could go further, easier going backwards. Just as flying sideways must create the most drag. Perhaps a test for this may assist those drone pilots who seem doomed on the way back, maybe it could save the day. A test showing a range test in reverse vs forward may establish an important drone action to perform on returns.

[@falklumo]

XENON SKY here on YT flies his Mini 3 Pro 10 km out and back, with the stock RC. Limited by battery, not signal. He stands on top of a one story roof, maybe 3m above ground. The pilot‘s immediate surroundings seem to be what‘s limiting range more than anything else. Choose wisely, my friend, before posting range tests … The advertized 12 km range seem accurate to me. I recently had to do some cinematic footage 2.2 km away and it worked fine until M3P flew behind the monument where it enaged RTH. CE mode.

[@cesun5452]

1700meters is when it gets bad for me as well. Is it a hardware problem or would it get fixed through firmware updates

[@thomasmartinez9393]

So please be honest folks… It's not a question of "what's enough for me" or "it's boring to fly in one direction". Please take a closer look at your mini packaging, what DJI has printed on it in big letters: 8km CE, 12km FCC. Therefore the standard argument of the law-abiding KZbinrs and DJI-fanboys with the legal situation and the mandatory line of sight is formally correct but basically outrageous in this case: If DJI promises these ranges and advertises this product with these exorbitantly high numbers, then it must at least partially correspond to reality. Like every other drone they released in the past was able to achieve the advertised range and in some cases even exceeded it. The Mini 3 has been proven to reach only a tiny fraction of the advertised value. And please: even if you don't fly 8km away, it's completely logical that the signal strength would be much better over short distances if the advertised range would be actually achieved, right?

[@JoshBellgolf]

Just about to get my mini 2 cannot wait 👍😃😃

[@louietuna8091]

Now you can double your investment and get the Dji RC Pro for the Mini 3 Pro. You'll get a much more powerful unit with (6) antennas for greater range, a 1080 screen with HD output, Way Points and a lot of other features.

[@jaycarl1562]

I use my drone for different property surveillance. Range is very important. The mini3 was a great disappointment compared to the mini2 in the range department. Have absolutely no issues with range with the mini2 even when I'm flying from inside my house. The mini3 has absolutely no range from inside my house and is completely useless for what I need it for.

[@Thesilentwolf7610]

Mini 2 user here, I hacked the drone to FCC mode and can easily go 6-8km and back with a modded battery pack. Range will be around 2-3 bars but never a signal loss when I keep pointing the RC to the Drone.

[@ABurghouts]

I see where you coming form. But for property surveillance there are much better drones than the mini3 though. Mini 3 is mostly for the ease of access due to its light weight what means a lot less restrictions then the heavier drones. Restrictions you don't have if you are flying over private property and/or if you have permission form the property owner you are doing the surveillance for. Personally, for surveilance I'd go for the Air2s or Mavic 3

That's great, that means if I climbed to the top of Twin Peaks with my controller, but forgot my drone at home in Glen Park (San Francisco), I can call the wife and have her put the drone on the balcony and fly it to myself.

No where near 10 miles as advertised by DJI. A lot of us want to go far that's why we shelled out over $1,000 bucks

I think if you in Europe and some other countries you locked to CE. Where I am is FCC although RC controller sometimes switches to CE for some reason. 3-4km is average in urban for me with still strong signal and full bars did push it on one occasion to 6km could go even further but had to come back nearly lost drone as battery depleted so fast (plus one) FCC really makes difference in signal stability and strength

I flew my mini 3 to some wind turbines in the sea on holiday 3 miles had no problems but there was no interference but I totally agree with you it gets bloody boring lol but overall its a brilliant drone and like you say how far do you need to go because you want the quality feedback. As usual Darren great video I take it you'll be grabin the new dji avatar 😁👍👌 🇬🇧

[@DMProductions]

thank you mate, yes the drone is awesome and I managed to capture some great footage with it, I never to a-b flying in the straight line but I did get some great use of all this drones features ! Glad you enjoying it too !

[@bf760]

is there a feature on the DJI mini 3 pro that lets you know whether or not you have enough battery to return to home if you are a great distance from the original homepoint. thank you.

Where is this

[@Jacobbo-lp3nu]

My highest range on Mini 3 Pro was 5km (120m height)

[@randbaldwin]

When the range is soooo farrrr away from VLOS, I wonder why people ask about long range so much. I want strong signal because I fly around trees, canyons, etc. This drone has OS3, so the whole question is pointless to me. It's good!

[@5thGenNativeTexan]

Apologies if I missed it in the video, but is part of this due to reduced radio power in the non-US models? I'm seeing videos here in the US with people easily reaching the 3 mile, (about 4,800 meters) distance, and I frequently go two miles (about 3200 meters) with few issues.

[@aaphotofilm]

awesome video Darren, just a question, i also got my all day freewell NDs the one you recommended, when flying with the NDs do you still put it in normal colour mode or the cine-lite mode?

[@DMProductions]

Hey I use d-cine the most but you can use them with either

[@aaphotofilm]

@@DMProductions Oh i see, thanks for letting us know, those NDs you recommended are actually impressive, better then i thought, you have good taste lol thanks again :)

[@thomasgiguere8460]

i agree i try the range test and it go to 1700 m without modification on the drone or the rc

[@paulhoward979]

I flew yesterday over open fields 1000 metres on full signal, started to turn to return & completely lost signal to drone??? Luckily flew back! Worrying though! Great video, very informative 👍
