DJI Mini 4K Range Test

[@Ayokelan]

I was able to get 3.1 miles out of mines, tons of trees in my area as well. I was impressed, wanted to go further but was running out of battery 😢

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

And to think that some of the newer ones have a range of like 20 miles (clear line of sight).

[@scottschabel7372]

What would happen if you pass the point that's too far? Isn't there a chance it's a couple miles away and then you just lose control and it eventually loses power and crashes

[@Ayokelan]

@@scottschabel7372 It has an auto return to home feature, so it will simply return to the point where you took off from. However, if the battery is low, it will also return to that location. The farther you go, the lower the battery percentage will be. For instance, if I fly out at 11,000 feet with 99% battery, it will set itself to return at approximately 60%. I’m not sure of the exact number, but it’s something like that to ensure you won’t lose it if you’re flying back at 20% battery and there’s not enough power to make it back. However, if I fly out at 2,000 feet with 99% battery, it will set itself to return at around 20% or so.

Great wee video from your area! Think you get more time if you had not been in sport mode. Scotland UK

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

I was actually at my elderly mother’s place in Massachusetts. I could have flown further but I freaked out. I had never flown that far before.

[@daniel.d2150]

@@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures I understand . I have the mini4K and have not yet pushed it. I do hear you on that. Lovely buildings . Thank you for that feedback. Happy flying from Scotland.

[@boldandbrightjewelry]

I have the Mini 4k as well and for some reason I lose connection to my drone and remote after flying a bit away but nearly as far as you take yours. I live in a city area lots of houses and buildings

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

I had the same problem for a while but it went away. It was quite scary! Just remember that the RTH button on the controller will still work without being connected to your phone.

[@graphguy]

Urban area, mostly flat to easy hills. but with tons of 40+ foot trees. I’m lucky if I get .75 miles.

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

Yeah I probably have no need to even go past 1/2 mile but was curious of how far I could take it. I could have gone further but was starting to freak out!

[@graphguy]

@@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures I bet! But I’m very annoyed by their quoting ranges up to 12 miles. A major lie in any situation.

[@viksjolt1]

i'm afraid of sending my mini 4k BVLOS because there are so many birds in my area cuz I live next to a huge river and also parts of my area have really bad connectivity, like 2-3 satellites only, i've already crashed my mini 4k because of that. It dropped from the 7th floor of my apartment building after hitting the railing on my balcony broke 2 arms but i was really impressed the frame as a whole withstood the fall.

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

My biggest fear is a bird strike!

[@EsaTalukder-f9e]

super love

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

Thanks so much!

[@Ciuit]

Bro I remember when I got my drone I was scared to go far but then I did and now I can drive from my house to the local gas station

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

Yes I even use to get vertigo from flying high. My hands would be shaking!

[@07siksi]

Awesome vid thank you!

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

Thank you for watching!

[@rudjard]

had my first few flights the weekend (first time drone flier with dji) and boy i was amazed by its performance, decent wind and it was so stable. didn't go further flight coz i haven't activated my dji care yet but now that i do i bet i will be testing mine further away without hesitation. thanks for the vid.

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

Just remember that if you get lost, hit that Return to Home button!

[@tn25nithish67]

Who is best Mini 2se or mini 4k ?

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

Mini 4K takes better video and is only $20 more in price. Be looking for Black Friday deals!

[@salocinscience11]

Just got mine and im so excited to fly it long range! Thanks for the video!

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

Amazon had them for just $239 a couple of days ago! I was tempted to buy another one.

[@pollf100]

They said on sites it has 10km range

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

Yes clear line of sight with no obstructions 10km or 6 miles

[@emilian14]

I only can fly about 300 metres :(The signal always get lost

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

Must be a different model. Even with a bunch of trees, I can still fly almost a mile! (1,609 meters)

[@Roys_Drones]

Liked and Subscribed... Thanks for the videos.

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

Thanks so much!

[@KoljaMineralka]

I did 2.2 km over the Salton Sea and returned and that was mini 2...

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

Amazing!

[@elgavilan]

That's very poor for a Mini 4K! It can clearly fly much further! You could reach 3 miles easily with that drone...

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

It can go 6 miles if you have clear line of sight! I was shooting through trees and terrain.

[@bowharry82]

Good video but would of been nice to see the fly app screen to see what the height and distance was from the app. Nice vid tho.

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

Yes exactly! I figured that all out afterwards as you’ll see in my other videos

[@bowharry82]

@@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures Just bagged my self the mini 4k and am impressed. Now I have to do all the same lol setup work out how things work. Lol

[@khalilkh7389]

Range meter?

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

Yeah I know…I figured all that out later.

[@Atheosandras]

So over there the law doesn't state you have to keep it in line of sight at all times? Not fair, we have to here

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

It does state that but it’s not enforced to the best of my knowledge.

[@NOXFPV]

Liked and subbed. Im enjoying my Mini 4k.

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

Best bang for the buck!

[@albanianfarmlife2349]

Mine max 650meters 😂

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

That’s far enough for most needs!

Great video, but the music sucks ass

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

KZbin doesn’t offer very good non copyrighted material

[@scottschabel7372]

@@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures just for future reference. If you have a few songs in mind that your really into and are popular or classics, you can likely find someone covering it and use that. Most of the time, the instrumentals sound good, even if the vocals are shotty. What I do is, find something I like on KZbin and then goto copy. You copy the link and then goto your internet browser and type, convert KZbin to MP3. There you paste the video that you copied and it will download you a free MP3 for your Itunes. You then edit that into your drone video. Imovie for example is a place you can do it. I do that with actual bands and have never gotten any warnings or crap for it. Not all sites work with the KZbin to Mp3 conversion though. You have to keep pasting until you find one and then bookmark it so you always have it 😉

[@GÖTEBORGSBYGGENII]

I've been flying my trusted Macic 2 Pro for 5 years, producing beautiful, cinematic videos. Then I upload them to an appreciative gang of followers on my KZbin channel. Due to European regulations, I decided I needed to downsize my drone, but I still wanted to produce 4K videos. So, I bought the DJI Mini 4K, believing it could deliver nice enough footage for me to then edit into shape. BOY, was I mistaken. This drone is a piece of horse doodoo compared to the Mavic 2 Pro. 400$ down the drain.

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

Only $300 here! For a beginner’s drone, it has amazing features. Not having to register it is also a big plus. I’ll definitely upgrade in the near future though.

[@GÖTEBORGSBYGGENII]

​@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures $400 is with the "Fly more combo". We all need more batteries.

[@jacklangan9693]

Never said how far 🙈

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

Aah you missed it! 1.3 miles but was shooting through 🌲 trees.

[@713lexo]

Why don’t they just say it’s the mini 2 lol why call it another name ? Jajaja rip off

[@AnnalisasAwesomeAdventures]

You’re right! Same specs exactly. Must be some type of marketing scheme.
