Flying the DJI Mini 4 Pro from an Aircraft Carrier + Range Test (SRRC)

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

The Home point showing on the live camera is a really nice feature.

[@hypemilitaria6447]

Agreed! Definitely helps when trying to navigate the drone home visually.

[@martinernert9355]

Nice! I really like how you switched between the controller and the drone view and also showed the difference between D-LOG M and edited footage! Great job!

[@martinernert9355]

By the way I pushed the mini 3 pro to 8km in Europe (I read the UK comment). Haven’t made a range test with the 4 pro yet but I think it could go further. Anyway. Kind regards

[@hypemilitaria6447]

That's awesome; no such luck here with mine unfortunately; SRRC and the fact that Shanghai is just absolutely full of WiFi routers bombarding every band might have something to do with it. It's why I was so delighted to see the Mini 4 Pro reach 5km haha.

[@martinernert9355]

This bombarding has definitely something to do with it! ;) I‘m kind of secluded around here so I’m lucky. (beside that you need to have visual contact to your drone by law…) But you all know how it works in reality Also I’m able to shoot this little guy up to 500m! (won’t do it unless there is are any circumstances like birds or a sudden scenario where you have to) Why? C0 certificate in Europe allows maximum to 120m. Do you have any information about that?

[@Diantane]

Which carrier is this? Did it get to this area through that narrow canal? What location is this?

[@hypemilitaria6447]

It's not a real one. It's very likely a static testbed they used to do systems integration/testing as well as training back when they were still getting the Liaoning carrier operational. Now that they have moved on to the 002, 003 and are developing the 004 carriers, they have no more need for the testbed and have converted it into a museum.

你太棒了！

True

[@Lolpopi8547]

This is so cool! What are the local laws on drones? Can anyone come and fly a drone on the carrier? If so, I'm booking a trip immediately! Such a cool flying spot!

[@hypemilitaria6447]

Yup. The park belongs to the People's Liberation Army but they have no restrictions on drones during open hours. Just make sure to get out of the park before 5pm as that's when the park closes and the PLA start using the place for PT and training. The place is 东方绿洲 if you're interested

[@hypemilitaria6447]

@@Lolpopi8547 Also, in regards to Chinese laws on drones, pretty much any drone under 250g (basically any of the DJI mini series drones) can be flown without licensing and restrictions, provided that it's not being flown in a restricted zone.

[@Lolpopi8547]

@@hypemilitaria6447 Awesome! that is so cool! That's strange though that China also has the 250g law, I thought that was just an American thing.

[@MadComputerScientist]

5km!! :o

[@DroneLifeLelystad]

Great range tesr😊 but to what can we compare SRRC to? FCC or CE

[@hypemilitaria6447]

Thanks! In the 2.4GHz band, SRRC has the same power as CE, In the 5.8GHz band, SRRC is between FCC and CE in terms of transmit power.

[@grizzlybear2702]

@@hypemilitaria6447it also has a 5.2ghz frequency

[@andychurches7280]

Was the carrier deck made of steel?

[@hypemilitaria6447]

Should have been, albeit there is a thick anti-slip coating on it. Didn't seem to have interfered with the drone or the controller's magnetic compass though.

[@optiondrone5468]

I got my mini 4 in the UK I can never get this type of range, is there a way I can get a better range from my UK model?

[@hypemilitaria6447]

Unfortunately, there is no way to bypass the transmit power restrictions on the drone without spoofing the GPS or jailbreaking it. Having to work with similar SRRC restrictions, I've found that the best ways to get more range is to fly from a vantage point and/or keep the top of the controller pointed in the direction of the drone while in flight. Being further away from active RF emitting sources like cell towers or dense concentrations of WiFi routers also helped.

[@optiondrone5468]

@@hypemilitaria6447 thanks man, I'll look into the jailbreak option and also flying away from interfearing WiFi signals.

[@tahirtaura4698]

is the dji mini 4 pro can do mapping?

[@hypemilitaria6447]

I don't think so. This is an enterprise level feature, don't think the Mini 4 Pro has it. Haven't seen it in mine anyways.

[@bidenisasnake9932]

Mapping is after market 3rd party.
