Nice landscape! 9:00 is my favorite shot! You have a good time in your drone battle. Looking forward to seeing more. Thanks for posting.

Very cool comparison. Thanks for the demonstration

A responsible range test. They used a spotter to keep a visual on the drones.

Awesome video Ken. And thank you for having a spotter and showing the RIGHT way to do a range test. There’s another KZreadr that doesn’t do that. He sets a bad example. Love that you use spotters in other videos too. And I’ve also seen the other video demonstrating how to go under a bridge. That’s a good one too.

Awesome, I look forward to my next distance test. I need to find a really calm day. The first test I did was at the beach and it was pretty windy, so I only flew 17,000 ft before the drone said it needed to return because f battery level. But my reception was still perfect, it was cool I flew straight down the surf meeting the sand at about 15 ft high for over 3 miles and I recorded it. I love my Air 2, it’s not overrated, it’s really a capable drone.

Those intelligent flight batteries drop down to around 55% or so if you fully charged them but say leave them sit in your storage bag to 2 days or so before you fly again those batteries self deplete. Some people do not realize this but it is a failsafe and should make the batteries last longer.

In fact Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. died during his suicide mission. The plane he was in was wired to the hilt with explosives, he was to bail out and then the plane would be piloted remotely and steered into a German munitions factory, it went badly. JFK had to step in and be groomed to be the first Irish Catholic president.

I use the air 2S and range is definitely limited below 150ft. To get the most out of the range I’d fly around 300ft or more.

You as well, Rodney! 🇺🇲

They're both using Ocusync 2.0 - if anything (and providing you get your antenna orientations correct) the P4P has a hard limit of 17.9km videio transmission whereas the Air 2 is limited to 11km so at least in theory the P4P could be pushed much further. Throw in the P4P's more robust powetrain and its more likley to make it home in stronger wind conditions vs the AIr 2. Still both great little quads, cant go wrong with either!

Nice video. Was really fun all through 😍😍😍

That new Mavic Air 2 is a great drone, and I'm not surprised it won the range test. I'd go ahead order one.

I'm really tempted to buy the Mavic Air2, very impressive drone. Thanks guys!!!

Great video! You guys made this very entertaining and fun to watch. Thumbs up for the *Electric Boogaloo* statement! Surprise that you even know of it..lol

Altitude does matter ..

OK, I can vouch for the 15,000 feet - I actually went just over 17,000 at the Oregon Coast just 4 weeks ago. My Mavic Air 2 still had a good signal when the safety system kicked in and decided it needed to turn and start home to insure there was adequate battery to get there. Weird, it quit at about 17,000 ft but still showed 60% battery level. I still had 35% power when it returned home. I’m thinking the drone was gauging the power requirement based on the initial flight north along the surf, where it was flying against a pretty steady southern wind. Not sure. Bottom line this is my 3rd Drone and it is awesome - My first drone was a Parrot Beebop 2, then had the Parrot Anafi, both were great in there own right and for their respective cost. Parrot makes some really good drones also and at pretty reasonable prices. But I gotta say, the DJI Mavic Air 2 is at another level. Great drone design, very durable, great distance, great reception, great camera, great flexibility, great software. It’s just plain fun to fly and goof around with. It makes a 62 year old man like me feel like a kid again. Which I sure noticed was the case with these two fellas. Good job guys I enjoyed the video. Thanks

Not hard to go far when you got nothing in your way in your 400 feet high did you notice when they were low-to-the-ground it did no better then the first generation ocusync in the phantom 4 pro.. oh I'm sorry 100ft more LOL.

You’re facing the antennas the wrong way using the air 2 ...it was only like 500ft in the air and yet u were facing the antennas almost straight up.. could of gone a lot farther dispite losing LOS, I bet it would of gone double what you did,

Great video Ken, I really enjoy mine. Be safe guys

Blame the laws of physics. Trees attenuate the signal, unless you massively increase transmitted power that problem will always be with you, and drones don't have that option open to them.

Why do you keep the RC pointed to the sky and not to the drone? I can bet that everybody is doing the same mistake.
