in today's video I'll be showing you the maximum distance range test of my DJI
phantom 3 standard so stay tuned so I decided to test and see how far my DJI
phantom 3 standard can go so after conducting this test I've noticed
there's about three or four key things that impacts your drones distance so
tell you all about it a little bit later so stay with me from what I've read the
DJI phantom 3 standard can go up to one kilometer so the exercise here is to try
and reach one kilometer just so you know I didn't modify my drone or I'm not
using any Wi-Fi extender a range extender a music pretty much all stop
off the shelf when you buy the drone this is what you're getting quick note
if you are conducting any range test please follow any FAA or drone
regulations that's applicable in your local area or country or wherever you
are remember safety comes first when flying drones okay now that's out of the
way let's get straight into the video his first test as you know again the
usual calibration it so happened make sure you wait to the GPS number is ready
you know seven and above will do to hide the number two better
seems to be doing well and I am flying high above about 50 meters
leave when they meet is 80 meters that's where I'm at
see how far I can go for reaching 200 meters now and I'm going at about 200
300 and it looks like my signal isn't that strong my GPS satellite is about
eight but my Wi-Fi signal is a little bit low as well as my remote control
sort of remote control signals so it's automatically flying back home at about
300 309 meters so it's a little bit disappointing
I suspect the location diamond has poor signals so I'm gonna see whether I can
try and do another test somewhere else same goes here in the second test I'm
gonna be in a lake as you can see here again doing the calibration making sure
it's all well connected GPS satellite is connected now and I've got about eight
so obviously the higher the number of the GPS find the better your flight
distance with your drone
as you can see here I'm really trying to push for it
I'm flying about 80 meters high
about 500 meters 540 slowly disappearing my transmission signals coming week yeah
my remote control signals read my GPS satellites actually pretty good cell 11
yes sir but 555 meters decided to live back home so yeah it's a little bit
better than the first one a second C so my GPS satellites so a higher I find
that the my remote control signals that great I know Wi-Fi signal isn't that
great a source so that's what probably one of the things I've noticed compared
to my previous tests so and now it's flying back home now so yeah let's
I've gotten under the test unfortunately unfortunately I forgot to record what
I'm doing in the screen so bear with me here doing the same calibration going up
I'm as high as every bar about 90 meters in height and the distance so the
distance I'm flying I managed to reach almost about 800 800 meters almost 1
kilometer there so before it went back home so I was really really pushing for
it I was trying to push hard for it now a definitely huge improvement from my
first test compared to the second and this one definitely a huge improvement
compared to the first test stuff done
just a quick recap first this maximum distance was about 300 meters second
about 500 meters and the third one bigger so third tests up conducted made
a couple changes and that made a huge impact or a huge improvement compared to
the first one so this is my personal findings four key things that impacts
your drones distance number one is the GPS satellite GPS satellite the higher
the number of the cheapest the better your GPS positioning is live at least
seven or eight if you want to reach your maximum distance I'll police say you
know an 11 or 12 again the higher the number the better the one is the remote
control antenna you want to make sure that whenever you're flying a drone
you're pointing the antennas directly to the direction of where your drone is
flying number three your Wi-Fi signal you're using Wi-Fi to connect your app
to the controller and to your drone if you're in a dead Wi-Fi spot if your
Wi-Fi signals pretty weak then that'll have an impact in here your transmission
signal will be pretty poor two very important that you have a strong Wi-Fi
signal lastly the weather if you're flying against the wind then yeah that
will have an impact to your flight distance I supposed to be flying sunny
weather yeah so look those are probably the four key things I picked up question
of the day what's the maximum distance that you reach with your drone love to
hear from you especially the drone community out there I love to hear from
you guys well that's really for me appreciate you guys for tuning in if you
enjoyed this video give it a like and subscribe to my channel for more
videos again this is Dennis signing out I'll see you all next time
remote control signal on now sorry control angle sir hey goo what's the
maximum distance of the DJI phantom 3 standard sorry I'm not sure how to help
with that the phantom 3 standard enforces a hard altitude limit which by
default is set to 120 meters
