Flight Performance & Flight Time
The battery in the drone is really quite something, as it has been regarded as one of the best drone batteries of all time. With a charge life of approximately 27 minutes long, which has never been done before, DJI really stepped their game up. The battery has a capacity of 3830 mAh, a voltage of 11.4 and is a LiPo 3S type.
The flight performance of this drone is really quite amazing. With simple features, a great flying experience, and all around capabilities that make this drone one of the best, it's no wonder why it's become one of the biggest best sellers since its initial release.
For starters, it can fly up to a top speed of approximately 40 miles per hour, can keep a clear video going from nearly 7 kilometers away. The smaller motors and rotors mean that pushing this drone to the limit is not a good idea, however.
The legs are also of a smaller length, so keeping the clearance to the ground as high as possible is a smart idea. This is because you will not have as much clearance when it comes to taking off and landing, and tall grass should be avoided entirely. The precision hovering capability allows the drone to hover over you when outdoors to ensure that it can target you.
However, you must be in an area that is below satellites, or it will not be able to align properly and will drift around. However, this can generally be dealt with through GPS indoors and out, as long as you can use it from your phone while it is attached to the controller, thanks to the downward and forward vision sensors.
