    Hi

    Can't seem to get anymore range from my drone once is hits near the 500 meters mark, I live in the country side so nothing can be interfering with it in the big open fields. What range can ye get out of them?

    hi, I've only realised that there was a drone forum on boards, but i had a similar problem when i updated the firmware.

    basically the latest firmware changed the settings from FCC compliant where there was 4km range to CE compliant which is 500m

    you need to downgrade the firmware on the drone and remote to whatever firmware it was and then never update the firmware again. it involves a collander and a fake GPS app on your phone so that the DJI app thinks you're in North America.

    I used the second option on this link
