My farthest distance flight to date was 13,820 feet (4.2 km, 2.6 miles) in Illinois last week over farmland. Several other flights in excess of 12,000 feet max distance the same week. Completely stock P3 Pro with SummitLink quick-connect prop protectors installed and PolarPro ND 8 filter on camera lens. Screen grab below shows P3 at turnaround point. Still had full transmitter signal bars and smooth live video at that distance and throughout flight. HD Link set to Custom, channel 20, 4 mbps video transmission rate, iPad Air 2 as mobile device, antennae parallel to one another, pointing straight up with wide flat sides pointed at P3, P-GPS mode under operator control both directions. You can see outbound flight path was not perfectly straight, but return flight was. Landed P3 on same Welcome mat it took off from with 12% battery left. Total flight distance flown was 28,363 feet.
