Before suggesting potential hacks I think one should learn how to exploit what's already in, and it's not that bad.
With clear recipient "the new user" it is important to stay clear of any soaking obstacles (like trees and vegetation), preferably from a vantage point (observation deck or terrace, peak, hill side), always maintain Line of Sight, learn ho to orient the antennas, and use manual frequency selection.
In the nature where no other interfering source is present is best to use 2.4 GHz using manual selection. Auto selection takes place only at power up. Without any 3rd party accessories on I was able to fly about 500m city with 5.8 GHz and 2000m with 2.4 GHz in the countryside.
Now with experience and parabolic reflectors I can comfortable reach 1.8 Km in the open (far from the cities). Exactly 1.3 Km in excess of what DJI says. Anyway... I can still go up to about 2 Km using parabolic reflectors + Yagi/Uda boosters combined. No need to switch to 2.4 GHz as 5.8 GHz is more stable as it is outside the range of most if not all home/office Wi-Fi routers.-
4Km is a spec never seen for a Mavic Mini:
The CE model range is as follows: 2 Km for the 2.4 GHz, 500m for the 5.8 GHz. The FCC version can reach 2.5 Km using the 5.8 GHz frequency.
