As long as you have LOS you won't have any problem. DJI drones are the best stock long range quadcopters out there.
I did 6.2Km with the Air2s and about 4Km in the Mini 2 in an area with some interference and not in optimal unobstructed conditions. I could easily break those records if I went to an area free from inteference and took off from the top of a hill.
The main bottleneck of drones, unless you fly an VTOL, will be the battery. VTOL/fixed wing + 4G connection = 80Km+ trips.
In the sub 500 meter VLOS range you'll have perfect connection no matter what you do.
All the controllers are the same, DJI Fly selects FCC/CE depending on your GPS location, there are some software hacks to switch to FCC and some boosted antennas (Alientech) to increase the range without the need of hacks, but it's a bit nonsense. If you want more range, just take off closer to the working area.
Sometimes I travel 1 or 2 Km to the working area, and sometimes I just take off right in the place, it depends on how accesible is to get there. Sometimes 5 minutes of drone flight equals 30 minutes of driving, or sometimes you just cannot access by foot (cliffs, forest, top of the mountains, etc)
I use stock hard and soft btw. |
