Only about 80% of Mini 3 owners complaining of the same.

Wait, I know, we are all telling porkys and Just being really nasty DJI lying bullies.

All we can tell you is, if its used correctly and the conditions are favourable, the range is as it should be.

If you're anywhere near Norfolk, come over to my range test place and i will show you.

The issue has remained! The range is patetic - about 300 m! I posted my experience with the Mini 3 Pro I purchased last week: https://forum.dji.com/forum.php? ... 1&page=1#pid2942554

This issue was resolved for Canadian users, they were stuck in our CE mode.

Sadly just posting videos of other's issues will not help your cause, at all. If folks haven't learnt by now that DJI is not going to do anything then you never will, the reason they will not help is because there is nothing wrong.

You need to make sure the DJI RC's compass is calibrated or if using the N1 rc make sure your phone's compass is calibrated, to check, in the Fly app Live View screen, enable the Flight Attitude Radar, send the drone 100m away making sure you can still see it, point the top of the RC (spot-on) at the drone, look at the FAR, does it match what you're seeing with the drone, i.e. is the RC indicator lined up with the drone, it is, the point of the arrow should be lined up right at the drone and it should be green. if its pointing away from the drone then the compass in the RC or your phone needs calibrating (not the drones compass).

Once the compass is right, you will be able to use the FAR to make sure you are always perfectly aligned on the horizontal plane, the vertical plane will need tweaking the further away you are, if you're about 1500m away then the RC should be pretty much flat in your hands, its not a comfortable position to be holding the RC but thats just the way it is, the Mini 2 was the same, it just wasn't so picky with a perfect alignment closer in.

My offers stands, if you're ever on the Norfolk-Suffolk border, let me know beforehand and I can meet up and help you achieve the best possible range.

FYI, when on the limit of the signal, slowing the drone right down to a crawl will improve the signal, the steeper the pitch angle the worse the signal becomes.

This was many months ago and its old news, you are talking about issues now, in the present and there are none when you follow guidance, sadly folks wont listen and just keep posting videos, so I'm out.

All i can do now is suggest you contact support, or take/send it back for a refund if within the allotted time.

You are kidding, right? ok, i will carry on, your link's search is poop, and i will explain.

  • The 1st one in the list, asks about improving the range right? here is one answer and the original posts answer
Fly it in open spaces, away from buildings, trees, masts and any other sources of interference, with line of sight between controller and drone, and at a higher altitude. Also check the KP index is less than 5 and that you have sufficient satellites locked.
OP replies, ok thanks for that info

So he was/is a newbie that didn't know the simplest of all things RC

   2. Next on the list is an RC mod with external antennas, totally not needed but it's their money.
   3. Next is just a question so not actually their own experience  
Is the range on mini 3 pro good enough . I have heard that max distance is 1000m??
Is rc without display better for range ?

   4. Next is a comical image of a range test
   5. Next is a question regarding how good the RC is over the iPhone
   6. Next is someone in a CE country asking how to get more range, nothing more, we don't know how far they get already, it could be 300m or 3000m, they do not comment further so there is no telling
   7. Next is actually a post of mine lol its a video i did of my local steam rally
   8. Next and you'll love this one, the op says and with a picture of the trip
My absolute range today 4950 meters
