Hi.
I have a Phantom 4 Pro (ver 1). The range used to be amazing and rather suddenly it dropped to very poor, like a 1/2 mile. Anyway, I researched this on this forum and it was suggested that I repair the controller to the drone. I did all that and it worked. I initially the range did improve, but nothing like it once was (8000 feet easy). It's was short lived and I can't get down the block without it loosing its signal and wanting to come home.

Anyway, is there anything I can do to get the range back? It's borderline useless the way it is now.

Do the electronics "wear out" overtime? IDK... shouldn't but any ideas on a fix would be great!

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out and we're sorry for the trouble. Can you please confirm if the issue happens in a different location? Ensure that the aircraft is flying within the optimal transmission zone. To achieve the best transmission performance, maintain the appropriate relationship between the operator and the aircraft. You may refer to the image below. Please keep us posted. Thank you.

Hello.

Yes. This happens in different areas with the same results. And yes I do position the attenats as shows and m always moving to face the drone.

I have had exactly the same issue with my Phantom 4 pros. Like yours mine used to be amazing. Plenty of range to operate really well within visual line of sight. Now I start getting a green screen at a couple hundred yards. I sure wish somebody could pipe in with a solution. If I had changed firmware or anything at all, then there would be something to work with, but I haven’t for a very long time.
