Got my DJI a couple of days ago and it asked me to do an update within a couple of days. Since then will only let me go 30 meters up and 40 meters across before it automatically returns to home. Still have video feed- keeps coming up weak signal feed/signal lost. Tried IMU calibration, compass calibration, relinked the remote and still get full signal with the camera bar but no range signal on the app. Also tried flying with no app and no phone connected and still the same issues. Seems like it goes only a little further than beginner mode- any ideas as DJI chat/email have been no help? Any information/ideas I could try would be much appreciated. Thanks
PS- once landed and motors have stopped, turned my back and it restarted and flipped over onto the blades? Its like its posessed!

Brother in law bought a standard and had the same issue. The fix? tilt the phone holder to the left so the phone is beside the controller, not in the center. Give it a try.

Hello Crag, it is recommended to adjust the antenna during the flight. Here is a video of RC practice:

If the drone keeps triggering RTH with a short distance in different environment, it is recommended to contact our service center in North America for diagnosis. Here is the information:

The RC and antenna position is very important.

If you watch this video about the ARGtek mod, he states that BlueProton (company that makes the ARGtek mod) P3S range vary a lot between drones, so it seem there is a issue with the antennas on the Standard

I got mine out just over 400m (in Australia which is lower powered CE mode), without and mods.
