I got 3.4km today with my P4Pro+ (perfect video signal), I live in Brazil (CE) so it was really surprising for me. I will take some screenshots in the next time.
Just outside my little city there is an excellent area for this kind of range test, completely free of interferences.

I flew this week with my p4p and went 5km away. I live in Brazil to, in Goiania, and I took off from autodromo towards a rural region, side by side to highway GO-020. Except for some signal faults of video, at times my signal of radio was full at all times, and for this reason, I believe I can fly even further. I'll also try to take some pictures next time.

I live in Goiás too, but are you flying using FCC or CE ? My drone is completely stock,  except for Litchi.

Reached 3,6Km today, next time I will try 5,3Km, that is the distance between the point I started the flight and the top of the mount outside the small city I live in.
I also tested today the v2.0 "low noise" props, I liked the result when taking off and landing.

I wish you good luck to reach 5.3 km!

The question was why he can't fly more than 300-500m.
That is really odd. If you have the right position of antennas, not obstructed VLS and no radio interference, that's really odd. DJI should solve this I think. And you may post here the flight log file of that flight.

Hi Jason, I think the issue here is that the latest DJI go 4 app doesn’t run well on iPad Air 1. I read other users reporting issues on iPad Air 1 so recently I got myself iPad air2 and I can tell you that it barely runs well the latest app version. I only need to leave DJI go 4 on it, otherwise if I have other stuff installed, then I get pixelation issues.
So try on another device I advise you.

I got 5km man, a bit worried at that distance so I RTH, but there was still an excellent video signal.The drone passed to the left of the mount through a ~15km unobstructed and free of interference course, excellent for range tests.

It seems that DJI has finally changed Brazil to a FCC zone.

Congrats mate, thanks for sharing!
