So, I find a place without any power lines, nearest building's, peoples, etc.
I have reach the 350 meters max, I point my antenna to aircraft after 200 meters away all the time (like an idiot) and on 350's signal totally lost and Phantom RTH.
I have latest firmware, fully charged battery, RC, iPhone (with latest DJI Go app), airplane mode turned on.
But 350 meters in the field, DJI, really?

By latest firmware, you know they just released a new one yesterday, right?

Aloha yaonya,

     The new update yesterday, December 21, 2015, enables a 600 meter range.  If you are using a compliant tablet or smartphone the updates should be no problem.  The update is for the P3S and Intelligent Batteries.  Also good for cold weather flying.  

Check out the link below.

Aloha GT,

     Having been on the receiving end of DJI "presents" myself, I can understand your need to confirm that you are seeing what you would like to believe!  Fly safe!
