It is a mode your drone switches to depending on our location. If you are in europe, your mode is CE. If you are in USA, your mode is FCC.What is this "CE" mode?
Simple. Turn the settings off. By turning it on you are limiting yourself to 500 meters.I'm very new to all of this. So in the app, I can not change distance to anything further than 500 meters. Just skimming through the posts, I read something about the remote being defaulted to CE mode. Which limits distance to 500 meters. Then someone posted screen shots from a manual stating there was a screw inside the remote. Turning it full clockwise would set it to FCC mode. I just had mine open and did not see a screw anywhere. Ugh just re read it and it's for the phantom 2 remotes. So everyone with the standard, how are they getting 1500 plus feet distance? If the app sets a limit to 1500 feet give or take.

8000 feet, meters, 8 km? I am confused as I thought the range on the standard was about 1kmYou may want to check you antenna wire inside. I got about 8k a couple weeks ago on my standard. Stock only. No windsurfer. Over water will do it as there is very very little interference. Clear video the entire way.

8000 is about 1.7 miles. If you want it in kilometers. Google it. 2.45 kilometers. Listed range and real range are 2 different things. If I used a mod I could go further.8000 feet, meters, 8 km? I am confused as I thought the range on the standard was about 1km
Awesome, super jealous. Have a ticket with DJI right now8000 is about 1.7 miles. If you want it in kilometers. Google it. 2.45 kilometers. Listed range and real range are 2 different things. If I used a mod I could go further.

It was over a lake. But I did lost connection with my Phantom on the way it RTH for 6 minutes.7000 feet, well over a mile and absolutely out of site. What justification could someone possibly have to take on such a dangerous flight plan???
I don't think flying over land is dangerous though. It is out of sight anyway even if I fly it over land at 1000 ft with my vision. But I can see what my drone see on the screen when it is out of sight. As long as I am not flying sideway/backward at long distance, I don't think it is dangerous. For long distance flight, I always fly forward and make sure no obstacle.Ahhhh see...I thought it was over land...
I agree with this. I'm gonna be a total fpv flyer from now own. I can't get over the clarity of the goggles. Which I can see much better than los. But I will do los until I can't see it anymore.I don't think flying over land is dangerous though. It is out of sight anyway even if I fly it over land at 1000 ft with my vision.

It's more about your comfort level and personal preference. The Advanced and Pro are designed for over a mile out. The P4 is rated at over 3 miles. The results for the Standard vary widely but even at the rated 1Km (3280 feet) it's out of the visual range. If you know your surroundings and are comfortable, fly it. If not, don't. A crash can happen even if you are watching it. One wrong move and, splat. No one I've met here is trying to lose hundreds of dollars in equipment and take on a liability headache. But that's just my off-topic opinion.Can't see above you, can't see below you, can't see besides you...and you guys think flying these things isn't dangerous that way? All I can say is, wow. Not trying to be a jerk or Mr. Morality or anything, I just don't think it should be something that is common practice/advocated.
