Yes. DJI makes the "device" that you are looking for.
They call it a "user manual."
I LOL'ed and probably would have said something similarly snarky, considering the 1km default limit is very clearly a user configurable setting in the software... the way the question was phrased halfway deserved that kind of response. at least he wasn't rude it was just funny.
anywho spud you're clear about that now ya? the 1km isn't an equipment limitation, it's a software restriction you can set to be whatever you want via Phantom Assistant just like the height limit but make sure you understand the laws in your country for example out of the box the Phantom can go to an illegal US height. anyway the RC will reach much farther go check out all the guys doing distance competitions on Youtube.
talking about other peripherals.. I personally wouldn't cut corners for a few percentage points of saving. a pair of official DJI blades is $20usd, and there are "2 packs" of official blades (full set of 4 blades) on Amazon for $35usd saving you $5 off retail... but make sure to check the comments and stuff and be wary of any blades under the "official" retail price... there are several guys on amazon selling blade pairs for $10-$14usd that are fakes advertised as real. Common wisdom around here is it's very unwise to mix DJI and non-DJI props.
talking about adding FPV equipment... pretty much the cheapest place online for that stuff is BangGood.com. the stuff may take a few weeks like mine took 5 to arrive from asia to the US but if you're in NZ it might be quicker but if you're not in a hurry you can save $ on your FPV Tx and for example the Boscam RX-LCD5802 that a lot of people here run is $60-$70 cheaper on banggood than any US store I've seen. fwiw, I got the like $10 antennas from BG and they're crap I should have known better.
If you're trying to get good FPV long distance, you'll have to splurge on antennas. There's a really nice 3 antenna set (1 Tx, 2 Rx) on FPVLR.com
here but folks are getting plenty of distance out of cheaper sets too. I'm sure somebody in AU/NZ makes good antennas
