Hey guys, new to Drones and DJI respectively. Hit 0.8 miles my longest range yet in a farmers field I use.

A bit far away from the 3.1 miles DJI Claim?

I'm consistently making 1.5-2 miles easy with my Phantom 3 Standard. I could have made it further today but had a strong tail wind of 20 plus miles per hour and was worried about my return flight. I made 1.4 miles before I decided to turn the bird around. I was averaging 43-44mph on the way out and only 4-6mph on return flight so I am glad I didn't push it today. Good luck in your flights.

Not sure have to upload your flight logs. I'm getting over a mile plus in town with all the radio interferences and my bird is the P3S. I found that 250-500 is a sweet spot to fly long distances. I start out at 250 feet and go up gradually to 500 as I get further out! Always have good video outside of town sometimes in town my video is choppy around 4800 feet.

Upload my flight logs how? That was a screenshot from a log. I was having issues before then, then I got disconnected so RTH was hit and it came home.

Just curious....any mods? What's your FW rev?
 
Yes... Increase your altitude. You're probably losing signal due to the low LOS angle at 250'.

Okay will go to the same place as it's 3 minutes from me, will increase to 400ft (legal limit) and see where I can end up then?

My Advanced works like crap with my IPad mini 4 unless I have Airplane mode on.
