More satellite connections = a better connection and obviously a better, further flight. Perhaps there is no interference and you are in an area where that is no satellite connection. Typically your model’s connection has a harder time reaching through rocks and solid areas like buildings than trees. There are power lines in the way, routers, modems, phones, and they all contribute to the interference and weaken the signal.

Trees are in between your controller/phone and the drone. Here are some examples of interference that can go on:

Most of the time when you fly, there is a lot of “interference” going on that you may not be aware of, but you drone is and it absolutely impacts it’s distance potential on an invisible level that you can only see when the feed you see on your phone or remote starts to act up, but you haven’t gone as far as you wanted to with your model. The advertised distance potential you see on some of the top models for example are the maximum distances that CAN be reached, but under the PERFECT circumstances that I will talk about shortly. You need to know 1 very important thing about drone distance: My question led me to discover why exactly many models don’t fly as far as they advertise flying and the truth is that if you do the things I’m going to show you, you will increase your drone’s range potential and likely hit the same distance as the advertisements claim. It flew no further than 2 kilometers and I wondered why this was. Being extremely excited about this, on my second time using it, I decided to test this out. When I bought my Mavic Pro, prior to doing so, I had read it can reach a flight distance of up to 7-8 kilometers. I’ll explain how to make sure you get the best range out of yours. If it does try enabling it to view the webpage.A drone’s maximum range potential always varies because of a multitude of reasons.
