I have owned my Mini2 for about 6 weeks, during which time I have watched countless tutorial and practised safely. However, despite the claimed max flying distance being 10km / 6miles I have found that the ax distance is really 2km / 1.25 miles before the red bars sink to one and the screen goes blank. The first time this happened I paniked however, the RTH really does work and, within 15 seconds normal service had resumes and I was able to regain control and return home a different route.
Last week, I purchased a Yagi antenna which claimed to improve the range by 30% (having swapped to the 5.8 MHz frequency). It may make a difference but it's not really apparent. I still have more or less the same limit of 2.8km / 1.74 miles before we lose all connection.
Having said all that, if one is supposed to keep the drone within visual site then flights become relatively pointless anyway save for nearby photography ....
