As noted here, your drone is emitting Aeroscope/RID from the drone and can be picked up as far as 50Km, although a common phone/tablet won't go longer than 3.5Km or so and the portable Aeroscope unit tops around 5Km.
I've been long ranging/travelling/exploring for around 580 hours of flight time, most of which have been BVLOS usually in the range of 1,000 to 3,000 meters. My record is reaching 9,040 meters and coming back, but I usually perform this test only once to see the capabilities of the drone whenever I pick a new one, and then stay under a comfortable 4Km radius for the most part.
All that time I've been flying a drone (except the Autel, but it died at just 60 hours) it has been emitting Aeroscope (
Mini 2,
Air2S,
Mavic 3), and since the last year, also RID, I've never been caught mainly because I live in a sparse populated area under uncontrolled airspace, but 30 minutes of flight is plenty of time to hunt anyone down with Aeroscope/RID.
I also never had an incident... yet, **** happens so it's just a matter of time that a prop goes off, or a motor dies midflight, but I try to minimize risks as much as I can.
My main tip is simple, pick a
Mavic 3, hack it with the latest hack that removes Aeroscope/RID and enjoy your time as a photographer/videographer/hobbyist. Flying is fun, chilling and probably the safest hobby on earth, so there's no reason to be more royalist than the king with all that nonsensical overregulation.
