Hi there.
It seems to help if you select the video transmission channel to manuel and pick the best one.
Seems like 5.8 ghz seems to be the ticket.
If you can't get good video transmission on 5.8 ghz you might have a bad antenna or main board or both like my first mavic air.

You have to be on the ground to set the channel . click the custom button and pick the best channel by imputing the channel number.
You'll see what channel your on .it will be in blue.

Hi, did not try yet, just wondering the best is the number with the highest chart or according the colour? ( green- the best, red the worst)
Thanks

Hi.. No problemo.
I don't think you can set the altitude higher than 500 meters and wouldn't suggest you fly higher than 400 feet agl.

Want to take a picture of all island and from 500m it is impossible. With my Phantom 3 standard could go like 2km altitude with no problem. Why they did just 500m now?

Because a drone flying that high could cause major issues to maned aircraft if a collision should occur .
I believe they should have places that would allow for high altitude flights ,but these days there has been too many people flying recklessly around airports above 400 ft agl.
Flying over 400 ft agl is taboo and can land you in big trouble. In fact there's not much mention of high altitude flight records anymore and the few pilots still flying high don't post or mention it much for fear of prosecution .

I'm not sure what the laws are in Indonesia ,but I wouldn't want to find out the hard way..
