This guy goes 40 km (almost 25 miles), with a modified battery:

I don't think the video specifies which controller he is using.

He's using 30km as what DJI quotes for the signal range, so must be the RC Pro 2. He exceeded that by 10km!

I think that is visible on the controller screen so not used in this instance.

You'll be glad you did! Everyone who has flown with both never flies with the RC 2 again.

Now if I could just find one...

How much farther? What does the RC 2 max out at?

RC2 used to tap out between 5 to 6km but RC Pro 2 went past 10km with just 1 signal bar drop

No 4G Dongle shown there so really impressive.

there is a highway so it could be fake because it would be easy to drive a car and stay close to the drone. I believe it is fake unless I'm missing something?

Don't that that to me! I am in hut for RC Pro 2 myself! I bought mine, the "fly more combo" and that one came with RC2. I am in hunt for RC Pro 2 ever since, but now you are making me wanting it more!

As I mentioned earlier, if anyone knows a good source where to buy it, for a reasonable price, let me know! I am not that super confident buying it off eBay anymore, with Korean sellers charging hundreds of $$$ for shipping and who knows what tariffs I will get charged by customs. I was in fact thinking to reach out to my Canadian friend and have him order it there (hoping its not that overly priced like what Adorama and B&H is selling it here in US) and have him ship it to me as "gift", that should avoid any tariffs, I assume....

Okay folks, I decided to pull a trigger on this RC Pro 2. Managed to snatch a good deal from a Korean seller, bought it for $948 and $47 for shipping and voila!



It was here, in Dallas, with FedEx within 3 days! I am impressed!

I did some more flying today with my new RC Pro 2 and let me tell you, completely different experience! Its not just the RC display picture quality, but gimbal and zoom control is much smoother, no more jerky footage. I have no regrets purchasing it!

Your comments are gong to cost me some money. ;-)

I was deliberating myself, but after reading numerous positive posts on this forum, I decided a pull a trigger on it! First, I was very reluctant spending over 1k for a freakin' remote, a price I paid for my A3S fly-more-combo, but managed to snatch a good deal off eBay and honestly, I have no regrets at all! I was telling my wife that "Christmas arrived early for me" when she was asking about package FedEx just dropped off at my porch!

If you want to get one, I would suggest to keep a close eye on eBay, they offer good deals from time to time! You can buy them here in US as well, from retailers such as B&H Photo or Adorama, but they are just asking ridiculous price for it!

Good luck to you!

What about it makes the gimbal and zoom smoother?

must be those dial controls on RC itself. I believe, the RC Pro 2 has more sensitive dial controllers than my RC2 that drone originally came with. Just my opinion
