I refreshed the firmware update in DJI Assistant, plus did compass & IMU calibrations. The distance it gets has doubled to about 1.5 km -better but still not as promoted.I returned mine back to dji for the same problem. Mine woud start dropping RC signal around 400 meters. I also started a thread on it. I will know more in the coming weeks on what dji will do to fix the issue.
i know how disappointing this is. I got a bit more distance (to 1.5km) after doing IMU & compass calibrations. I also did a 'refresher' of the firmware update with the DJI Assistant. Not sure which of these brought the improvements.
i got the same distance (about 1.5 km) with my Mavic 2 Pro. I am in Australia. Do you think DJI limits the distance in countries like UK & Oz at our gov't's insistance?Thanks for the info I’ll try that tonight and see if I get better results. Seen a video on YouTube of a guy in the UK (York dales) and flew his MA2 for miles. As this is my second MA2 I doubt it’s an issue with the unit itself as my older one was exactly the same. Will try the same tonight and post back results
You are limited to CE power compared to USA FCC I believe in Oz. UK for sure. That would be a significant difference in range.i got the same distance (about 1.5 km) with my Mavic 2 Pro. I am in Australia. Do you think DJI limits the distance in countries like UK & Oz at our gov't's insistance?
these guys bragging about 5 mile distances - maybe they are paid by DJI?
I can see you are smart. How best can I adjust Transmission settings in the MA2 for better range? Any video to help me understand this?

I have a MA2 and MP2. I can't recall a time that the air 2 went out less than the more expensive doneHad the Mavic Air 2 for over a week & cannot go beyond 800 m before getting weak signal warnings or screen goes blank & AC initiates RTH.
I fly in flat areas over water or woodlands so no wifi interference. Set iPhone on airplane mode. Changed the cable from controller to phone as some said DJI can provide inferior cables. Raised altitude for less physical interference. I do not understand the mechanics of setting transmission to manual so it remains on automatic.
Time to return the drone?
