What range?... Okay: here comes the confession - in the first week of buying her, I flew out a little over 1.5 miles on the default frequency (2.4gHz) and it didn't drop a bar. That's the limit of my experience.
After I'd got that out of my system, I knuckled down to using the camera for what it had been bought for: landscape photography, surveying old buildings and close detail shots of striking architectural features, happy in the knowledge that the control signal was overpoweringly strong and rock solid for close and medium range stuff.
Then the midden hit the windmill (firmware 'upgrade') and I had to find a workaround. The Zoom went from bulletproof reliable to liability - I'd get signal dropout if I flew it more than 50' away from the controller (horizontally or vertically)
