I took my phantom 3 standard out on the weekend, but could only fly 500m away before I got an alert saying maximum distance reached? Is there a way around this? I tried to enter a higher maximum distance but the app wouldn't let me. I've seen loads of people fly over 500m away!

Anyway, here's a new video (I wanted to fly further)

You have the Max Distance limit enabled.
Switch that off and you can fly - but you have to have the Phantom connected when you change the setting.

Phantomluke... You are not stupid... I would classify your attitude as "excited". We have all been there! I would strongly suggest you read thru and understand all of the manual and screens on your phone/tablet soon. You will find yourself in an awkward position while flying and you will need to know how to respond immediately. Hindsite is a beautiful thing But not very helpful in the moment! Have fun.. Fly safe!

Thanks!! Yeah I am excited to fly! Can't get enough! I'm still under an hour of flying time so I have a lot to learn
 
the learning part is fun... as long as we can keep it inexpensive! Both physically and monetarily! $$$$
