The distance is going to depend on several factors, particularly the interference in your flying area.I’m a new owner of a V1 P4P but I’m have trouble achieving the advertised distance in the specs of 500 meters altitude and 8000 meter distance i can only fly to 1/2 of that spec before it comes back to me what is the secret that I am missing please help
Added to the above, also your antenna orientation in relation to the aircraft.i can only fly to 1/2 of that spec before it comes back to me what is the secret that I am missing please help
This is the maximum altitude. It cannot be turned off. Adjust lower, yes. Max distance can be turned off.Make sure you have 500 m max turned off.

A 12 buck reflector can be your best friend if you want distance, but trees, buildings, objects in between the bird and the RC are the biggest issue for me.

Note the part I've underlined from the specs.
Max Transmission Distance 2.400 - 2.483 GHz (Unobstructed, free of interference) FCC: 4.3 mi (7 km)
It's still going to vary a lot with your local interference environment.For me 5.8 auto is best but still not distance in spec from dji
Oh, it works for sure. It directs all your communication towards the bird, instead of the basic 360 scenario. You do have to mind the direction the transmitter is facing.Does this work or gimmick

Go to the desert or over the ocean for max range.
Expect considerably less in an urban environment.

Meta4 was being exact and serious in his post above, you cannot depend on these distances each time. The numbers are under IDEAL circumstances. And If you are not in the US, you wont get those.Are you being funny with the reply, is that info in the book concerning desert and ocean flying
Terrain, interference, and atmospheric conditions can all contribute to range limitations. I know that based on where I fly, I rarely get more than 2,000m distance.
I'm thinking it would be a whole lot better if DJI hadn't advertised such extended flight distances.
Some folks are bound to test their models based on such info. if for no other reason than to challenge claims made the manufacturer.
The OP may very well be an example of such activity, plain and simple, as I'm sure you are all well aware of, but simply want to help this individual better understand how the equipment works, this obviously to no avail. C' est La Vie : )
