Really? Where are you located?I only get 180m distance and height about 50m [emoji53][emoji53]
I was very happy with 385m which was pretty far for me.The big thing with distance on WI-FI is to choose a 2.4ghz channel with the smallest bar just before flying as it will be specific to the place and time and may not be the same as the last time you flew at the location.
I recently flew as above and was fairly pleased with the distance in my rural CE area. You could expect to see another 200/300m and although the signal is shown as poor and possibly laggy it still works. Another critical thing is to point the antennas correctly as shown in the manual so the face of the antenna is towards the AC.
I found I got warnings of low signal but Could fly beyond and the signal would even return by 're aligning the antenna with the AC. It has to be accepted that there's places you won't get more than 200/300m due to interference and places you will easily get more.
In reality 500m with the spark is more than enough for my needs to get good photos and videos of stuff.
As I am sure you are aware 120m/400ft agl is the legal limit you are allowed to fly in the UK under the air navigation order.The distance I have got with the spark is 385 metre and height about 300 metre.
What about you guys?
Why what happed ?? Y didnt u too it beyond 180??? Was there a signal issue ??I only get 180m distance and height about 50m [emoji53][emoji53]
Where do u live sparky786 and what faults u have found after new firmware?I was very happy with 385m which was pretty far for me.
But the new firmware had some faults, how far do you have to be from metal 3rd??
Sure I do agree with you.Just to clarify I don't and never have flown my spark or other quads above 100m as I understand the danger it poses to Aircraft. As to my background I've been flying RC aircraft for over 20 years and quads for the last 4 years and I'm a member of the BMFA. The reason I mention this is so you dont think I'm some hooligan who doesn't give a monkey's about the safety of others or this sport.
However I must say the CAA drone code and CAA regulations seem open to interpretation or confusing. The limitation of 400ft would appear to apply to drones or RC aircraft over 7kg. Yes the drone code says not to fly over 120m or 400ft but What CAP states that limit without the weight being over 7kg? I'm more than happy with the 120m limit and abide by it at all times but I can see how it's confusing for some.
Also what happened to the role of the spotter it seems to have disappeared from the current code.
I'm in London fella. I only found the fault with the new update. The sensors don't work properly it don't seem to hold position. Even tho I have fly with Atti mode but now it goes mad and starts shooting towards any direction.Where do u live sparky786 and what faults u have found after new firmware?

Like I said downgrade your firmware.mine is sorted now. The only thing now is the map is playing up, gets stuck.might downgrade the dji go 4 appToo many bro..
Transmission signal lags/ lost,
Battery % stuck at some point and does not show that it is discharging,
Cant switch properly for 5.8G to 2.4G,
some time RC does not response in clicking pic (either tap in the mobile phone or hit the button in RC) or go into options or switching modes cam and video..
All of this is happening somehow.. and i am not sure if spark is okay or not...
Yes i updated 4.1.15 yesterday i will give it a try then downgrade firmware...Like I said downgrade your firmware.mine is sorted now. The only thing now is the map is playing up, gets stuck.might downgrade the dji go 4 app
