Loosing signal even in 30~50m distance

[akajak]

I only flew my drone putside twice after purchasing it as a second hand, but it seems like the range of the radio controller is less than I expected.

I flew it in Singapore near Marina South Pier, but the warning sign shows up after reaching 30~50m in distance. Even with rhe OTG cable.

Apporximate alt was less than 60m. Open field, a bit cloudy day.

Could it be the drone problem? Or controller? Or external interference?

Any one having same problem in Singapore?

It's all about EC mode. You need FCC mode for long range

Make sure you are not in beginner mode and you are logged onto the DJI GO 4 with internet access.

Take your phone cable and get a adapter to go straight to the remote then it works fine the wifi it not any good had same problem till I did that.

That sounds like it's not been registered or connected to a verified dji account . Look at the limitations they impose if you don't register

Did spark disconnect, or cannot fly beyond 50m?

I successfully changed the mode from EC to FCC (Wifi channer now shows 11channels for 2.4Ghz. I haven't tried outside since it rains heavy here, but thank you for the tip.
Most people outside the US are having same problem like this. I will test the distance range later and see. Thanks

No, it didn't completely disconnect, but the error message in red showed up then initiated the return home, but I was still able to fly it ignoring the RTH function.

Please update when you test

You might try a parabolic antenna?
Parabolic Antenna Extender For Spark?? Any Good?

I switched CE mode to FCC, and did the first flight test, and it was amazing.
Felt like I was flying a totally different drone!

Average range of the CE mode was about 50m~100m at maximum, but after switching it to FCC mode, the range went up to 1Km!!
I didn't fly it more than 1.5Km to take the footage but I am pretty sure it can go up to 2Km or more.

Know your drone and its functions before trying to beat records... just an advice

Are you wearing a blutooth watch or anything else BT?
