[QUOTE="Lastrexking, post: 32978, member: 175"] Dunno if you have an iOS device, but you’ll get much better range if you have. I think the problem is that android sticks to 2.4ghz, which seems to be poorer.. I don’t think you can switch to 5.8 on android, but you can on iOS, hence greater distance - maybe someone familiar with android will correct me. Edit to add - Flying any quad directly above you (regardless of antenna direction) will yield poor results. Also, I’m in rural Yorkshire and if I select 2.4ghz it’s still very busy with lots of interference. Switch to 5.8, and it’s empty and I got a tad over 300 meters, with room for more - but I couldn’t see it and don’t like being out of vlos as it’s against the advice, and it worries me if anything goes wrong.
