DJI Phantom 3-LONG RANGE TEST-10.5km with ease

17,000 feet there and back with my PH3 Advanced over the Del Valle reservoir in Livermore, California. When i turned around it showed 5.2km (3.2 miles) distance away from me with FULL signal on the controller. I could have gone further, but wanted to play it safe on the battery to make sure I still come back..:-)
when I came back, I still had 33% on the battery left....

Beautiful footage. Crystal clear. Awesome range. Ive had the p3A for a couple of years now and I love it. One day I'll get the mavic but can't afford it yet. Keep it up bro

I used to get those range until I update the latest firmware, now it's 1580 meters short of the previous. Several flight test from my backyard that backs into farmland.

Nice smooth video. I am thinking about getting into this space in my area for home inspection and real estate photography. Was looking at the latest PH3 Advanced. Does this model have recovery ping if it goes down out of LOS? Kind of like find my iPhone?

Hi. Did you bought Phantom in USA or Europe? What country is it on the video? Great range! Akis.

Very cool.Iwonder if being in that valley helps concentrate and reflect the radio waves.

Amazing video and range! I love how smooth you shot it due to 1080p 60fps and mad skills with the transmitter and camera control! Great work and thanks for sharing. Also how much battery did you have upon returning?

Did you get this range fresh out of the box or did you add modifications?

How can do that? awesome

With latest firmware/dji app they seem to have boosted stock range to 7km, but video-link is still only 3km at low res, how do you see where you're flying? Just got lucky? I'm scared to lose video signal.

Great video! unbelievable range !!! which P3 do you have? It is the Phantom 3 Pro? Where did your test take place? Did you fly 10.5km away from you (and radio control) or 10.5km was the total distance travelled, 5,25km going out and 5,25 coming back? I was really impressed.
