If you are using a controller, your tablet connects to the controller, the controller to the Spark. What you use (tablet, smartphone) has no effect on range.I'm new to drone flying and since I got a Spark with controller combo not long ago, I was wondering what the maximum range would be and if you are using an Ipad mini 5 do you need cellular to achieve this maximum range?
Thanks for the video.This video is my longest run..
Note that Litchi will not extend your flight..
At such distance, it will always lose connection while turning around your drone. For safe return, press and hold the RTH button until remote starts beeping..
Btw, I'm on the far side of the lake seen in the end of video..
At this time in my experience, I would be more than happy with a 1 mile range. Maybe later I'll go for the moon. LOLI've gone up to 9000 ft. with the parabolic antenna. You can get more with 4hawks or alientech. Honestly, for that kind if investment, I'd put that into a better platform like mav pro or pro 2. I've got 3 miles on the mav pro in the city with the 4hawks xr. At that point, it becomes all about your battery life.
What is Litchi?
Pretty interesting that you have managed to reach your personal best distance while using Litchi because most people (including myself) are of the opinion that we get a stronger signal strength with Go4 as compared to Litchi. Your thoughts?This video is my longest run..

That would be very strange. The maximum range of the Spark is determined by the transmitting power of the Spark and the controller, both of which are only dependant on the FCC/EC setting. I don't see anything that is app-controlled that could affect the range.Pretty interesting that you have managed to reach your personal best distance while using Litchi because most people (including myself) are of the opinion that we get a stronger signal strength with Go4 as compared to Litchi.

It is indeed strange and I my thinking was exactly the same as yours before I used it myself. But now after using it, I find that the experience is quite similar to what people have mentioned in this thread.That would be very strange.
