[QUOTE="Praf, post: 8191, member: 1234"] After latest firmware (01.00.0500) update & latest DJI Go 4 App update (4.1.5), I noticed that range seems to be improved. I decided to do a test from a multistory parking (to get a better VLOS) using OTG vs WIFI. To my surprise, I got best results (1.2 miles / 2KM range & a perfect signal score of 100) on 5.8GHz WIFI as compared to similar flights I performed using OTG cable and switching manually to 2.4 GHz channel. I was using my old iPhone 5S in airplane mode for all these flights (only wifi enabled for 1st & 3rd flight). I am thinking that leaving frequency selection decision to Sparky for best results and ditching the OTG cable as well hereon. See the results here: 1. [URL='http://app.airdata.com/main?share=jvWFbI&page_id=GENERAL']Flight on 5.8 GHz WIFI: 2KM & Signal Score of 100[/URL] 2. [URL='http://app.airdata.com/main?share=KRdrep&page_id=GENERAL']Flight using OTG with WIFI off: 1.6 KM, Signal Score 42.9[/URL] 3. [URL='http://app.airdata.com/main?share=ZmMzcA&page_id=GENERAL']Flight with 2.4 GHz channel selected manually: 1.6 Km & Signal score 27.6[/URL] [/QUOTE]
