Hi all. I own a Mavic 3 Pro for outdoor cinematography and ariel work. I recently bought a Mini 3 Pro for indoor and close work. On my first flight I was dismayed to find it would only fly about 500m out before I received “Out of range” warning. The website states 12km.
Any advice would be most welcome
sound to me the range has been set to 500m.
Don’t think there is anything eels
Hi and welcome to Drone Hub 
Is it because you are currently switched into sports mode?
No. It was in C mode. I changed it to Sports mode the other day to fly it in the house. Sports mode is supposed to shut off the anti collision sensors
Well Dunn in finding it out. Have you been out side yet & tried it ??.
This happened to me when the Drone was not signed in to my DJI account.
Did you get to the bottom of this? It happened to me last night on my first flight.
Tx.
The only way round it was to buy a parabolic mirror antenna set up. Since then Ive had no further problems.
Look for “Parabolic Antenna Booster for DJI Mini 3 / Mini 3 Pro RC Drone Accessories” on eBay. Sorry. Wouldn’t let me post the link.
Good luck
David
I’ve been watching this thread, as I have a Mini 3 as well…
However, I’ve not had any issues with flight distance, between me/controller and the Drone.
When I purchased it, I purchased the care package once it arrived, registered the drone and care package, completed all updates including the batteries firmware.
Been out flying many times in many locations, without any issues.
I make sure I face the drone and keep the controller pointing at the drone as best I can, but as mentioned. No issues.
When I go out next, I’m going to try and see how far it will go without any errors.
Setup, max height = 120m, max range = 1200, All error states set to RTH
I’ll report back in a day or two…
Stay Safe, Fly Happy!
