Keep in mind that this only applies to the FCC regulations. In Europe (CE regulations) the claimed range is 10 km. The mini 3 pro has a CE regulations claimed range of 8 km, but after 2.5 km I pretty much loose connection. If I turn the drone to face my direction, I might be able to fly it a bit further, but at this point it is so hard to control it, that there is no point. Btw, according to regulations, you can not fly it without line of sight. So, in practice the "legal" range is a few hundrend meters. I have yet to see an observer with binoculars. :)

You're not allowed to use binoculars.

Hmm, 2.5km? I've flown the original DJI Mavic Pro to about 4-5km multiple times and never had any real issue with the video feed. I'd be surprised if this much newer gen is worse.

  Which country was that? The drone detects the country through GPS upon startup and limits its transmission power according to the local laws. In the US, the drone can use way higher transmission power (~ 4-20 times more, depending on the drone) .

    I've done it in the US and Brazil and the Carribbean.

      US and Brazil follow the FCC rules. I would guess most of the Carribbean would follow FCC as well.

If I claim to see the drone even if it's very far away, can anyone dispute that?

  Hand me the controls and tell me if I'm steering it left, right, up, or down. If you can, congrats! You can see it. If not...

    Oh damn, when I took my eye off the drone I lost it!

I had the original mini with at most 800m range in CE regulations in the middle of nowhere. Pretty dissappointing. I lost it to the sea anyways.
