I have the DJI type wifi reflecting panels that fit over the existing antennas but I haven't tried any long flight trials until I'm more happy with the overall operation of the Zino. I got them at Banggood …

You only get 250 meters because you are connecting to the smartphone via Wi-Fi.
You have to connect by cable, the wifi disconnect it from the cell phone.

How do you guys get such long ranges? I've done two flights thus far with my Zino, and I get connection losses already at 40m altitude! I just ascended upwards from me, the video stream starts stuttering and eventually I get connection lost and the drone switches to RTH.

Note that I've never bound my phone's WiFi to Zino, so that shouldn't be an issue. I'm in a scarcely populated area so not that many Wi-Fi networks around (and certainly not running at 5.8GHz). During 15 mins of total flight time I've lost connection at least 4 times. The last flight I did with the Phone Wi-Fi turned off completely.

First flight, 500 meters before losing connections, 50 meters high.

Hello me_075d7ydEYr ,

would you mind to try to fly the Zino to the further distance then rise to a certain altitude ?does it still have disconnection issue?
