Like the drone’s weight, this will vary from drone to drone, and while a more expensive drone could fly between 3 and 4 miles, the drones tested here have an average range of about 650 feet (200 meters or 0.1 miles.) Also bear in mind that the wi-fi signal for your drone also has a limited range, which will be less than the range for the drone itself. For this reason, if your drone has the capability of recording images and video directly onto a micro SD card, you’ll get better results than if you record directly onto your Wi-Fi-connected cell phone.
