i find it hard to believe that it can be controlled from 1,200 ft away

I can't imagine that either but I've never tried it more than 30ft away. No issues with my experience out to 30' Good luck

I used the remote control successfully at a distance of 2.5 metres. I never tried it for any longer distance.

I've tried at a distance of 200m. Since the day I bought, i have used many times without problem of loss of signal at any time

I've never used it at that distance, and before I would've bought it for an application of that distance I would've called the company. I have 2 of them at a normal distance of around 15 - 20 feet.

I've been over 100 ft away and it works fine. The factory advertises 300 yards.

No you can't do that and even if you could the normal pole is about all you can hold at that distance. It's very long and can really track up far.

It's not hard at all, you do have to push and hold to get the signal to go off. As for distance, I was able to hear it from down my hall.

I've gotten it over 200+ feet away before I get nervous and turn it around. But I'm a coward.

You can set the distance that it will activate. You use a button & just turn it for closer or farther activation.

Control is good out to about 100ft may go further just have not tried it further than that.

according to the software, 400m altitude and about 2km from remote. i haven't exceeded 1km though. it's really hard to navigate it without line of sight. even if you maintained a line of sight, it's still scary to drive it without seeing it. it eventually looks like a dot at that point. far navigation probably requires an FPV system which is a headache to get right, install, get governmental permissions for the communication bandwidth/power and it will add weight to the phantom which effectively reduces the battery life and flight time

We have had it as far away as probably 80 feet but I don't know how far it will actually go

In most conditions, the remote control will operate the clock/timer from a distance of at least 100 feet.

If it's infrared I think the sunlight interferes with the signal. Maybe on a still cloudy day you could fly it.

if it connecting no farther maybe 200 feet might do it does not pick up very far at all even though claim long distance

The sound is not very loud, I don't think you would hear it from 25 ft. away.

Overall a good product but certainly will not work the distance advertised. I didn't do any exact experiments but 500 ft would be my estimate for reliable performance
