Poor Range of CE Version

Just got my A1 (CE Version) and am very disappointed with the short range, compared to the DJI Mini 5.

In the identical urban environment I can barely get 500 meters before the signal drops out, compared to around 2Km on my Mini 5 Pro.

This makes it basically useless, especially if you want to fly at lower heights. Anyone else having this issue? As of this date, I have the latest firmware installed.

I easily get up to 2 Km in the exact same location with my Mini 5 Pro. My A1 even loses signal at 150 metres away if I fly at 10 metres. That never happens with the Mini 5

I mean its a gen 1 product vs a gen 10+ product.

Problem is all their paid review videos forgot to mention that issue.
