All right, the Mini Pro 4, now it's got the GPS return to home. So when you set the return to home, well, when you go to lift off, it sets it. And then if it loses signal, it'll automatically come back to the location where it drops off or where it took off. So you don't have to have a connection to your controller. If it loses connection, it'll come back because it's all GPS located. Now the distance will depend on the signal back to the controller and line of sight. If you've got a good line of sight between the controller and the drone, it could go three or four miles. Of course, legally, you're not supposed to have it out of sight. And if you're three or four miles away, you're not seeing that drone. But it'll go up three or four miles. My experience is I can usually go about a mile, mile and a half when I'm flying it around before the signal gets too weak because of things around me, trees and houses and the like. But I think it boasts up to like five miles or so. But you've got to have a direct line of sight. You've got to have a good enough signal between the GPS and the drone. They do sell items you can connect to your drone where it uses cell phone signal. And then you can have – you can get a lot further based with that. But just the drone itself without that special adapter and having it hooked up with a cell card, you're probably going to get about a mile, mile and a half unless you're up high. But if you have the direct line of sight with your drone, then you can go a little further. Hopefully that helps.
