The ones with huge ranges cost a lot of money over £1,000 and for professional and commercial use, generally the professionally ones are aimed at Licensed operators who can, as long as they have permission to do so from the Civil Aviation Authority, fly above the legal distances for standard recreational users.
The thing to be aware of, recreational drone flying, you're not suppose to fly them over large crowds of people or be in close proximity to buildings. I fly mine in areas that are allowed, like large parks and playing fields.
