    The Official "My P4 Range Is Too Short" Thread - Don't Start New Range Threads!

    Does anyone know if there are any boosters that can handle the 2.4 / 5.8 Ghz switching on the P4P?.. my guess is that u would need two boosters. Can someone please confirm whether this is the case.

    I have both small and large ITElite antennas running on boosters that I bought from maxx uav, I tried both antennas on my P4 and neither of them gets the distance that can get on my stock P4P+. My stock Mavic even gets more range. My fliying is in a built up area. In my optinion all...

    If you just purchased a brand new Phantom 2 Vision+ V3 READ!

    Re: If you just purchased a brand new Phantom 2 Vision+ V3 R You are spot on. In the stock phantom v3 it does not say "v2.0" or "v2.1" on the sticker above the serial number. Howevery on the spare part from DJI it does say the version number on the sticker.

    If you just purchased a brand new Phantom 2 Vision+ V3 READ!

    Re: If you just purchased a brand new Phantom 2 Vision+ V3 R This is not true I have a v3 and there is no "v2" printed on the ESCs sticker, however on the ESCs that I bought as spare parts it does say "v2.0" on the sticker. Both the original and spare say "v2" on the motherboad

    Restricted Area Height Limiter not working

    I suspect that there is a way of disabling the height limiter for restricted areas and somehow i stumbled upon it in my rebuild. Either that or this feature is linked to the serial number of the motherboard and does not apply to spare parts. Either way im pretty happy )))

    Restricted Area Height Limiter not working

    I just did another test and the return to home feature works and the phantom lands. So somehow changing the motherboad and installing firmware from scatch managed to remove all height restrictions. Messages such as you are approaching a restricted area still work it's just that I can fly at...

    Prop wash (vortex ring state) then crash into sydney harbour

    Prop wash (vortex ring state) then crash into sydney harbour

    Re: Prop wash (vortex ring state) then crash into sydney har No, there were no prop guards on it. One thing I learned from this is that you should not trust carbon fiber props, they really dont give you much benefit anyway. I bought another phantom 2 vision + today. An expensive lesson learned.

    Prop wash (vortex ring state) then crash into sydney harbour

    Re: Prop wash (vortex ring state) then crash into sydney har Yeah the "phantom connection broken" alert appeared when it hit the water, i literally watched it tumble out of the sky on my phone. I used the CF props a few times before and they seemed ok, they are self tightening so im not sure...

    Prop wash (vortex ring state) then crash into sydney harbour

    Re: Prop wash (vortex ring state) then crash into sydney har I initially thought this also but after reading about prop wash I though that this may have been the cause. Why do you think that it was a loose blade rather than prop wash? I guess I will never use chinese carbon fiber blades...
