I'm using Phoenix (bought an older version used on Ebay and then updated free to the latest version) and I use the recently released DX6 transmitter (only $200 but w/ the latest features of a DX9). I tend to practice in agility mode since the easier modes get boring fast. I also fly a Blade 200...

I was getting the problem every single time before each flight and I'd just turn the wi-fi "off" on all mobile devices, reset the Phantom and the Repeater and it would typically come online on the second or third attempt. I noticed something today. I went to a remote park, turned off my...

I've never lost Tx control since installing the antenna below. http://fpvlr.com/shop/index.php?route=p ... duct_id=63 I do use a 2.4 & 5.8 booster, but even before adding the 5.8 booster, I wasn't losing Tx.

Agree.

My Wi-FI has been a little strange recently. I turn on my transmitter & repeater. Wait 15 secs. Turn on my Phantom. Wait 15 secs. Turn on my iPad Mini's WIFI and sometimes the Phantom Network is available and sometimes it's not. I fiddle with it for a minute if I don't see the Phantom Network at...

If that's all you see, period.... Basics that I would check include the following: Verify that the power plug is pushed in all the way in the back of the camera. Verify that the repeater (little box on the transmitter) is fully charged and giving you some lights when you turn it on. Verify...

You're not alone. I started having similar issues recently. No real rhyme or reason to it. Sometimes I can connect to the Phantom network. Sometimes I can't. I reset everything a few times and at some point, I get connected and it seems to stay happy for a while. But, if I get out of range, it...

I couldn't agree more. I have tested new antenna mods in the front driveway during (3) night flights this week, and I actually had a woman go door-to-door to determine who was casing the neighborhood. She knocked on my door to ask me about it a couple days ago, though I think she already knew "I...

Re: 5 days of Hard Flying.... I experianced all sorts of iss Great photos. :)

Exactly. You will need to change your limits in the Phantom assistant. I got out over 5000ft yesterday and had the warning pop up on my screen. Went in today and updated the horizontal to 15,000ft and the height to 5,000ft (not that the battery would last long enough to come down from 5k feet...

Great question and great advice. I'll start doing similar system checks.
