Re: Anybody with P2V+ getting more than ~1,100 feet distance It is off the beaten path in an semi-urban area. I'm about 1 mile from activity. I have tried other areas, as well. Seems weird. I will give it another shot today. If others are getting 1600-2500 feet here, then something is...

Re: Anybody with P2V+ getting more than ~1,100 feet distance Side of transceiver antenna always facing the bird.

Re: Anybody with P2V+ getting more than ~1,100 feet distance The latter. Radio control, not FPV. Video is fine the whole time.

On my 3rd P2V+... first two resulted in very similar distance compared to my P2V... about 1,000 feet or so. Called DJI and they said that is odd and I should send it to them for rush testing. I did. They ended up losing my Phantom and sending me a new one, which they (allegedly) tested...

Normal for it to hover within a ~4-6 foot radius.

Re: looking at the P2V RX U.fl connection Hi Will, Thanks for the feedback. Just to confirm... with the kit that Simon referred to (and recorded the video for) you would still recommend... but instead of the hard-wired U.fl connectors (because of the complexity of opening up and dealing...

Hi Simon-- thanks for the link. Really helped clarify things for me. This looks great. Installation seems manageable, too. 1,000 feet is right about my limit. Great to hear that you were able to effectively double it. Just to confirm, which antenna kit does your video include? Thanks!

Would you mind posting instructions so we can get an idea of what is required to install the antennas? Need to determine if this is over my head. Thanks!

Thought he was referring to something else besides distance. Gotcha. Antenna supporting comms at 11km.. that's solid.

Do you anticipate having the videos uploaded prior to the sale date of March 12th?

I searched, but got a message saying the search terms were too common. I couldn't find stickies, either. There is another thread where somebody said CF props are great, if balanced. How do you balance props? If there is a thread that already explains this, please post it here. Or any...

Possibly the worst customer service experience I have. They rave about this part of their business on DJI's website... could not be more opposite. My CS experience was via email. I was concise and specific. Their response was very underwhelming and not related to anything I said. 2...

Re: New antennas for the Phantom 2, external +1

I remember seeing on one of the DJI videos that they recommend fully discharging your batteries every ~10-15 (somewhere around there) charges. I tried leaving the phantom on after a 15 minute flight, and this battery is tough to get below 8% (I think that is what DJI calls for). Any tips...
