    Upgraded to H4-3D, Software Still Says H3-3D

    I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

    Upgraded to H4-3D, Software Still Says H3-3D

    I'm running the latest Assistant software (3.8). The H4 seems to work fine in an indoor testing, after installing it (just powering on the P2, not actually flying it). It's responding to the tilt wheel on the RC and seems nice and stable when I move the copter around. I could just not look a...

    Upgraded to H4-3D, Software Still Says H3-3D

    Hi Everyone - so over the summer I had a pretty epic crash on my P2 with GoPro. In addition to jacking the shell pretty good, it also bent the H3-3D in a few places. After taking it to the drone hospital and getting the shell replaced and the gimbal fixed (as a newbie, I wasn't comfortable...

    AVL58 Only Good For About 20 Yards - Thoughts?

    Ok, so stupid question that I didn't think to ask earlier - how can you tell if the transmitter is burned out? Does it just get bricked and useless altogether? Is there anything that you see that shows evidence of burnout on the TX itself (something blown on the board, etc)? Aside from...

    AVL58 Only Good For About 20 Yards - Thoughts?

    So I went ahead and got the ImmersionRC transmitter, which showed up yesterday. In-home, it seems to be working just fine (although I did have to google how to change the band on my Black Pearl monitor). Unfortunately, it's way too windy here today to try for an outside test. But I do have one...

    AVL58 Only Good For About 20 Yards - Thoughts?

    I did end up getting one of those based on your previous recommendation. Unfortunately, it didn't help my reception issue (although it is much tidier and easier to store now).

    AVL58 Only Good For About 20 Yards - Thoughts?

    Hi Jason, I do have the WiFi on the GoPro turned off. It sounds like I'm using a system very similar to yours - the FPV hub with a Black Pearl diversity monitor. A clover-leaf TX antenna on the craft, as well as a clover-leaf RX antenna on one side and one of the stock RX antennas on the other...

    AVL58 Only Good For About 20 Yards - Thoughts?

    So it looks like I'm to the point of throwing in the towel on this. I sent it back to the company I bought it from, who told me that they tested it and it worked perfectly, only to have it go back to barely working on its return to me. Whether it's burned out or faulty, it's become pretty clear...

    AVL58 Only Good For About 20 Yards - Thoughts?

    I'm working with the retailer right now to test the one that they sold with the kit to figure out what the problem is. There is a problem, the question is, was it my fault, their fault, or just a wonky transmitter?

    AVL58 Only Good For About 20 Yards - Thoughts?

    Thanks for your input! I have the RX cloverleaf antenna that came with the AVL58 on the Black Pearl on one RX and one of the stick antennas that came with the monitor on the other RX. Is the right angle socket that you have on the AVL58 just an aftermarket piece that you attached to have it...

    Thanks, I'll check the video out. Re-attached the pix as thumbnails...sorry!

    Thanks for the quick reply, I appreciate it! I'm using the "mushroom antennas" that many seem to use. Here are some pix (the wire going inside is for the anti-interference board to the H3-3D):

    AVL58 Only Good For About 20 Yards - Thoughts?

    Hi folks! First, yes, I am a newbie to FPV. I've had my P2 for a couple months now and am quite confident in flight, so I decided to add FPV. I did a lot of research, and I understand that there are a million individual opinions on what's "best" and two million combinations of gear. Being new...
