I never did thank you for that tip.
It was too easy. I had 5 & 9dbi antenna and put them on a re_700 and I fly aroundwherever I want to go with no issues.
I would switch to a 5.8ghz controller. I get over half a mile with the controller and loose video at a little over 3200'.
The frequency of wifi on the p2v video is 2.4ghz, same as wifi.
With the GoPro you are probably fighting over the radio frequency
I use a factory p2v with a modified re700...
If people were just a little more responsible there wouldn't be any trouble with the FAA or any other agencies.
Common sense and a little forethought would solve almost everything.
If you just use common sense and don't staty up over 400' for your full length of flight you're fine.
Here in the mountains I have a jet that does a pass 1-2 times a week at treetop level .( pilot visible in cabin) and I know that is less than 400'
Just don't be dumb and go out 1000' feet up...
Thanks for the tips guys
The 2 omni antennas that I have installed work great.
I tried a flight today while there was little cloud cover & wind compared to the cloudy winter months that I get.
I made it out to 3800' with full high resolution pics
I before had been out flying with alot of...
So I have been loosing fpv at the 2200-2800' range.
I have the 2- 5dbi omni directional antennas and get that result .(UFL to rp-sma jacks.
Same with the default panel on the re700.
How can I max the fpv range to meet or exceed the phantom control?
So would you recommend a stage 2 mod (pilot side?)
I currently have a re700 with 2 external jacks. Using 5dbi omni antennas and the pvt581 remote unmodified. I can fly out to 22-2800' usually. Then get a message of phantom connection broken.
So I am not sure if further modification to the...
I agree 100%. That is the only reason the government thinks they need to put control on drones.
It's not the drone 90% of the time in videos. It's a pilot/operater doing something stupid.
What can I do to achieve better video results? My video is currently cutting out at about 1800-2200 feet (days vary)
I have a re700 modified with 2- 5dbi antennas.
The video ends up really choppy on some days and others completely clear at 1080p 30fps.
I have never had a fail safe kick in on...
There is no selection for the p2v (not the +).
I don't know if it does make a difference on the bird of not but would like to make sure and get the right parts " components"
The antenna is a 5 dbi wifi antenna. (Not sure on the actual name)
I only have 1 currently on the 500 and 1 jack reserved on the 700.
I have not modified the phantom itself because I was getting full signal when my connection was breaking. I also still had a line of sight. It has never...
I tested my modified range extenders yesterday running just using the amp and the DC jack included.
I was very disappointed, I saw shortened range.
I originally got out to 2500'+ before getting any signal connection errors.
Now I have dropped back to about 1800' while using the amp.(re700...
