    how far away can you actually see your uav ?

    Newbie on range extender

    jmo, but you should get all the distance you would ever need with the p3a, even in ce ! (not sure if icarus works with the p3a but could be worth looking into.)

    This is my camera on my New P-3 SE 4K why no place for a UV ?

    When installed , my gimbal hangs straight down and wont/cant do its start up dance. If i give it some help after start up the camera will hold its horizontal position tho.
