    Disconnected antenna wire

    It was the one from the round antenna. It may have also been Attached loosely to the connector,and when I pulled the two shells apart it could have pulledoff of the post. It was stuck to the braided cable.

    Phantom 3 Standard with poor range.

    My p3s is only 6 months old. Out of the box I was able to get to an altitude of 350 feet, didn't try to go higher and 1200 feet distance in open country. I found a disconnected antenna wire while I was installing an ARGtek signal booster. I'm sure it affected her range.

    Disconnected antenna wire

    So the weather in South Dakota has finally warned up enough to fly my p3s. I have been reading where people get several thousand yards with their p3s. After a dozen flights, I've only been able to get out about 400 yards before the return to home was initiated. I was puzzled as I was at a lake...

    Battery

    I was able to pick up a battery at a Target store today. There is only one store in our area, which is 50 miles away. I know the ad has been around for a month or better, and I didn't think I had a chance to get one for $49.97. I thought what the heck, what do I have to lose. They finally...

    DJI Care

    What are your thoughts on dji care. It's $114 for a p3s. Do you think it's worth the price. I read a lot about people crashing their drones and having to send it into be repaired. I haven't activated my drone yet, but I read where you have a short time frame buy dji care once you activate it. I...

    In western South Dakota we got 8 inches of snow last night it was 22 below, currently tonight it is 22 below Fahrenheit. Tomorrow it should warm up in the teens which will feel like a wave.

    Type of batteries

    I've seen it on a few listings on eBay. From my understanding, the battery for the phantom 3 standard, advanced and pro are all the same. Even though some of the listings may say a particular battery is for the advanced or pro. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    Who flys in the winter?

    I am also new to this site. I have a phantom 3 standard under the Christmas tree. My wife says I can't have it until Christmas day. Normally it would be driving me crazy not to be able to take it out and fly it. I also live in South Dakota and has been terribly cold the past week and no end in...
