    Phantom 3 Standard range mod , let's do it together...

    OMG I miss all this tinkering around SO much! Things on the RL employment front took a dive recently so the P3S had to go (sob) as I couldnt justify having it sitting there as a high value item while times are tough. It's made the journey to Denmark and I'm looking forward to seeing it's...

    Phantom 3 Standard range mod , let's do it together...

    After tiring of losing my video as I walk away from my P3S after turning it on I have found my ideal solution! This baby has twin 65ft aerial masts, 2x generators and enough kit for a good 100w on 5.8GHz and 1Kw on 2.4!!! Comes with a burst transmission device that fires BEFORE turning on the...

    (After 1.6.8 update) Phantom 3S Weak RC signal problem SOLVED!!!

    Very interesting reply they sent to you at least from my point of view...while you were doing all your good work on the range issue I began to suspect that there had been a modification of the range for CE models with the 1.6.8 fw. At first I wondered if the 1.5.7 wasn't actually limiting the CE...

    Sorry to hear that! mine was absolutely fine after downgrade, the only thing was it stopped cutting out at stupidly short distances.... surely though weren't you suffering with poor range when you got your P3S? I thought that was what led to your brilliant tinkering??

    (After 1.6.8 update) Phantom 3S Weak RC signal problem SOLVED!!!

    I totally agree re the changing number of visible sats but I am definitely seeing a higher number of indicated satellites 'locked' in the DJI GO app since downgrading. My previous flights show a mess of poor gps warnings even at a decent altitude yet this evening I was able to fly home and land...

    Do it WITHOUT holding the link button and it should succeed.

    (After 1.6.8 update) Phantom 3S Weak RC signal problem SOLVED!!!

    Well.....good question! The drone gets 1.5.7 obviously but I haven't checked what happens to the remote.... The older FW seems to make everything on the drone a bit more sensitive perhaps? I noticed 2-3 more sattelites showing during my test flight! 1.6.8 had me seeing 6-9 most of the time but...

    If it is a .bin file then that is what you should use. Only unzip it if it is a .zip or .tar or some other compressed format

    (After 1.6.8 update) Phantom 3S Weak RC signal problem SOLVED!!!

    I'm sure it has worked for others but I didnt hold the link button down at all (think I forgot that bit) and I was really surprised how quickly it went! My phone didnt show any fw update activity for a few mins then suddenly a red bar popped up showing 'Downgrade....50%' The number ticked...

    (After 1.6.8 update) Phantom 3S Weak RC signal problem SOLVED!!!

    I had been pondering on doing this for a while but the OP convinced me and just now I went ahead. Used the method detailed but I did NOT hold the link button while turning on; five mins later it was done and back on 1.5.7 Terrible wind here today but I couldnt resist.....took off and went...
