I would try setting the power to 27dbm and fly again. Look what changed. If not satisfied change channels and try again. You need to test a little and see what works best for you.
And also, try another place.
I think that your range is not that poor. You still have an 4k what relies on wifi...
Are there any reasons why not to power the amp from the same battery as the remote?
Technically it is easy to power the amp from the same battery.
Another question, all the 5,8ghz amps seem to be much bigger in size than 2,4ghz.
Does somebody know a small 5,8ghz amp?
Yes this is normal. Video signal and controller signal are different signals and their range is also different!
Video signal is 2,4GHZ and controller signal is 5,8GHZ. They do not have to be same range.
What is the problem you had?
Where is the issue? If you lose controller signal than RTH will kick in. It is not a issue, it is a feature!
Please read the manual for further information.
After doing the PapaTita's MagicPower mod I was really happy with the video 2,4GHZ feed quality and range. Right now I have always good video quality even in urban areas. But as you can think now my controller range, what is 5,8GHZ, is to short and keeps loosing because I can see further ;)
And...
Your linked amp looks good, but I actually would love to build it into the remote. Found something like this: 2.4G 2W Radio Signal Booster & Antenna & Feeder For DJI Phantom Multirotor TX Extend Range
This looks smaller and I think I could but it into the controller. It would be perfect if I...
Yes I have a windsurfer. But this has not helped much.
What about a 2w booster? Can you recommend any? link?
Are there any tutorials how to install the 2w booster?
Just did my first test with the mod. Boosted it to 27db(hope this is safe) and I'm impressed!
The video quality and also the range was so much better/longer! Lost connection with the drone, but the video was still rock solid!
Now, how to mod the 5,8ghz signal... ;)
Thanks PapaTita
The 'Strong interference detected' notification is normal and has not much to do with the MagicPower mod. I have a stock(no mods) P3S and get the notification every second flight. It isn't harmful to your drone, it just let's you know that your range can be quit shorter.
On firmware 1.7.9 the...
