distance

Sorry in advance my disability is spelling, grammar, and punctuation, After reading a few vital posts and watching many video's from around the web and phantom Pilots posts. I have managed to set my self a new distance record with my P3S with full control and full video and it was my lack of...

So the Argtek has served one important function for my Phantom. That is... it has enabled me to install an Alfa APA-M25 5.8ghz 10db flat panel antenna on my remote. The original argtek blue proton range extender kit was plagued by poor quality 5.8ghz antennas. However it is still completley...

I'm a current P3 S owner and considering to upgrade to a P4. First I would like to know what is considered good range in a crowded city with apartment buildings, trees exct. So far I have done the following modifications Both 2.4ghz antenna mods with Amps and same on the 5.8ghz. I have Alpha...

So today my Argtek Blue Proton range extender arrived. I immediately installed it and took to the skies. It had just finished raining in Watch Hill Anderson township Cincinnati Ohio where I live. I was only able to get out to 2,500ft in this area with probably over 1000 wifi networks interfering...

Just bought my first DJI product. I know it's not a P4 however I am very happy with it. My only complaint is the range. I am getting a signal loss message at around 1100ft. Planning to buy a tri (2x 2.4ghz 8db and 1x 5.8ghz 10db) onmnidirectional antenna kit and install it on my controller. New...

One of the general safety measures is to see the AC by your own eyes. Do you always fly like that. According to many posts here this is hard to believe. It would be interesting to see what is the longest distance at which you still can see the bird. I can see it at 300-400m depends on the...

I've been flying my phantom 3 pro for about a year. I'm not getting anywhere near the distances of 5km, as stated in the specs. It is more like 1000 meters and I start getting a green screen and then no signal. Most of my flying has been on the coast of mexico. Where there in no electricity...

Hey flyers! I have a Phantom 3 Standard and i'm debating on which range extender to get. The two that I'm looking at are the ARGtek and teh 4Hawks Raptor for the Phantom 3 Standard. Have any of you used either one of these? I can't find a lot of reviews on the 4Hawks. Whats your thoughts on...

Hi all. Just got a phantom 3adv, and works great but with some range issues. Open terrain gets 6000-8000 feet, but near more condensed areas, only about 1500ft. I know that's normal but the interference issues have alot to do with traffic on channels 13-20. I heard about the 32 channel mod and I...

I've decided I'd like to buy a drone for recreational use and I had decided on the DJI Phantom 3 Standard. Then I noticed that the SE had been introduced with an extended range of approx 4km and 4k video - so I wanted that one. I'm a beginner but I want the best, most feature-packed drone...

My phantom 3 will fly around 500-700ft away before complete signal loss and returns home. The firmware is on the latest and no modifications to the controller or drone. Any help?

Im wondering if warmer temperature of the air can be the cause of my drone not being able to fly as far as it did earlier this year. I know warm air or mainly hot air is lighter and the drone would probably have to work harder to remain in flight. Any help with this would be appreciated...

After the new firmware on my p3s the drone is stuck it seems in beginner mode. Loged in to DJI , rebooted phone and app (3.1.4 dji go) .re installed go app. Nil fix. Tried updating Dji go to 3.1.10 and app crashes as soon as camera view comes up.cleared cache and data re installed 3.1.4 go app...

Soooooo, this kind of has been making me mad. The new firmware update states that if you are not connected to the app during flight, you will be limited to a certain amount of feet for flight distance. But if you are using an iPod touch, how are you supposed to be connected to wifi (so you can...

I've just checked my DJI and Litchi files, my P3P has flown 460 km and been in the air for 36 hours in just under a year of ownership, with no issues. Like flying from Kinsale to Belfast. I'm amazed how good these things are, no reliability issues, a few small cracks round the motor mounts...

I have a huge tree branch in the path of flight so dont make fun of my terrible range. Today the weather was good but i only had 15 satellites and as I was flying with no range extender I kept getting a low signal warning at 3000 feet and with the parabolic range extender i hit 4000 feet. A few...

Range test Phantom 4 PRO, in Sardinia (Italy). 3700m 2.4Ghz.

So I want to fly my Phantom 3 Standard with the litchi app. Now I have used waypoints before and all so I know what I am doing. Tomorrow we should have around 3-8 mph wind and I want to try a kinda long waypoint. Waypoint info: Distance- 15,642ft in total. (There and back) Altitude- 100ft...

I have been flying my phantom 3 professional for about a month now. Every time I fly I try to go further but it will tell me "weak transmission signal" and the camera feed will cut out. This occurs after only about a few blocks away so less than 500 feet. I am at about 17-18 satellites whenever...

So many of you have all different kinds of mods on the remote for distance. I wanted to start a thread asking what different people have and how much the paid and what the testing results were. This way we can see with all different budgets and requirements what mod would be best for...
