Conquer range extender by titan drones works with p4p - review and feedback

[GadgetGuy]

Not to worry he's all back together ready for some action.

Sounds promising! Now to find the channel sweet spot, and maybe add the 32 channel hack to take advantage of it.

I, too, thought I would need a range extender wih the P4P, just like with the P4 and P3P. However, once I tried the "Auto 5.8Ghz" HD setting, I have realized that it is unnecessary! In heavily urban environments, at 100' AGL, my control and video range reaches well over 4 miles away (consistent with P4P specs), with NO mods. Also, flying with OA turned on, limiting your speed to 30mph, extends battery life to 24 minutes at that speed to 10% remaining. My stock flights all average over 50,000 feet. Before investing in any RC mod, first try the "Auto 5.8GHz" setting. You'll be happy you did! The hassle and weight of an external antenna are unnecessary on the P4P.

Where are you flying to get that kind of range. I live in an urban setting with tall trees (NC). I can't even get a mile.

Hey Billy F I feel your pain friend. I too live in NC so I know about all the tall trees! We just have to work harder than everyone else.

I live on a hilltop and so I have clear, unobstructed LOS over the surrounding area, and can fly as low as 50' AGL over 4 miles away. However, it is heavily urban. If you could find a spot to fly from above the trees, you would likely have the same results.

Looks like channel 13 is gonna be the best spot for the Conquer. They're claiming 19dbi at 2.40

Good job! That's even within the standard channel band, not even requiring the 32 Channel Hack, which I have been told may have been disabled in a recent update.

Wow Man U guys are full getting into this, I never even considered these kinds of facts... thanks, this is helpful information

 

[Sprtbkryder]

Well with what he told me the operating range for the Conquer would be from channel 7-21 with 13 being the optimum channel. Hey man get your ham ticket and you'll think like we do when it comes to frequency and antennas.

 

[Sprtbkryder]

Heck I've been using the thing completely out of it's operating range at channel 30 and it still worked darn good!

Bro I told you man, this Conquer is the real deal man there is no mucking around which is why I'm surprised it's not as well known as it should be

 

[Sprtbkryder]

Well this thread could very well change all that ya know?

 

[On_Bail_Cuz]

I'm sure it already has and That was the idea behind my post, as personally I love the thing and am pretty obsessed with it... I love my little toys and when I get a little gadget I like I obsess over it as you can see lol

 

[Sprtbkryder]

I am about the same way myself.

But man you have opened it up, investigated channels etc you gone deeper then I would in term of investigating the ins and outs... which is great because I'm actually learning a few little things from you guys... so good stuff man and I'm glad your loving it... keep posting any little things you find out that may help myself and the others... I'm no longer the experienced one with it anymore, time to sit back and take notes [emoji404][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

 

[Sprtbkryder]

Thanks for the kind words and you know I'll do all I can do make it work for us the best that it can. That's all a part of the hobby.

Touché... like I said before I was giving out the information now it's time to take a back seat and let the guys who know the ins and outs tweak this thing to its max performance

We are just trying to compete with the new DJI version---the Tracktenna, announced earlier this evening at NAB in a DJI press conference! It's that black "mushroomy looking" thing on the tripod that stays pointed at the aircraft at all times!

Improved Flight and Data Communication

DJI Tracktenna is a high-gain antenna that ushers in a new era of remote wireless communication by improving signal reliability over long distances and resisting interference. Its built-in sensors and two-axis gimbal automatically point the antenna to the aircraft at all times, bolstering the connection even while the operator is in motion or on a vehicle.

When installed on the new Cendence controller in optimal conditions, DJI Tracktenna can boost signal transmission to over 6.2 miles (10 km), giving professionals increased responsiveness and confidence when performing complex flights like search and rescue missions, power line inspections, pipeline inspections, live HD broadcasting, filmmaking and more. Pilots should always understand and follow any applicable laws and regulations regarding flight distance.

DJI Tracktenna supports transmission speeds of up to 10 Mbps within 1.24 miles (2 km) for data-intensive applications. It supports both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequency bands, giving it greater signal stability. Pricing and availability for DJI Tracktenna will be announced at a later date.

I bet that things gonna cost a fortune.

 

[On_Bail_Cuz]

It's also rubbish for people that have CE transmission or anyone else, pretty useful only for people with FCC transmission as with it I wouldn't get as far as I can with my Conquer...

Like SPRTBKRYDER said it will cost a fortune and I think it only works with their new controller

I ordered the QMA Male to RPSMA Adapter (Set of 2) last night so that I can use a set of whip antennas on the Conquer mount and lol I thought I was buying a couple chunks of gold!! These things are expensive! $34 with shipping for the set. But I needed them so what ya gonna do.......
