DIY Antenna Booster for Phantom 3

Update:
I'll be Setting up a new printer to help fill orders come This Sat.
Cheers

I'm interested, and mostly because your setup appears to be on point for best performance. It matches the curving detail of the antenna's and is made keeping the distance of the antenna at 1/2 inch from reflector surface.

Using this mod with a app that has a mod referred to as "wifi wand" is the best options overall. See image below for a reference:

It's called Pilot Wand – Helps to maintain pilot’s line-of-sight (LOS) and device aiming toward Phantom with different color based on RF signal strength (strong > weak, green > yellow > orange > red).

PVF...

Can we get more information on the "Pilot Wand" app. Is this just available for the P2 V+ series ?

Thanks in advance.

The app is FPV Camera for P3 under beta testing now http://www.phantompilots.com/thread...testing-–-possibly-resolve-fpv-lagging.44620/

You have them on backwards.

You have them on backwards.

Lol

I got nearly 3 miles from my P3 this week. Using these boosters, plus a clean line of sight helps tremendously!

Your booster setup seems reversing forward to backward. The reflectors are smaller than the template though I'm unsure the curve and focal point.

Hi Guys!!!
I would like to show you my antenna reflector booster. Work's great.
I flew 4,500m and still I had full range. I decided to come back because I wasn't sure about battery but when I came I still had 31%. Next I will try to fly farther to 5000m.
Instead aluminum tape I used to can of beer in my opinion is stiffer and I connected the both antennas together.
I know that not looks well but it's my 1 prototype. Next should be better...
I am satisfied

I'm fro mEurope -CE...
Just made 5km flight without drops (had dropouts after 3km before), COOL

The can of beer booster looks nice. Did you cut the can into 2 pieces or just fold it over?

 

[radus77]

I used only one can of beer cut in half and after that little bit more cut both sides to hold both antennas straight vertically. The can of beer is curve profiled and has smooth surface = better reflection.

I like the antenna boster made in David Wettlaufer. After correction look's professional. Maybe I buy one
