Does wifi signal booster really do anything?

[ShoRotten]

I am planning to get it for my p3s but read a lot of rumors that it barely adds up signal. Mine goes away for 400 meters no problem, but alltitude 120 it already loses me. Will wifi signal booster work?

Check that you have the remote controller antenna positioned properly.

120m up is the max the p3 standard does according to dji website

 

[msinger]

120m up is the max

500m is the max altitude the DJI GO app will allow.

Yes exactly. So if following the rules in the video about antennas, how much more space can wifi signal booster give me?
Thx

Per DJI's specs, you can reach 1,000m (500m CE) under the most ideal conditions. If you're in a wide open area with absolutely no interference, you might even be able to reach beyond that.

So in the same park, it might not give me better results, am i correct?

P.s. btw on that link it does say that maximum altitude is 120m...so its true? (

Yep. That's the default maximum altitude. You must change it in the DJI GO app while your remote controller is connected to your Phantom.

I see. I thought it wasnt adjustable.

Sorry for repearig but, the wifi booster wont give me better results in the same park, as i understand.?

I think you will find that 120m is the max altitude of the standard even if you change it in the app it will only go 120m You can only change it in the app because of the advance and pro model.

IYou can only change it in the app because of the advance and pro model.

The Pro/Advanced specs also show the same software limitation. They aren't limited to 120m either though.

 

[Harrissment]

Oh ok, that's good to know I have a standard going under the tree for me this year but I read the dji site that it would max go up 120m, thank you for clearing this up for me.

 

[Harrissment]

I have just had another look and while both do say software limit 120m, only he standard does also say max 120m on the other specs of the phantom, so that is still making me think this 120m is set on the standard aswell.

 

[Timritchieblue]

I've flown over 120m with mine, been up about 475ft so far.

 

[Harrissment]

Are you in the uk Tim?

 

[Timritchieblue]

No, Ima Texas. I have since installed the DBS mod, but haven't tested yet

I am in California and I had my P3S up to 850 feet just today.
