If it makes you feel any better, I was on the same page as you..
Alas, I must admit I did kind of chuckle when I saw the communication start to derail, however.. :twisted:

can you post a link for your suggested: 5.8G directional patch antenna to boost the txPVFlyer said:

14dBi 35-degree beam width http://www.amazon.com/Docooler-Antenna- ... B00JIKTGJO
I use both of these WITHOUT 5.8G amplifier. IMHO, they work better than LHCP/RHCP helical on stock Vision/Vision+ aircraft without LHCP/RHCP antenna mod on the aircraft.neoneo said:

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
PVFlyer, could you post a picture of your controller so we can see how and where you mount the panel antenna you mentioned above.
Also, could someone tell me which direction the range extender that's mounted above the controller should be aimed for best results.
Thanks

You may refer to my previous post of 5.8G patch antenna mount viewtopic.php?f=27&t=13496&start=240. I get 10,000ft+ control range with this 14dBi patch (without 5.8G amplifier) and P2V transmitter. I still keep my brand new P2V+ transmitter in the box. :lol:Zycor said:
Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
do you recommend these over fpvlr's products. if so what do you recommend i use for the wifi extender. i've reached 5800+ feet and only use fpv. not controlPVFlyer said:
Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
I prefer to keep my Vision+ aircraft as stock to avoid adding any weight on it. Stock Vision/Vision+ aircraft 5.8G control link antennas (dual grey cables sticking on landing skid) are vertical polarized. Any LHCP or RHCP 5.8G antenna on RC transmitter matching with vertical polarized antenna on the aircraft would incur 3dB loss (50% power loss). Thus I use 5.8G linear/vertical polarized patch panel.
I have different setup for different range/purpose flight. I use stock repeater (with booster app) for <1km range. For longer range, I use my homebrew LHCP helical with Rocket M2 AP/repeater sitting on a tripod. I don't use any 2.4G/5.8G amplifier in order to stay in legal EIRP.
I personally do not own any FPVLR antenna so far though I referred a few friends buying 2.4G LHCP from them. I like the small form factor of 2.4G half-dome, and their antennas are top quality built. I'm willing to buy their X3 product but replacing 5.8G helical to vertical polarized yagi or similar if available.neoneo said:

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
Hello, PVFlyer.
First, congratulations on achieving what seems to be the best $9 I've ever spent on this hobby by a WIDE margin. I had a chance to try the app for the first time today, and it truly does what it claims to do and does it well. I and I'm sure many others hope that you continue to enjoy sales, and that DJI doesn't try to interfere.
What I'd like to ask, and I assume this is all possible given the nature of the methods that you must have used, to do more with the wifi. Specifically, to decode the (what I believe is unencrypted) telemetry data, including lat/long, range, alt, heading, and broadcast it via bluetooth so that other ground-based devices can query it for things like SD logging, GPS tracking and antenna tracking. All of this and more would be possible without flying ANY additional equipment.
For example, Flytrex would be rendered immediately obsolete, since even a simple Arduino could log the data right there at the operator. You could see it realtime in google maps with no need to fly it. Lose your phantom? no problem, you've got the last known good coordinates right there. Of course the booster app itself could log the data, and provide this type of info, but it would be much much more powerful if the data were made available by the booster app for other devices to query.
Just a thought, but the applications beyond range extension are enormous once that wifi data is exposed.

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
Retrieving GPS & telemetry data is a bit tricky. We built a prototype on P2V around 3 months ago and setup a proxy in Rocket M2 AP to replace stock repeater, then log and decode GPS data into a thumb drive into XML file. The XML file can be loaded into Google Earth showing 3D flight path. This is doable theoretically, but we just don't have time to drill down into details. There are so many items in my wish list, and hope we can finish them one-by-one.
Glad to know you like the app. Can you post a short review to App Store and share your experience? I really hope ALL V+Booster users can do the same to help my developer buddy.varmint said:

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
Hello,
So I have been using the app for a few days and works great but I just had a weird occurrence where my screen said "Network time out" I was flying around 2000 feet out over water and about 200' high & lost all FPV just instantly. I have never seen this happen without using the APP. Luckily RTH worked and it finally came back with like 8% battery left ... Just wondering what could have caused this?

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
Sounds weird. Which app (V+Booster or VISION) did you get "Network time out" message? If it's from VISION app, what version are you using? What Preview Quality did you use? Did you see something odd before lost FPV, such as video glitch?midwestjeff said:
Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
Kudos PVFlyer on all the work you've done on this app!
I just have a quick question before I purchase it.
I'm sorry if you have already answered this question but I don't see an answer to it in the notes for the app.
In order to achieve the great distances this app provides I presume I first need to set the greater limits in the firmware via the PT2 application - correct?
If I need to articulate the question better please let me know.
thanks

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
I suggest you to read the FAQ in the OP to learn more.
The longest range achieved by a beta tester in the OP summary is "1. tizzl10: 7,037ft / 2,145m – 640@15fps (5.8G control signal dropped & triggered RTH)" in rural area. You may set 2-3km radius in Phantom Assistance software. However, your FPV range may vary mainly depending on 2.4G RF noise/interference, Preview Quality and 5.8G control range.Jordan McC said:

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
Yes, we have found a simple way to set higher resolution of preview quality, but it would not get through Apple's approval for sure, maybe work for Android. We have been exploring a way more complicated approach. Stay tuned!mr_3_0_5 said:
Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
how did you activated RTH ? you only lost FPV ? backed at 8% battery left, means that you were distance of 2000 ft away with less than 30% battery capacity over water :roll:
