Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
can you post a link to info on how to upgrade the antenna on the phantom vision +?

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
He asked about the Vision Plus, it is FAR easier to mod the Plus as the antennas and radio are inside the body. Just unplug the patch antennas and attach pinwheels, but with the booster app there is almost no point in messing with the model!

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
I wad talking about the rc antennas on the phantom. The app only works on the fpv.

I see, as PVFlyer posted, a simple 11 or 14db patch for the TX will take you out to 3km on the control side. Still no need to modify the model.

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
It would be nice if you can design a modular base X3 foundation (without antenna) hooking to Phantom RC transmitter's handrail or somewhere. We can attach/insert 1 or 2 half-dome as we like to the foundation. We may further attach 5.8G helical, Yagi or leave it empty on our choice. This is a common way of designing computer software & hardware, and I guess this approach is also applicable on your antenna "system". With such flexible X3 foundation, people might buy various types of antenna from you for different purpose flight, like short range filming (<1km), mid-range exploring (1-3km) or long range / record breaking (>3km), etc. You can then sell a lot more antennas to our Vision/Vision+ community. I would probably buy 2 full sets for mid-range and long range.
P2V/Vision+ (and most of other copters) do not bank left/right or tilt forward/backward too much as RC plans. I guess P2V/Vision+ bank/tilt max 30-degree and probably only 1-2 dB signal loss on 5.8G control link, unless flying very high altitude. Thus IMHO, I don't see too much benefit on modding 5.8G CP antenna for control link, but adding extra weight on the aircraft for sure.
13dBi Yagi 5.8 sounds very impressive. Do you have a picture for it? What's the size and weight?FPVLR said:

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
Exactly. a platform with a modular approach to adding antennas is what I'm looking for. I do not even want it limited to mounting on the transmitter, as I would like to be able to attach various comfigurations to a tracking base and have long thin leads which hook to the transmitter.

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
So I have a 3 day weekend coming up where I am going to hopefully do a lot of flying of my PV2+. I am waiting for the Android release of the FPV booster but if it is not released I might give in and go buy a Apple iDevice to use instead. Yes, I want to use this software that bad! :lol: I wonder if there is any ETA for the Android version? Like days, weeks, or months?

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
Are you serious "want to use this software that bad! :lol:"? The FAQ in the first post, I indicated to target June timeframe ETA for Android version. We maybe able to start Android beta in the coming weekend. My dev buddy is putting the codes together for beta testing shortly.vjdave said:

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
The 17 dBi Yagi is bulky and even longer than 12 turns helical, which looks like holding a Magnum Revolver. What's the size/length of the 13 dBi Yagi? My 14 dBi patch seems a lot slimmer comparing to 17 dBi Yagi.FPVLR said:
Android V+ Booster Beta Testing
We are about to start Android version V+ Booster beta testing on the coming weekend/Sunday. The app will only support Android 4.0 or above.
For those willing to be beta testers of the V+ Booster, you may prepare/require the followings:
1. Own an Android device running 4.0 or above;
2. Willing to take risk;
3. Comfortable to fly 1-2KM range by FPV, which will be definitely way out of sight;
4. Likely to outfly 5.8G control link (around 1200m) and trigger RTH. You need to check your RC transmitter in FCC mode;
5. Willing to share your range test results regardless good or bad, including (1) Vision app Preview Quality - avoid using 640x480 30fps due to DJI VISION app issue, (2) rural/sub-urban/urban area, (3) before/after boosted FPV range and altitude;
6. Please PM the serial number of your Android device(s) running 4.0 or above.

how do you get the serial number from a nexus 7 tablet? i went to "About" but dont see a serial number.
