FPVLR - Not too impressed - Penetration?

[FredzMaxxUAV]

yes we do have tiny amplifiers modules that weigh like 15 grams and have 2W of rated power, if you want to increase video to have it just as strong as the rc singnal through trees and objects it's the only way to go.... we install a 5v regulator to power the mini amp and then a 2.4ghz dipole, and your video signal becomes 20 times stronger

I usually lose RC and video at the same time...
Can you provide a link to the amplifiers and regulator you sell?

If you have a Phantom 3 Advanced or Pro this is the antenna kit you need, everything is included... ITELITE DBS for Phantom 3 Pro/Advanced and Inspire 1 Controllers (ITE-DBS02)

The ITElite kit even without boosters is a great antenna mod. I did an 8 mile round trip last week with it. What a fun flight. Full signal the whole trip.

Brilliant, and you didn't have go too high either!

Quite, remind me not to bother buying that product. Seems out of character though....Do you think he might have had his account hijacked?

I just don't understand that reaction -- to old and outdated for today's culture wars--- enuf said. They both have great products and are competitors. The consumers will make the ultimate decisions. I will leave it at that.

I have both the dbs and fpvlr and the dbs out Flys the fpvlr everytime by at least 30-40%. And it's a third the price with a better mounting system . Overall the dbs is a more thought out system and design.

Also, ITElite company is a company that manufactures Antennas for the Broadcast industry. They understand antennas and have a well packaged durable product.

Both antennas perform equally well so many people are saying.......... out in the wide open!

My question is which antenna design offers more penetration through obstructions, mainly trees? Circular or linear?

Knowing this fact will benefit the majority of us who aren't driving out to the middle of nowhere to pull off these long distance runs.

600mhz offers the best... but you don't even want to see the size of that beastly antenna...

WE have a 6.3 mile + 6.3 mile with FPVLR the itelite can kiss our $$$! $$$$ that $$$$!

Thanks to the Staff for taking this one down-- thumbs up

 

[Bigdrone1]

our V.2 kit outflies the DBS 30% every time

Not for me! The dbs kills the fpvlr antenna. No doubt about it. That was my results .

 

[Bigdrone1]

If ours can go 8.5 miles away and still have almost perfect quality, I wonder how the detractors can say they can fly 30% further, with what batteries? Please , don't believe that stupidity!

You said it yourself results may vary .

 

[Bigdrone1]

Wow dbs Mods is doing something right 10+ miles with a matrice which uses the exact same light bridge. Holy crap that's impressive . I haven't looked at the flytrex records in a couple months.

With respect to Tony's FPVLR V2 kit that I own. Range is a mute point. I'm getting range that meets and probably exceeds the battery endurance. So most of these posts are pointless. If you can manage the same range with respect to battery endurance on the lower quality system of dbs [emoji6] why argue the point?

Yes, I agree. Both seem to work better than a battery can support. What seems more relevant to compare is the ergonomics and cost. The DBS seems easier to custom fit inside a backpack without removing the antenna from the controller. I may try it out after I'm out of warranty.

We get it, we get it, we get it, yours is the best ever, better than anything else, beats them all always, whenever, Good, better, Best! Your the king, out fly's them all, Salute, to the best antenna maker ever, no one will ever be better than you, you win, the rest loose, they all fall short of you, you are great. They are horrible, you are awesome. Praise be to FPVLR... 1st class, master class, best in class....

 

[Bigdrone1]

Most guys who are interested in range also run a couple extra lipos on the side. But yes if you don't have a battery modification then it doesn't matter which antenna you got they both are more than capable of out flying a stock battery .

I cant understand why he needs to sit here & argue a point, his kits should speak for themselves. Sitting here & arguing & cursing on a customers thread who is having a bad experience with his product shows a lack of character, not to mention shows that this product needs to be argued in order to get across to customers how good it is, if its so good why praise it, why not let the customers speak for themselves? Not saying i have not heard good things, but i have heard nearly all bad experiences with FPVLR products, mostly that people get the same range as the stock antennas. Some cant even get the same as before, which leaves the product in question.

From first hand experience, it really is that good.
