Can somebody please help me out? I was really hoping to get more distance out of my LightBridge. Im not sure what the problem is.
I took my new rig out for a distance test today. I could only get out to 600 meters before control signal hit 0 (in real time mode). The picture seemed ok until about 500 meters. I took out my stock P2 with 5.8 FPV and flew it out to 3000 meters with no problem (could have gone further) so it wasn't interference. I was expecting more along the lines of 1700 meters with the LB. Is this the type of range I can expect or is this a possible hardware problem? What could I be doing wrong?
Lightbridge troubleshooting says to run signal diagnostic but im unclear on the instructions: "Run signal diagnostics in the DJI LIGHTBRIDGE App to determine the cause. Remove one of the antennas, place ground system two meters away from air system and launch DJI LIGHTBRIDGE App. Enter “Signal Diagnostic” page to check the signal strength. Green bars indicates signal strength is normal, and readings should falls in the range of -20 to 40. If not, adjust ground system antennas orientation. Repeat step a,b,c. If problem persists, replace antenna.”
When they say remove one antenna are they referring to the ground station or the air station?
All firmware is up to date.
Equipment:
Phantom 2 (v2 with upgraded transmitter/motors)
H3-3d
Lightbridge
GoPro 4
Any help is very appreciated.
Thank you.
