Geert said:Hi,
I know you are a long distance freak :lol:
I saw other long distance flights from you before, just awesome.
Just to be clear, I did not questioning your distance , just feeling curious what happened.
Everything clear now.
Geert./.
you da man!! Thanks! This is the one I currently own:714Aberdeen said:

I run in a rural area with lots of trees and hills. In order to achieve just 2 miles I have to raise the bird to almost 3000 feet to keep line of sight. This makes it difficult to have enough battery power to get back and land since the decent speed is fairly slow. All of the incredible distance videos that I have seen are in locations where line of sight is not an issue even at 300-1000 feet. LOS is just as important as having great antennas and extra power. Just having the antennas and power will not guarantee any distance records. Someday I hope to have access to an area where LOS isn't something I have to worry about. Maybe when we all have access to communications satellites, like the military....

srandall25 said:Just wanted your opinion since you're obviously the 'King' of long distance phantom flights!
Background:
I'm using a patch panel antenna similar to yours with the Sunhans amp for the 5.8. For the 2.4, i'm using FPVLR's stage 2 (pinwheel and 9 dBi half sphere helix). I'm also using the booster app ($8.99 one). Today I was able to only achieve FPV up to 3,000 ft and then it started to delay and lose signal. A couple folks in another thread mentioned it was due to an antenna mismatch (sphere helix on range extender vs. dipole on phantom)... Another member mentioned that he achieves 10000 ft with the stock wifi extender only using the booster app. I'm really surprised that the stock extender with booster app would perform better than an upgraded extender with Stage 2 and booster app combined...
Questions:
1) Do you believe my issue to be an antenna mismatch?
2) If so, do you believe the booster app could be excellerating the effects of the antenna mismatch?
3) Would you recommend I upgrade the phantom side antennas with the pinwheels to achieve a better match?
Given a member's experience in achieving 10,000 ft with a stock extender and booster app, I'm inclined to revert back to stock following this experience... vs. upgrading the phantom... your thoughts?

Hi FPVRL
Thank you for your feedback
I didnt promise any users that they will get big distances as I did with my phantom
All users in phantompilots.com put there experiments so that we can learn from others
And I didn't mention anything about any other item or product
We are here to give each other experience
And you didn't read my other feedback and comment I also warned and advised the new users that have no experience to not fly very long distances I also put down steps to people who would like to use it for help
You should read next time before putting your comment
viewtopic.php?f=27&t=21886&start=10
And you said that someone got 6000 meters
There was no evidence that showed that he got that distance with that antenna
We didn't see in the video the distance or the altitude
How did he say that he got 6000 meters?
He also used phantom vision not plus and at that time the dji app only show max 1000 meters can you tell me how he calculated 6000 meters?
Did he used flytrex or record his screen or take screenshot!!??
But the video that I posted it was clear and everything you need for proof is shown from the altitude and distance also if you want I can send you the hole video not edited if you want
It was 16 minutes for 10000 meters for the full flight
And I will wait for your respond to my questions so that you give me evidence that the user got 6000 M FPV as he said
And you if you give me evidence I will get that antenna
Thank you
Hmmmm
6km ? I couldn't find any data to prove this.
So, it can be 2km or 3km or .......
No flytrex , :?:
It is easy to say that you have done 6km when there is nothing to prove it.
714Aberdeen, for me you are still number 1 with the Horizon antennas
Congrats with the 5km.
Geert./.
