Is that 800 feet vertically or horizontally? I've had 'weak signal' only about 100 feet above my head in semi urban locations, with my PS3 Standard and believe that radio interference and antenna positionimg might contribute to that.Man I have a p3s also and after I upgraded firmware my bird will only go 800 ft then will kick in Return to home ! Anyway I have done so much to correct the problem and no luck anyway just wondered if possibly it's so
Thing to do with firmware on yours ! I'm not very good with this yet! But I wanted to try to help if I could !!
All I can say is I've had signal problems also. Lost signal at only 150-400 feet directly above may head (this may be an antenna positioning problem, combined with urban radio interference.)Well it's actually both if I point the antenna at the drone vertically it get signal sometimes but the only reason that I know something is wrong is when I or before I go on the update I could fly around 1600 feet or more no problems now it will go so far say Signal lost and initiate a return to home when I use the windsurfer antenna thing it will go a little farther i've tried even the antenna in the remote make sure it was secure on the motherboard!! Oh and sorry for all the run on sentences and punctuation I'm using a phone with talk to text
Yes, very difficult problem. I'm still using firmware from last year, and scared to update the Phantom.Yea I have tested that idea also and I've flown in lots of different places. The only reason I know something is wrong is because the way it was before. In the beginning it would lose or say weak image transmission signal about 1600 ft and the rc signal would be great ! Then I done the update And ever since it does what it does now!! I just wish I knew what to do! I have just been hoping someone would figure it out or have a similar problem!!
