Hi there everyone.
I have had my phantom 2 for about a month now with no problems. I decided last week that I wanted to get a little bit more range out of my phantom so I bought an antenna with a higher dpi and installed it.
I watched a few different youtube videos about how to do it and when I did it, It went smoothly as I thought it could go.
At first I didn't make a bigger hole at the top for the antenna to go through as I wanted to test it first before cutting the controller. I didn't turn on the controller without an antenna attached. Everything seemed right. Then I went and tried it out and now I can't fly the phantom 2 more that 30-50 meters away (in any direction) from me before the fail safe kicks in and the phantom flies back to home.
I put the original antenna back on and it was the same. It would only fly for about 40-50 meters away. I tried other antennas I had lying around and the results were the same.
I changed the batteries as well but still nothing changed. The controller is paired.
Before I installed the new antenna I had opened the Phantom up but that was over a week ago so the problem must be with the controller but what it is I don't know.
Everything looks and acts the same as before but just now the phantom only flies to about 50 meters away before the fail safe kicks in.
I have looked online but don't really see much about my problem and thought I would ask you guys on here if you have an ideas.
any ideas?
Thanks
