Yeah it was totally badass! I wish I wasn't flying with my phone or I would've took a picture. I can't explain to you how close and how slow that big semi was backing up right in front of my signal. I expected a complete loss. And I didn't even realize till I just sent that screenshot that it was 7000 feet out,it felt like the semi was taking foreverHoly ****!!!! Thats badass

Bet you could contact seller & offer a buy it now for 20 bucks.
Either way this is the cheapest I've seen them. They have a 90° on theirs, I would contact seller and ask if that's removable, unless that's the way it works for you, you could always bring your pigtail right out the front of the remote and use that 90°
Thats how ya do it Stav! I started flyin one year ago w/ p2v+ & i remember very clearly getting 4000' w/ a couple mods thinking that its so **** far out there and it was[emoji41] keep it going if you get a kick outa that feeling.
These bats are expensive but theyre expendable. When they start acting up cause you run em down to 5% time to toss em.
I was flying with my iPhone 5, so it's iOS I think it's version 1.5.7 but for some reason that don't sound right . I'll check next time I'm plugged in. but that app always has the radar map right, even on my android.Hey db what dji go version you on?...how did you get the map on the left!?! Lol
You'll have to excuse me if I don't remember the question. But to add to the topic, I crashed my advanced the other night because sell one was really bad so after 25% it was trying to autoland and I was still a mile away, I charge the battery all the way back up after he had been down to 3% check the balances and now everything's fine so that particular battery just needed refreshed like you're saying I use that battery this morning for that 6.7 mile flight and fluid down to 3%. So I guess what I'm saying is use them when they're working and if you can't fix them by refreshing them/recharging them then toss themI did the 8% discharge at the 10th flight and this was it.I never let it go under 27-30% and the cells are all equal.Is there a possibility to see the health rising up again?

Which flight you talking about D?db did you make it all the way back from 7 miles in? You using the same battery mod?
I took a look and you're a geniusI didn't get a chance to look at this until now. Big problem with this: It's NOT an RHCP like he says!
On my PB ( personal best) flight, which was the p3Standard, 7.6 miles, I was using 2000 mah maxamp 14.8 bats which are small and super light and can get bout 30 min. on the P3Sdb did you make it all the way back from 7 miles in? You using the same battery mod?
Sorry D, I think I must've worded it improperly, what I was trying to explain was that the flight path that I've been flying the last couple days has NOT been my favorite one!It's just been the one that the wind allows me. I can't wait to test both of these controller configurations out on the same flight path that I got my record flight with, but it seems all the winds are coming out of the East, my best direction for signal is west or southwest in my neighborhood. That flight path for those controllers this morning seems to be very interrupted with a couple big towers I fly towards and a water tower that I fly within 100 feet of, I flew a P3P that same path this morning and even though I was able to get past it, around those same areas I was having trouble with the standard,the signal was getting iffy with the light bridge system.I guess I got confused, I thought you said you went 7 miles in, in that post that you had the pictures of the 2 controllers you were testing.

And I don't think I ever posted, but for the record on those two controllers this morning
The 15 turn 5.8 / (2)half helix 2.4
18600ft
The 15 turn 5.8 / 2.4 itelite panel
13800ft
What readings did you get? Do you have the cables and lipo checker w/ so you can check the individual Cell voltages after the flight?Hey DB, when I get far enough out to where I start to loose signal, if I adjust my height I can get back up to 4 bars on the 5.8. Do you watch the signal and adjust to where you get it the strongest?
But then I seem to have to keep doing this every few hundred feet or so. I did have a stretch at the very end where, I got another thousand feet before I had to head back. I never loose signal on the 2.4, but I am down to 2 bars by the end of the flight, and the video starts to cut out/ choppy.
I had about 23 minutes out of my Midwest Horizon V3 mod, are those externals even being used then? Or is the readings just off?
