@robca Having read what you said I promptly replaced the old antenna prior to turning it back on. I am planning to try it out tomorow when I get the chance. @msinger thank you for the video however in the end it was not needed as it was the black wire (with the antenna by the battery) so i just...

Well then, I'd better hope that the working one provided the better range! I will keep you updated

I never have had any problems with my range, I frequently fly it up to 1000m away with no issue. The trick to that is to use litchi as for some reason you get much better range on it. (you get 5 bars instead of 3?) so i prefer to use that for long range stuff and you get extra features. with the...

okay so does that mean I will just have a reduced range but other than that nothing dramatic? (obviously all video is recorded to the SD card so i am only loosing video streaming range?

Okay thanks msinger. do you suggest self repair instead of dji?

what is the black cable for? why would it need two wifi antennas for the camera feed?

Hi all, In two months I am going on an expedition from Astana, Kazakhstan to the Aral Sea and back along the Silk road. This is happening over a period of several days. I have a phantom 3 standard and thought it would be a great way to get some interesting photos along the way. I will also be...
