    DIY Antenna Modification - RANGE TEST (14,180 FEET) with DJI Phantom 3 Standard

    I think dbs antenna was right at $100 if I remember correctly. Look on YouTube for dbs installation. There are a couple different ways to do it. It's super easy to do. These flights are under optimal conditions. I only get about half the distance in a city setting. All my best flights are in a...

    DIY Antenna Modification - RANGE TEST (14,180 FEET) with DJI Phantom 3 Standard

    I recently did a 15,500 ft flight with my phantom 3 standard. I have the itelite dbs antenna though. I assume your asking if this still works with newer firmware due to concern about the firmware changing distance that is achievable.

    How far can a standard fly and return home?

    Yes dumb for sure.. I'm glad battery started out warmer than outside air. Like I said I've done some long distance flights but mostly I'm in eyesight. Every long one I do I've been inching farther and farther.. But I'm thinking that is the limit, or close enough for me anyway. Thanks for the...

    How far can a standard fly and return home?

    I've tried numerous times to get a link. But all I see is a .txt link of the log and when I try to open it it's gibberish. Also the directions arent super clear, do you go thru the PC into the phone to look for log (which is what I assume) ?

    Considering new Mavic

    Guess I should have said this is for hobby I'll be honest, I really don't think I'll get rid of my phantom 3s. Even after all this time it still amazes me with its technology and ability.

    Considering new Mavic

    If I buy one, (who am I kidding) when I buy one does it get a separate registration for FAA number? Or would same number be good for multiple drones ? Knowing the efficiency of our government I'm sure I already know the answer.. Lol

    How far can a standard fly and return home?

    I'm not really sure about the drone antenna. I'm at the end of my battery at what I flew. I could see the amps being used if you wanted stronger signal in a city type setting, but for distance they wouldn't help me any as I had pretty good signal even out to max distance although you really have...

    How far can a standard fly and return home?

    I probably won't try to go this far again. It is nice to know what the platform is capable of though.
