I used to get The warnings all the time with DJI GO, in the end I switched to Litchi and forget about them.

I have the DBS antenna mod and MagicPower installed and flew out a mile with my P3S last week.

+1 for that advice. Flew mine last week in an area with a lot of tall trees and houses and got 2,333ft. Flew it today out in the country and got 5,118ft before I decided to turn around, it could have gone much further but I didnt want to push it.

To transfer the video & pictures you will need a SD card reader adaptor for the iPad, remove the card from the Phantom and stick it in the card reader, transfer the files, job done.

Just making myself a storage case for my r/c and iPad, didn't fancy cutting the hard case I keep the Phantom in.

Strongest you have had so far, probably true, strongest on the market, not by a mile.

Had the very same device holder on my r/c for about a week, its terrible. Just go with the Inspire 1 mount and drill the controller, best option out there. I use an iPad Mini 4 with it and it works great.

Upped my Standard from 24dBm to 27dBm and the video feed went crazy, glitching and freezing constantly whilst the quad was on the ground. Reverted back to 24dBm and it went back to normal. Is this a common problem when the quad is too close to the controller on the ground?

Bought a spare controller for my Phantom Standard, 'IF' I ever needed to use it for some reason, would I need to re-install the MagicPower mod or is it all stored bird-side

How windy was it? Was the drone in P-GPS mode or ATTI mode? You should have you flight log saved in the DJI app on your device, upload it here.

I got 2,333ft from a patch of waste ground near my house, its right beside an eletrical sub station and a few houses so I imagine if I get out in the country a but more I will be able to get 3000ft+ It RTH'd twice but I just cancelled it once the connection came back up (which only took seconds).

Cleanest way is installing the ARGTek mount and connecting the DBS wires to that. Zero drilling involved and 'almost' looks factory fitted.

Excellent.

Yeah, the standard really cheaped out with the wifi image transmission. I was getting choppy video at less than 100ft on some occasions. You will be more than happy with the DBS mod, it and the MagicPower hack are the two best things I have done to mine.

Its sort of hard to explain but I will try. The Standard in the UK gets 16dBs (decibles) of wifi power out of the box. The farther away the drone goes the higher the dBm (decibels below 1 milliwatt) number gets, with my remote and drone beside my computer I get -30dBm via a wifi analyzer...
