    Best Range Extender for Phantom 3 STANDARD??

    HI all, I'm looking to upgrade the standard antenna and distance on the Phantom 3 Standard. I've looked into the ARGTek mod, but I have heard some talk about people not getting that much further. I live in residential Chicago, and my current furthest distance is about 1,900 feet. I need an...

    Wow what is up with these prices

    It looks to me as if DJI really wants to dump their stock, they've achieved market saturation (everyone who wants a phantom has one, for the most part) so they put the V2 on the market and matched prices. Especially since their new announcement is around the corner and they probably have the...

    P3S what distances are you getting?

    How on earth do you get so far? The farthest I've gotten is 1600 ft in my residential area near Chicago. Not too many powerlines here but still get horrible range with the stock. The fact that you got 7k feet with stock in one go just makes me want to go out to rural areas and test my range...

    P3 Firmware PHANTOM 3 STANDARD FIRMWARE

    Okay, so I recently bought my new Phantom 3 Standard on May 22. I started it up, did everything properly, and was expecting a long FIRMWARE update. There was nothing. I started the aircraft for flight, and it says "latest firmware" on the start screen. I had no update, while almost everybody...
