    More powerfull repeater?

    GREAT video Adam! Awesome job! You know.... with that set up you could face the antennas in opposite direction for full 360 degree coverage if you ever wanted to... This would be a great idea for a modified camera tripod! Again THANKS for taking the time to do this Adam! Rob

    You are correct! you need ONE Antenna and ONE of the pigtails. The Antenna in the DJI extender is actually two antennas to help make up for its puny size. The mod most are doing only uses one of those. I suspect you can leave the other tiny antenna hooked up with no harm as it should choose the...

    Phantom 2 Vision Destroyed on First Flight

    Not really, this could have been anything. An ESC gave up the ghost, a fuseable link failed - there are a whole host of things that can cause it to fall out of the sky.

    You are correct sir - that will only help Command and Control, not the video.

    THAT is FANTASTIC! Well Done sir! I have a quick question, how are you displaying your telemetry data combined with your picture like in the shot above?

    Ginster - that is absolutely right, if you are going high above home location, and holding the TX in a normal fly position, your signal is going more out than up. you brought up some EXCELLENT points... Uncle Festers mod seems to favor a more moderate altitude with longer range.

    More powerfull repeater?

    Yeah but that is 30 degree horizon reference view, that is a fairly wide swath of sky - hardly precision when you have a directional on the view finder. Uncle Festers range is ASTOUNDING to me. I can practice the aim if need be for that kind of return

    From the Picture, I am pretty sure he is using this one; http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-ANT241 ... L-ANT2414A and MAYBE this for the cable http://www.amazon.com/30cm-U-fl-IPEX-RP ... il+to+U.FL

    Uncle Fester, do you also fly with the phone in place on the cradle? THANKS Lylet - that makes sense about the omni directional....

    Is compass calibration needed each flight?

    Do it EVERY time. Why risk it? It takes less than a minute to safeguard your $1200.00 investment.

    What are your thoughts on something like this? Would this greatly reduce the range? http://www.cnaweb.com/7-dbi-omni-direct ... MgodagcALQ Maybe use 2, one for each port on the repeater?
