    I've just fitted a DBS antenna...maybe wrong? 4k

    Ah good to know thanks. In a separate note should I have put some glue from my hot glue gun to the DBS connectors (the ones I removed the silicone from). I just closed the controller and screwed it all back :/

    Yes I have read about the importance of aim when using the DBS. I've often wondered if there is an immediate fall off of signal if your aim is off? Will the phantom, controller and the app reconnect when the signal is back? Fingers crossed I will gain some distance to make the whole thing...

    Haven't been able to test it today thanks to strong winds. I'll get back to you on that.

    Is my bird broke? P3 standard

    Interference is the main cause of poor range, video feed and other issues. If you can grab some time to go to a location with minimal or no interference you should get better results. Sent from my Hudl 2 using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Ah that's great news. I couldn't remember if the battery lights are always solid. I don't think I ever noticed that it flashes. You've helped me avoid a sleepless night as I was getting stressed out and worried I had messed it up. Thank you. (Let's hope it was worth the time, effort, stress...

    I've just fitted a DBS antenna...maybe wrong? 4k

    Hi everyone. I've just spent the past few hours fitting a DBS antenna to my P3 4K. When I turned everything on I had a signal and seemed like it was working well with my Phantom. Although I couldn't test it in flight the WiFi connected as normal, the gimbal moved sideways and up an down, all...

    Cables

    Nice! This is exactly what I'm looking for. I really don't want to have to drill my controller. Would you mind me asking what are the exact wires you use? I mean what are their model number (if that's the right term)? RG178? Length? etc I don't want to buy longer cables for my as yet...

    DBS vs Hardshell case

    Before I order a DBS antenna for my P3 I was wondering if anyone could tell me how it all fits in the Dji hard shell backpack I have when it's attached to the remote? Can it be unattached easily? Will I need to modify my case? Thanks in advance! :)

    Specific rig for 4k Range?

    Good grief, I'm only reaching 250m stock even in the middle of nowhere! Such a shame. Other than the range I love it. It's super addictive! I think I'll go for the DBS and see how i get on. If it doesn't work I'll sell it on I guess. One thing I would like to know is how does the DBS work? Is...

    Specific rig for 4k Range?

    Hi everyone, I'm really really not impressed with the range i'm getting on my P3 4K. Admittedly i can get a good 600+ feet distance and maybe similar height but even in the middle of nowhere it's not good enough. I was eyeing up the DBS mod and i was wondering if the panel is only available to...
