Thanks RoyVa. That's what I would have thought but apparently the new version modules with the vent holes are susceptible to failure as well. I'm assuming heat related. Before it went out completely, I had intermittent issues after the module warmed up from using it on a hot day, and the issue...

So my WiFi module apparently crapped out in my Phantom 2 v3 because as so many others, I lost video even though I still had telemetry. I had a spare module (v3 version with the holes in the casing like my original). I put it in momentarily and it worked. Was wondering if guys are applying the...

Thanks. Yep. All coax connections have been tightened down with a wrench. Most connectors have been discomnected, then reconnected. Haven't really cleaned them real well though.

Also, when I'm recording, does the video recording quality have any affect on the ability for the wifi to stay connected?

So right off the bat, I only had a range of about 800 feet with my new Phantom Vision 2+ V3.0 on the wifi side. I've never had any issues with controller signal though. After adding the ITElite antenna mod, I more than doubled the distance on the wifi side to around 2,000 feet. I swapped out...

Kaehn. Great app!! I've been using it now for a month or so. Now playing with the POI. Great stuff and well worth the money!! Just to be clear on your previous post concerning what happens when you get out of 2.4 ghz wifi range. You state that the phantom "should" enter into RTH after being...

I second that. That would be great!

I've had the top popped off the Phantom. I have the "holey" version for wifi module inside the bird.

What bird-side antenna works well with the ItElite antenna mod on the pilot side?

I did that right off the start when I got the Phantom. Besides, that only affects the remote control side of the system, not the 2.4 GHZ video/telemetry side. I have yet to trigger RTH from being out of range of the 5.8 GHZ controller side so I'm assuming that side of the system is fine.

I'm running the Litchi app for Android which I like considerably over the original DJI Vision app. No range restrictions and I like the superimposed GS/FPV screens. I'm also using the built-in FPV Boost Power option of the app with 15dB boost which helps. As to the heat sink mod for the wifi...

So I had range issues on the 2.4GHZ side right from the get-go after buying my new Phantom Vision 2+ V3. I was only getting around 800 feet before losing the video link and telemetry. I upgraded the pilot end with the ItElite antenna mod and was able to more than double it to around 2,000 feet...

So I posted in a previous thread a problem I was having with limited range on the 2.4 ghz side of my new Phantom 2 Vision +. At first I thought the problem was resolved after disconnecting and reconnecting some ribbon cables going to the gimball. And although it did noticeably give me more...

BTW Garrock, pretty neat!

Update: So I disconnected and reconnected two of the ribbon cable connectors going into the gimball, one of which was the 4 wire connector. Took it out and now I've got well over 3 times the range I once had! WTH!? What would the camera/gimball connections have anything to do with the wifi signal?
