Careful with HDR! It can make your photos look a little unreal (unless that's what you were going for). I'd love to see this shot without it..

I hope so. I really want to fly far, and am terrified that my Phantom is defective :(

Nice! That's what I want to be able to do. Thanks for your advice, I will try that tomorrow out of the no-fly zone!

Makes a lot of sense. I do notice that even at 200m distance my lightbridge has some lag...

Yeah, it really sucks! Especially since it's completely legal here in VA. My antennas are parallel, and I keep them as if they're giving the finger to my bird.

Haha yes, I have to. I did see them, I think I got it right. If I'm flying away from me and up, the antennas are positioned like the remote is giving the Phantom the finger?

Hey thank you for the reply! Once it charges up I will be sure to try that out. Do you think I should also try a direct line of sight trial? With this one I had to go up and over trees (thought I still had LOS), perhaps that had an effect.

Hm, thanks. I've got aluminum foil on top of the Phantom, since it won't even take off in the no-fly zone. Maybe that's an issue? I really just want to be able to take this thing far out!

Yeah, P3 Advanced. Here's an image of where I was (red circle) when I got weak signal. I am also flying with no GPS, since I'm right on the edge of a no-fly zone radius from DC.

Is line of sight (even if you can't see it) necessary for these distances? Mine will barely go 300m before it says weak remote signal.

Hi everyone, new to the forums here! I love my Phantom, but I can't seem to get it to fly very far without losing signal. I can go maybe 0.2 miles at 210ft (photo) and then I get the "remote signal weak" warning. I have some aluminum foil atop my bird, because I'm in a "no-fly zone radius,"...

Fly me away!
