There was a guy on eBay a couple years ago that must have bough a ton of P3S’s just to part out. I bought a brand new camera and gimbal as a back up for $160 Shipped! After my crash I had to wait a couple weeks for the new kit, so if that ever happened again just a quick swap and I’m back in...

Typically gimbal overload means the gimbal is being held back or there is resistance in the actual armature or linkage. You may have bent something like the yaw arm. This happened to me after a crash so I bought a rebuild kit and after some tedious work I got everything working fine. There are...

Location? Absolutely. Imagine what you could get with some boosted mods.

The inspire antennas on the controller are dual band, the P3 P/A antennas on the landing gear are 2.4.

I have a house in the high desert in So Cal and back in January I made an attempt to fly out towards some beautiful bolder mountains. I was very surprised to get an unpaved airstrip warning. This is a dirt airstrip privately owned but has always been abandoned. I flew right up to the edge of it...

All 4 antennas in the PS Pro and Advanced landing gear are 2.4ghz fellas.

Birdside antenna mod version 2.0.

This version of the sunhans booster is better, I have two 2.4’s for vid and a 5.8 for control. 3 watt plus smaller than the 2.5 watt. Cost more though. SUNHANS SH-RC24G3W 3W 2.4GHz eSunRC Booster, 1-3 day shipping, US Distributor | eBay G This power supply is recommended and has worked...

I’m on it! Can’t go wrong for a buck! Thanks for gettin back, hope all is well.

Here’s a run I did from the desert house last year. Crappy launch. My goal is to reach the huge bolder mountains I’m heading at in the vid. I was turned around when I got an unpaved airstrip warning. Lol, like always I fought the RTH but eventually lost. That run was just about 13,500 feet. As...

Put it all back under the Ford Explorer and finish it off... Lesson learned.

As for the Alfa vs DBS? It’s DBS all the way. Back when the Alfa’s were first discovered for use on the phantom transmitter I tested just about every configuration and combination and achieved distances no where near what the DBS gets. First thing I found out about the Alfa’s was the sensitivity...

How much more distance are you looking to get? You can either do some controller mods for a few hundred to 1000’ additional or you can modify the controler and the quad for miles of distance. The set up on my P3s gets more distance than I have battery life for.

One year old BUMP! Matt are you still making these?

Whats up Matt! Ive actually been super busy working on my house although I'm still getting a lot of flying in. My latest long range setup is quite awesome. Boosted DBS using just the wifi and boosted black Cannon for control with two Pagoda receiving antennas for control and the Birdside...
