    What's wrong with my phantom 3 standard!?

    Those look original to me, I also bought from the Blue Proton site the same equipment but version 1.....I believe, 2 panels and 1 pole antenna back then, a year or so ago. I too have the same problem, at first I contacted DJI and they blamed it on the phone I was using as it wasn't on their...

    Icarus for Phantom 3S

    My FPV signal is o.k it's my 5.8GHz that seems to drop off, I always seem to have decent FPV signal but can't get much past 100m or so before the bird initiates RTH ?? Any ideas ?

    My Range has been reduced greatly.

    You guy's should be thankful your even getting that, I'm lucky if I can even get much past 100m out.

    Icarus for Phantom 3S

    I too am looking for an answer to my crap distance performance of my P3S and have just found this thread and read your post. If the 2.4GHz frequency is for video and telemetry signal and 5.8GHz is the frequency between the RC and the AC relating to the distance you can achieve surely bolting on...

    How to Update Tx-Power with Magic Power v5.0

    That was with Beginner mode off.....terrible I know, that's why I'm pissed off and bought the ARGtek's, re-linked the RC and am now trying the Magic Power. I'm not the only one that has had the same issues....there is numerous posts on the web and YouTube etc about this. DJI has promised this...

    How to Update Tx-Power with Magic Power v5.0

    Before I installed the ARGtek's, hard to say really maybe about 30m depending on conditions.

    How to Update Tx-Power with Magic Power v5.0

    I updated my P3S with the Magic Power V5 recently and took out the Phantom for a flight this morning, and sadly I can't say I noticed any difference. She was still initiating RTH at about 100m out....what else can I do to make this thing more usable ?? I have fitted a set of Argtek Antenna's, I...

    Phantom 3 Standard range mod , let's do it together...

    Hi guy's looking for a little advice. I have read the last 20-30 pages of this thread and all was looking promising and then not so promising due to software programme's seemingly reverting back to area specific limits etc among'st other potential pitfalls.....so I'm now a little confused and...

    (After 1.6.8 update) Phantom 3S Weak RC signal problem SOLVED!!!

    Just found this thread and I experience the same short distance problem with my Std. I have had my P3S for a few months now and was originally flying in town/city parks etc and experiencing short distance problem, so I have been going further a field into the countryside on the quest for better...

    New Prop's = Jello.

    Thanks Macdoogal, I think the problem was prop im-balance as I balanced the prop's and it seems a lot better now.

    HELP! Battery drain in seconds after takeoff

    Rob, hopefully sorted now but it may be worth noting what balance socket you are using on your charger. I had a similar problem a while back only to discover that I was most likely inserting the battery's balance lead into the wrong socket.

    Troubleshooting power drain after takeoff

    Something like this happened to me a while back and someone posted back to me advising me to ensure that I was inserting the battery's balance lead into the correct slot when charging, I have done this every time when charging my battery's and have never had the problem again....so possibly...
