the standard has a much more limited range compared to the Advanced and the professional. It's my understanding that the advanced and the professional use the light bridge technology. The standard uses standard wi-fi like and Autel, GoPro Karma or Yuneec. When I had my P3 Professional I could...

Thanks for the information!

John, Thank you for an incredible explanation! This is a question I've had for the last two years.

Wow, I had no idea it was such a big deal! I can tell you from using it, it's awesome compared to other drones, so I knew something was VERY different for the better but I've just been trying to figure out how to explain it to someone shopping for a drone. I'm going to be a DJI rep in a retail...

So what makes the light bridge so much better? Is it just flat out more power or a different frequency? or something else? Thanks for your thoughts....

What kind of help do they need?

I've used Litchi many times. Once you upload the flight the quad will run the mission even if you turn the controller off. I just make sure my first and last way points are at my location. I agrree it should not have stopped and hovered, it was probably finishing the mission and on the way back.

I know the motors are 18.00 dollars because I replaced all 4 on my Phantom 3 Pro

There are also many Certified DJI repair centers in the USA if it is out of warranty. Some are very affordable. I have used Drones Made Easy in San Diego. I had the bottom shell replaced. They charge $45.00 an hour plus parts. I think the part was about $40.00

PS I remember how excited I was to get a 1200 baud modem! Double the speed!

Update now I have my Part 107. Passed with a 92. Contact me if I can help. Thanks Joe

PsychoBob Great Point! I did not realize you have had your unit so long and had so many great flights! For some reason, I assumed or misread and thought you had just got it. I'm sorry for the mistake on my part. I hope you get any trouble worked out!

The main reason from day 1 over 2 years ago I did not buy the P3s was it did not have light bridge. I wanted something that would REALLY go far not only for going far but for the power to bust through other signals. I've always told everyone that ever asks me about a drone and which on to buy is...

Now I have actually done that, fly my drone to another house BUT It's a friend of mine who also ownes a drone and I would hover or circle his house he would hear the drone come out look up and then get his in the air. But in this case I guess the guy does not know this person.
