    Question about range testing

    Today I got out over a mile (almost 5500 feet), my farthest flight so far with the ARGtek antenna. The first time the low signal alert came on I stopped forward motion and hovered for a few seconds, and the signal improved so I went a little further, and did that a few times until I reached...

    does the phantom 3 standard have good quality??

    it's great at shooting video, most people still don't use 4k so yes I think it's totally acceptable for youtube. I have been shooting video without any modifications to settings (right out of the box) and the video is awesome. Everyone I show my videos to comments on how great the quality is.

    Just ordered the Argtek kit

    how do you guys get 5-10k feet out of a stock P3S? I couldn't even get 2k feet over a flat field far away from any interference. I have heard others say they get similar performance from a stock model but I just couldn't ever get that so I got the ARGtek kit, today I got out to 5k feet, my...

    you can probably do it either way, I fly about twice a week and usually charge it the night before I plan on using it but I don't think it really matters

    Any sense in extending the wire antenna on the P3S?

    I read a lot about modding the controller, and I recently installed the ARGtek kit on my controller but I don't think I have heard of anyone modding the antenna on the drone itself. Today I took it out to 5000 feet, my longest flight so far. I was wondering if it would help increase the range...
