I'd agree with a previous contributor, some people don't set up the automatic RTH function before setting off. I've seen contributions on this forum where someone's drone goes into hover mode when contact is lost and then they have to jump in their car and drive like a lunatic to try to find...

Didn't read all the posts so maybe someone suggested this but if not you could try to extend your range, I was getting bored with mine (P3 SE) until I did that, went from under a kilometre to 3kms and this has made it a far more interesting experience for me. Blue proton in the US do the Argtek...

It's not that difficult to install the blue proton argtek mod, the hardest part for me was connecting the antennae cables to the tiny posts on the board, it feels like they won't snap into place but you just have to line them up exactly and then bite the bullet and apply some force - I used the...

Argtek range extending mod problems

There's currently a specific Argtek mod for the SE which has a longer black wire to reach the connection at the bottom of the RC

Howdy, just to let people know that i returned the original Argtek mod that i started this thread with and ordered another one and the replacement is far better. Today i flew my P3 SE over 3km and i still hadn't lost contact when i turned it around and the video feed was perfect all the way. I...

That's great thank you

OK many thanks for that, I don't know anyone with a separate controller, finding it very hard to source spare parts tbh. As for the install I have gone back and checked connections and even tried connecting the wires differently in case there was a problem with any of the coaxial inputs on the...

I've been using the tablet with the drone without any issues for a while now and the first problem I've had are since I installed the Argtek mod. You say it couldn't be associated with the antennae but is the video feed not coming back from the drone and passing through the controller to the...

That's great, I have a multimeter I'll check that out. I had the drone out today and I'm finding the best setup on the Argtek is when I use all 3 omni directional antennae, the flat antennae aren't really working for me no matter how I use them. Yes, I'm in Clare :) Regards

Yeah there are differences in wire colour between the stock and the mod but also between the different phantom models - i have the se and the mod has a white wire going to the middle antenna wheras i think the argtek mod for the P3 standard has a grey wire in the middle antenna position. I like...

Why do you think they work well for some people and badly for others?

Yes, since I installed the Argtek mod the dji go app works with the tablet but the video feed is very poor, I might get a few seconds of video every so often but mostly it's a black screen. The video was perfect on the tablet before the mod and yes I can still get video feed with my Huawei p10...

Had the exact same experience, used to get 1km plus esp in open areas but after the argtek mod lucky to get over 100m and my video feed to my tablet is gone to seed though i can still get video on my android phone. I've arranged a return to amazon and have ordered another kit straight from blue...

Hi, I just modded my controller with the Argtek range extender antennae and I've run into problems. There seems to be very little signal coming from the controller and my video feed and range are greatly reduced. I've gone back into the controller and checked connections, swopped around wiring...
