A windsurfer reflector has been shown to consistently provide a decent improvement in range. "Buy a P3A/P" is a pretty silly response. On the other hand, if you can achieve the advertised range of the standard and that is insufficient for your usage, than perhaps more research was in order...

Sorry it wasn't clear from your post, are you actually conducting a compass calibration and the error persists?

That's pretty incredible range. Nice job. And close call on the battery :)

Very interesting, thanks for your input.

Correct, the device itself does not, in a perfect world. Let me explain what i'm driving at here... The display device you are using connects to the controller via 2.4ghz WiFi. The controller then connects to the copter via 5.8ghz for control and 2.4ghz for video downlink. The theory i'm...

Sorry I wasn't clear, i meant whatever device you run the DJI Go app from; smartphone, tablet, etc.

happytreefriends, which SMA pigtail did you use? something like this i assume? http://www.amazon.com/U-FL-RP-SMA-Pigtail-Antenna-Cable/dp/B005UWD0EG/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1444928101&sr=1-2&keywords=rp-sma+pigtail So in fact, a bundle like this could be a plug and play kit, as simple as...

Rod, if you could humor me, can you show how your device is mounted on your RC when you achieved that range? I'm wondering if people's vastly differing range results with the P3S could be a product of wifi interference between the RC and device, and RC and copter.
