    Max distance

    I have a P3S with Argtec range extender antennas and installed MagicPowerv5 firmware, which I managed to do with the help of my two sons as spotters. I lost visual line of sight at about 1600 feet... and I ignored my paranoia of not having the drone in my sight and was talking to my sons on...

    Anyone know how to build a Amplified Antenna Booster for the Phantom 3 Pro?

    ARGtek DJI Phantom 3 Standard WiFi Signal Range Extender Six (6) Antenna Kit NEW ---... I installed this into my Phantom 3 and it works great. I also upgraded my firmware to Magic Power v5. Of course you do this at your own risk.... in my drone it works fantastic. I hope this helps.

    P3 Firmware Reset all to stop possible autopilot problem

    I would suggest do not update firmware, but change props or balance all four props on the AC.

    Tips and Tricks for setting up Phantom 3 Standard?

    I also fly a P3S and the DJI Go app is the one I use. I had the same issue with the video. I was able to improve the picture by installing a range extender. If your picture starts glitching when you are flying some distance away but improves when the range is closer, it could indicate you are...

    Refurbished P3 batteries

    I recently bought a refurbished P3 battery and when I received it, I charged it and checked that it was a new battery as advertised. I then checked the number of times charged and it showed 1 time charged. All cells were charged and the voltage was correct. Then I see on my remote that it said...

    Big Business drone delivery - effecting Recreational use of Drones

    Does anyone know if the FAA looked at the safety aspect of drone delivery? For example when I fly my drone I have to make sure my dogs are not in the same yard as I takeoff or land my drone. My dogs try to catch the drone. I keep them away so they do not get hurt or damage my drone. Now how is...

    If the motors are ok, and they have not been replaced...change the props...or balance the props you have.

    P3S Battery looks the same as a P2A

    Are P3S Drones able to fly on P2A batteries? P2A batteries are 11.1v at 5000mah and P3S batteries are 15v at 4850 mah - On the outside they look the same? Personally I am not taking the chance. Just curious.

    2 drones drop out of the sky, none return.

    I have had a similar reaction to certain areas I fly in. My drone didnt crash though. Is there any RF distortion in the area? When I find any distortion, I go fly elsewhere. My buddy took his P2 up and over some power lines and he said it was like he hit a wall, his drone did come down. Did you...
