    Birdside antenna mod version 2.0.

    I just did a flight in airplane mode with Lichi and the range was much better. 400'up and 350' out. I was getting solid video feed but control was dipping in the red. Might have to look into the Alpha antennas. I hear they outperform the Argtec by a large margin.

    Signal boost in app? Hmmm, wasn't aware of that. Is it doing something like the Magic Power mod?

    Birdside antenna mod version 2.0.

    ****, I'd be shocked to get even that! I flew again this evening and was only 40' out and 200' up. The control level dropped a few bars and video was stuttering again. I did a quick Wifi scan and found that every 2.4 channel was being used. I need to take it out in the open and try it again...

    Birdside antenna mod version 2.0.

    Ya it defiantly will help with video range considering the original ones are directional ceramics. For my other stuff I'm using a Taranis Qx7, and for the nitro truck I'm using a FlySky 9 channel rx and the tx module out of a FlySky th9x I haven't done a proper range check with it yet, I...

    Birdside antenna mod version 2.0.

    You can find them on eBay, I got mine for just 10. I'm defiantly getting better range with them. I flew about 400' alt and about 30 ' away. I still was getting drop outs and control warnings tho, but it is better. I'm using the other 2 antennas for my Tmaxx 3.3 with a gimbel fpv 600 mw vtx, GPS...

    Birdside antenna mod version 2.0.

    Interestingly enough, I was able to finally get 400' alt 100' out using Lichi. I tried the same flight with the Go app, and I got a low control signal warning at 100' alt. I quickly brought it down. I'm wondering if Lichi doesn't report low control signal as often as Go, or if there is an issue...

    Will zip tying external 2.4 ghz antennas to the p3s legs interfere with the compass?

    Where is the compass in the P2? I'm new at this DJI stuff, I coming over from the racing and acro side. I did built a racing 220 class quadcopter with a GPS/Compass. Because there is so much electrical noise on these things, keeping the compass clear of it all is next to impossible.

    Birdside antenna mod version 2.0.

    The signal for both look strong, then past 50 to 75 ' up I get a control signal low warning. Its intermittent, then at 300' up its a steady control warning and the video is all but frozen. I know taking it straight over head can cause issues, so I try to take it as far as I'm comfortable with...

    Will zip tying external 2.4 ghz antennas to the p3s legs interfere with the compass?

    Whit I define as an issue is more precaution. Id hate that this mod would screw up the compass mid flight on a RTH. I'll defiantly recalibrate the compass once I put the antenna back on the leg. Right now I have it taped to the side. Thanks for the input. BTW, I'm getting horrible video feed...

    Birdside antenna mod version 2.0.

    I thought it could be my phone at 1st, Galaxy S6, so I factory reset it. Didn't make much of a difference. I won an auction pin ebay for a phantom 3 advanced for 250, what showed up was a standard in advanced packaging. I was refunded a large portion of it back and was able to keep it. So I'm...

    Will zip tying external 2.4 ghz antennas to the p3s legs interfere with the compass?

    Thanks for all the input. It turns out that placing the antennas on the legs with the compass wont cause an issue. More info regarding this can be found here: Birdside antenna mod version 2.0.

    Birdside antenna mod version 2.0.

    That's great to hear! I even started my own thread asking about the very same. I was so paranoid about interfering with the compass I taped one of the antennas to the side of the body. Looks like crap, but now I know its not a problem.

    Birdside antenna mod version 2.0.

    Thanks for the tip on the 4K antennas, I'll look into upgrading the 5.8 later. I'm mainly concerned with attaching the new antennas to the legs and causing any issues with the compass. The video range I'm getting is horrible, only about 200' out, and less than 150' up with constant freezes and...

    Christmas Lights w/ LITCHI WayPoint (Day & Night)

    Wow, that's amazing! Great work with blending day and night footage. This is what I'm planning on doing with my P 3 Standard w/ Lichi
