    RC comparison: P4P vs. P3P

    I guess I should't expect comparable performance, as I am currently amped @ 3 watts. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

    RC comparison: P4P vs. P3P

    I'm currently a P3P owner looking to buy a P4P. I'm running an amped MAXXRANGE antenna. Living in a semi-wooded area, my range is approximately 2.5 - 3 miles. I realize a direct comparison of my situation would be impossible for others to assess, but I am very interested to see if any of you...

    What equipment do you recommend to edit 4k video.

    Not sure that's the vid card. I'm running two Titan X's in SLI, and the editor screen acts a little flakey sometimes. I thought it might be due to running three screens (7680x1440).

    What equipment do you recommend to edit 4k video.

    I'm running Power Director 14, on a 5960X, with 32GB of RAM. Seems to render rather well, time-wise. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    RC battery

    My question was concerning the battery in the Remote Control, not the flight batteries. Are they the same type, requiring the same care? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Question RE: Sunhans 3W Booster operation.

    I flew my first boosted mission with the Itelite Maxx Range, and 3W Sunhans boosters this afternoon. I noticed as soon as I plugged both boosters in, the left booster's LED turned blue, while the right booster was white, and remained so throughout the flight. I was able to fly to about 12,000ft...

    Maxx VS Terminator. Long distance antenna shootout!

    Can someone please post the size of those replacement washers? I just broke one of my connections, while taking the Maxx off to install my new amps. I knew this would eventually happen the day I did the initial installation. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Battery bug, or incompetent operator...

    Saturday, I took two brand new batteries out for their maiden voyages. After flying the first battery, without incident, I removed said battery, forgetting to power down the AC first. I then installed the second new battery, powered up the drone, and checked the voltage in DJI Go before arming...

    Maxx VS Terminator. Long distance antenna shootout!

    I tried, for quite some time, to pinch the tabs enough to extract the stock antennas intact, but ultimately failed. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Maxx VS Terminator. Long distance antenna shootout!

    After installation of either panel, is a swap out as simple as disconnection of one panel, and reconnection of the other, using the same cables? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Maxx VS Terminator. Long distance antenna shootout!

    Took the MaxxRange out for a second spin. Lost signal about 6000ft, then realized the panel was tilted too high. Dropped the angle of the panel closer to the horizon, and bingo! Ran out to 9000' when I decided to turn around due to wind. I feel much better about the MaxxRange now, but still...
