    New P3S vs refurbished

    I bought my P3S Refurbished. $300 on Amazon from DJI authorized dealer. Looks literally brand new. The battery cycle count was 1. Came with 8 new DJI props in plastic. I have flown it every day after work for months. I have now over 100 hours of flight and 150miles distance recorded. I...

    21min average battery life?

    So I have noticed when recording in 2.7k and flying at high altitude +400ft. I typically reach the critical 10% battery level in about 21minutes. I'm running a P3S with DJI Carbon fiber reinforced props and a few other irrelevant mods and I am curious what sort of battery life others are...

    Best Range Extender Antenna Thus Far!

    I completely understand what you're saying. My worry was about having the necessary 50ohm load on the transmitter's secondary. Seems your setup does properly load the transmitter secondary windings at 50ohm impeadence since it's still functional. That's awesome. Glad to hear it works well for...

    Best Range Extender Antenna Thus Far!

    I couldn't agree more about the fabrication of mounts and such for fastening of those components securely to the controller. I'll come up with something. You have done the important part and given me proof of concept utilizing those components. Thanks for the details. I just may follow in your...

    Best Range Extender Antenna Thus Far!

    Awesome setup! I'm running Alfa APA-M25 panels as well. Getting give or take 1mile range depending on conditions and location. I have been meaning to fabricate something similar to your setup. What Amps are you running? Manufacturer, Models, specifications and such?

    New Argtek Mod Installed Today

    Check your internal connections. Most are consistently achieving +1 mile range with the Alfa panels. The Alfa APA-M25 out performs the Argtek blue proton antennas by a spectacular degree in my experience. The only setup that may outperform the Alfa panels without adding amplifiers might be a DBS...

    Could you please specify the amplifier model numbers and possibly post a picture of your controller setup? I have been considering adding amplifiers recently and noticed a few amps on Amazon by that same manufacturer. The Alfa APA-M25 antennas are decent although I'm sure you are getting an...

    Litchi vs Ce Mode

    The Litchi software will absolutely function properly in the event of signal loss. The mission is uploaded to the aircraft first, then in the event of signal loss the aircraft will continue the mission to its end. After I began to achieve over a mile signal range with controller mods I stumbled...

    Attention Litchi Users!

    Litchi pilots please help! I have a P3S with an antenna mod. Following enthusiastic recommendation I have recently installed Litchi on my Samsung Galaxy S7 for use with my P3S. So far I have only used the VR FPV mode. Very neat to say the least. Surprisingly high resolution. So I'm now doing...

    Responsible Battery Use?

    Thanks for the response, not sure where you are located. However where I live in southern Ohio very close to the river, this time of year >90 farenheit and unbelievably high humidity is a given. That in mind, do you think I should allow a cool down period in between batteries? Would it be...
