I have an FC40 and I was wondering if any of you have tried YouTube's free image stabilizing feature. It makes my videos look like they were taken with a gimbal. Huge difference and it's a great option for those that can't afford a real gimbal.

Yea, not sure what they were but I was flying out in the open and they started attacking very aggressively.

Do bees attack your drones too? Today's the second time my drone gets attacked by a swarm of bees. I'm not even flying too low either. I brought it down and noticed a ton of bees following it down trying to sting my drone. When I landed it, it was full of bee guts... Anyone else seen this?

Ok, so I'm pretty frustrated with this MR3040 external antenna mod. I've re-soldered everything and tried to make a better connection. With the wifi analyzer I can tell that the 7dbi Alfa directional antenna does make a difference. Not huge but it's something. However, when I test it outside, my...

Impressive! Thanks for sharing. I should be getting my directional antenna tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to report back with similar results!

That solder point came off when the jumper came off. The solder point was still attached to the jumper so what you see there is just the bare board. That's why I scraped off the part leading to it and soldered it there. I'm pretty sure the connection is made because I can definitely see a...

Don't judge. I know it's a horrible soldering job but I didn't have the right tools and couldn't wait to try this out. I also accidentally broke off the J1 jumper so I had to scratch off the green coating off the strip leading to it so I can solder to that instead. Do you think it's the horrible...

Thanks for your help Dragonash! I did it but the signal isn't as great as I was hoping for. I moved this over to another thread though since this one is more about a mode with the camera and not the repeater. Check out my post under "Extending the wifi range of the FC40 camera". Felt like it was...

I literally just got done doing the same exact thing right now. Same thing happened too. I tested my signal strength though with a Wifi Analyzer app and after the mod, my repeater was putting out a weaker signal than my camera. I also, noticed though that the signal strength was the exact with...

Perfect! Thanks, I'm going to try this later today. Yes, the case was more difficult than I thought to open!

Dragonash, I just got the MR3040 and cracked it open to do the external antenna mod. I tried to follow the video you posted but couldn't tell where the positive and negative connects to. How did you wire this up?

Haha, you're killing me. I was just about to buy my WiFi repeater. Now you've got me curious...

I just learned a very good FPV lesson today. I'm a beginner and this was the first time that I couldn't see, hear, or know where my Phantom was for an extended period of time. I was flying around in a new area and took my Phantom out of sight to go "explore" a bit. I was right about at the...

Kindle Fire must have much better range than a Nexus 7 then because I'm only getting a max of 200m with my nexus 7.

Holy cow, that's intense! That's a pretty indepth mod for your 54G. Thanks for sharing, I really like the portability of the TP-link since it has an internal battery. I was just concerned about the range of it because of it's size but it sounds like you get pretty good range after you add the...
