Oh yes. Good luck same here where I live and its over a lake. But I attended last year with no drone. We were so close to the launch site, fireworks debris were landing on our heads and the area was engulfed with smoke. We knew we were very close from the intensity of the sound. I can easily...

Thankyou ... for real!

A fireworks display will happen soon around July 4th. I will likely have to do this on the sly. But if my drone survives I will share footage.

Yeah you're right. My affinity for urban exploration probably doesn't marry up well with my expectations for distance. I may save up and get a mavic Pro. But I likely wont sell my P3Standard. Where I live , there are 2 major fireworks celebrations each year less than 1/2 a mile from where I...

I would kill to have that kind of range. My personal best is 1900 feet flying around 350 feet up. My RTH settings appear to be correct. I suspect this may be due to the ancient Galaxy S4 Im using. If I could get anywhere near 1/2 a mile I would be as giddy as a kid in a candy store. I dont think...

no I always activate RTH via the UI. I may try this. Every time my video freezes from loss of signal and the full color goes to black and white. If I try RTH it fails every single time. Doesnt make sense to me I thought it was a fail safe for low battery or loss of signal. I assume RTH shouldn't...

Okay I will explain. When I have reached about 1300 feet away, the video loses signal, the screen goes from color to black and white last image the drone sent back. DJI go says signal lost and offers RTH option which I accept. About 3 seconds later, it says RTH failed. Follow up attempts always...

Well I finally got all my parts in and completed Incognitos list and I am very happy. It all works as expected. I havent been able to reach the massive distances yet, but as I am discovering there is more to be learned. Its not as simple as boosting the signal and getting huge returns. Im...

I have the ARGTek and my personal best in terms of distance away is 1900 feet and of course I lost video signal and had to fly home using the compass. And RTH failed several times. I think its just something I will have to accept that flying in a populated city is just not going to yield ranges...

Wow. My friend was a daredevil with his P3Standard. He flew up about 2500 feet. Tried to bring it home but it emergency landed and he lost it for almost 3 months. 2 weeks ago a neighbor knocked on his door and returned his drone in perfect working condition. No telling how long it was outside in...

Oh man I would love to get that kind of range. I cant even get 1/2 mile where I live and thats with a decent line of sight. Too much interference i guess. Maybe I will take a trip out to the country and give it a try there. Just when it starts to get fun, I lose video signal. And strangely , RTH...

I know this thread is several months old. But wow I cant thank enough all those that contributed to this appreciated wealth of knowledge. People are very impressed on the FB community since I have informed them about this. Many people like myself feel suffocated by the P3Standard's distance...

I live in city conditions far from rural areas. I just want better than sub 1/2 mile range I tolerate now. This limited range is terribly suffocating for what I want to explore. I've out grown the default distance limitations of my loved P3Standard. But cant afford and P3Pro or mavic. This will...

I just ordered everything on the list I needed. I already own the ARGtek system so that reduced my cost. All items purchased on ebay from all US sellers (for quicker shipping times) for 238.00. Honestly if I can get only 1/2 of the improvement this promises , I will be happy. Im sick to death of...
