    Your top speed with your P3?

    56.6 on Sunday. Blew my mind! It gets out of range quick at that speed... Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Sending P3 in because of Range Issues?

    OK guys and girls. I took my P3A for what I thought would be one last flight before shipping it off to DJI. I was at a new remote site and was trying to get some footage of a train track and decided to just give it a shot at distance. Well, this time, I went 6,655.2 feet (1.25 miles). I...

    Sending P3 in because of Range Issues?

    I've done the IMU calibration several times, gimble too. At this point I don't know what options I have. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Sending P3 in because of Range Issues?

    I have done the 32 channel hack. It is range - not image transmission. I start getting the video transmission warnings and just after that are the signal loss warnings. I can fly it 200ft - 700ft high (of course I am not admitting to breaking the rules, I just mean hypothetically ;) ), and it...

    Sending P3 in because of Range Issues?

    I have. I have done everything as far as the antennas parallel, perpendicular to the P3, tried windsurfer, etc.

    Sending P3 in because of Range Issues?

    Has anyone sent their P3 in for issues with range/remote/etc? I have read all of the posts and tried everything, but the most I can get out of my P3A is around 4k feet in wide open fields. Typically I am around 2500 ft. I wanted to know if anyone else has sent theirs in and the results you...

    No I don't have either of those. What is it you would like to know? My email is [email protected] if that is easier?

    P3A Range Issue

    I will try the 32 channel hack. That was actually on my "to-do" list for today. Thanks guys.

    P3A Range Issue

    Ok, so I understand that if I am in trees, or under trees that the trees can affect the range considerably. But, what if I am in an area approximately the size of 1-2 football fields, with trees on all sides. With enough altitude, in my opinion, the trees should not be a problem. Am I...

    P3A Range Issue

    I have actually tried that (by mistake). Last week when I was flying I had the wifi off and had the iPad in airplane mode by mistake. I later thought that may have caused me problems but then when I flew today I realized it did not change.

    P3A Range Issue

    Thanks for the reply. So if I am flying it in a downtown area (mostly commercial), the wifi routers will seriously cause that much interference? I have seen videos of a P3 in New York fly over the river and take video of the city and not have range issues. Mine would probably have dropped...

    P3A Range Issue

    I have read post from others about this who seem to have figured out what their issues were. However, I cannot seem to figure out what is going wrong for me. I got a P3S for Christmas and after a week I sent it back for the P3A because I wanted more range. However, since I have had my Phantom 3...

    Newbie transportation question

    Thanks for everyone's input! I've found prop removal to not be bad. You guys have me second guessing my aftermarket guards though.
