Good luck in getting a signal in Manhattan.

Didn't know CrystalSky cost that much. I question why it would be "highly" recommended when this thing cost more than the drone itself.

It lags/freezes just before connection or signal warnings comes up. That's why I don't use it when flying from my backyard (residential) but no problem when out in open fields.

That is correct. The DJI CrystalSky is the one highly recommended. I had the Samsung Tab A before I got the drone. Just needed to remove all the crappy apps to free up the tablet resources and it worked for me. Saved me some bucks. Getting the Inspire 1 device holder was a no brainer for me.

In addition, I have these installed on my RC. It worked for me.

Yes. I installed the DJI Inspire 1 (part 45 I think??) mobile device holder on my P3S controller. There's a few videos in youtube on how to do it.

I use my Samsung Note 5 phone when flying in residential areas and my Samsung Tab A 10.1" in wide open spaces.

Thank you much!

I wish the FLIR Black Hornet drone was available to the public. I heard it's an awfully fun drone to fly.

Hello there coming from another newbie. Aside from the forums, I found this page as a good place to start: DJI Phantom Accessories & Tips - Phantom Help

Interesting. Hopefully it will not be exclusive to military or law enforcement.

Good Points Mark and Clench. I'll probably do that eventually. Winter is coming here in Jersey so I should have a lot of down time with the drone. Right now, I'm reading on the Bird side Antenna Mod. Will probably start ordering the parts tonight or tomorrow.

The Argtek was the first mod I made on my P3S and I am satisfied with the results. Flying from my backyard (residential), I can now venture to the next block and more without any loss signal warnings. But the big difference is when I take my drone to the open fields (parks, beach,mountain, etc)...

Ha! Ha! Good one dude. Not sure that's gonna fly with my wifey though.

A friend was moving to NYC so he persuaded me to buy his P3S for $250. I had no idea what I was getting into.
