    Litchi waypoints: uploaded vs controller?

    Hello Pilots, P3P user here. I'm new to Litchi and haven't used it out in the field yet. I want to plan the missions very carefully (leaving lots of extra altitude in different terrains, always going above trees, and open fields, etc) but based on past experience, the video feed will stop...

    Smartphones and Drones=

    A better way of handeling data, photos,locations, failsafe, etc. Use a couple of smartphones and the national wireless phone system. One smartphone on the drone and the other smartphone in your pocket or somebody elses pocket. Apps anyone? Thinkingman

    I am having a great time with my 4. Sport mode is very fast , my go app has recorded once 85 mph with a wind, not kidding. I just wanted to know if anyone had done a comparison between speed and distance , at what speed do you get the longest distance. I normally fly about 17-19 miles per hour...

    P3S with 1.6.80 - Upgrade or Downgrade?

    Hi, I got my P3S second hand, for a good price (about 600$ SH, was 800$ new) with a extra battery. It had only 3 months and a half. I bought it 3 days ago. It still has warranty, bought from a local dealer. It came with 1.6.80 and it only flew 30m high and 100m away, before it was lagging...

    P3A 3 mile range. Yay..Updated to 1.9.6... regret.

    Does anyone have any solutions ? I am now trying my hand at 1.8. I'm lucky to get 2300 feet now on 1.9.6 where I was getting 2.88 miles just minutes before. Saw someone was able to downgrade from 1.8 to 1.7 and regain their range. Does anyone have the 1.7 zip or bin file ?

    Specific rig for 4k Range?

    Hi everyone, I'm really really not impressed with the range i'm getting on my P3 4K. Admittedly i can get a good 600+ feet distance and maybe similar height but even in the middle of nowhere it's not good enough. I was eyeing up the DBS mod and i was wondering if the panel is only available to...

    P3S Range issue.. Firmware? App?

    I'm getting pretty frustrated from the upgrades & downgrades of the P3S. I have had this range issue where it RTH on short range every time. I have seen posts on downgrading & I have used all the firmwares to test & still poor range issue. I have seen posts on Downgrading the App as that was...

    Drone to capture pictures at 4km distance

    Hello! I'm new here, thanks for running this great forum. I'm not very competent about drones, only used a few toys in the past. In order to check the state of an almond field, which is located at 4 km from my home, I need a drone that can fly autonomously from my home to the site at a given...

    ITELITE DBS Mod - need some help

    All, I've been doing research in this forum (so glad I found it, love all the resources) about increasing range, and based on my very novice opinion, I think I want to use the ITELITE DBS Mod for my P3S. I've watched a few videos and am pretty sure I'll screw something up. Are there companies...

    Lost signal at barely 100m (300ft)

    I just bought a new Phantom 4 and have taken it out 6-7 times so far. Everything worked perfectly fine until today, when I went up to 100m and suddenly lost connection. It came back down on its own and I picked up the signal again at around 80m, but then it kept saying the signal was very weak...

    Phantom 3 range extender

    Just curious about what experience anyone has had with these, good, bad, or indifferent. As cheap as they are, and that what threads I have read nobody says GET THIS!!!, probably useless. But not interested in disassembling remote or high dollar mods. I am flying a Phantom 3 Standard 4k, has...

    Range variations with P3S

    I have had my P3S for about 2 weeks and have made several flights. I have been reading all the problems people have with the 1.6.8 update but I went ahead and did it when I got my Phantom. The range of distances vary so much that it must have something to do with several things, i.e. the update...
