d4ddyo said:Awesome. Do you notice how often and when the receiver is picking up from the Helical or the cloverleaf?
OH and I noticed... you replaced the stock 2.4 Transmitter Antenna on the RC?

And did you see a big difference from using only your Black pearl Diversity system?
At 4km I get a good image from my Black Pearl.

I used to power the Duo from the DC-out on the BP but now I carry a 3S lipo in my pocket with an extension lead and power it from that, just to be safe.
In my opinion the Black Pearl as a receiver is a waste of time when used with the ImmersionRC 600mW Tx.
Not only is the range severely limited but the picture quality is terrible also.
The Duo not only compares the signal quality, it also compares the actual video image to decide which antenna to use, apparently.
Which Tx are you using with the BP?
The TP-Link 8dBi antenna mod makes quite a difference I think.

The flight data at left of the screen is from Flytrex data logger ?

The BP works fine with boscam or flysight vtx, immersionRC 600mw tge range is very limited...
Jimpic said:It is far from 2trickpony's record (6km) but here is my flight over the sea: 4200 m with Black Pearl and ImmersionRC 600.
Interesting part starting around 1'30"...
Since then, I didn't want to go farther than 2km at the same location.

Also my first video with Dashware to include the Flytrex datas.
Nice video, but what happened exactly at 1:30?

As you can see, the Phantom just fell and lost about 15m. It happened when I started turning (may be loosing RC link). I know that Failsafe didn't kicked in and you can see small and quick moves (it's me trying to regain control). I guess the zenmuse got disconnected for a few second and that would explain this position.
In fact I have had this kind of issue since I own my Phantom 2.
I used to experience this kind of fall when I switched S1 (ATTI or FS, or after regaining control after FS). I removed the switch and put a new one: no change.
I bought a Futaba and installed the Futaba receiver as well, and still, when I switch ATTI or FS with the equivalent switch, the same happens, but not always.
This time it happened only when I turned.
Here is another video that I made 2 months ago to show this issue:

I am thinking of a Naza bug, and may replace it if I can find one.
Today, first flights with firmwares updated (assistant 2.0) and it didn't happen. I hope it's fixed but I am not sure though.
Concerning the battery, I always charge them after each flight, but as I did some tests before (at home), it wasn't full any more. I knew that I would turn back at 60% anyway, which I did.

On your Phantom RC is your antenna (big duck) better than a nimrod or Skew planar antenna?
