Can you beat this distance?

Hillo...Battery was fully charged but after doing compass check etc...lifted off 97% and hit RTH when at 63% signal was dropping out.

Is that total flight distance or one way ? And no interference?

How about mine? I went past 5km.... All bone stock.

Phantom 3 pro was stock, battery was stock, it was. It even 100% when I took off, it was 97%. No windsurfer not DBS antenna. Just the stock antenna pointed correctly.
Did not even plan to do this record, it was a spur of the moment decision, I took off and even hovered abit to adjust my gimbal roll. Came back with about 23% battery to spare.

Don't believe it? Watch my video.

Warning: yawn-inducing video.

Lemme know what you think!

Let me reiterate that I do not have any battery mods or antenna mods done to my craft. I bought the drone in August 2015. I'm not a techie or hands on person so I do not like opening my expensive toy and messing with the wires.

My craft is totally stock. Totally impressed by the Lightbridge technology.

That's a lot of vessels in the water. I would be pissed if I saw all that on our waters in Florida. Nice flight.

Nice video I've never seen so many empty cargo ships.

Pushed my P3A out to 8600 feet today. She could have kept going, but I kind of chickened out.

Oh I know the feeling. pucker up baby. with only wind surfer on.

does having a LTE ipad signal help better than just connecting a tablet to the controller..sorry new guy here?

 

[phxbird57]

I was a LG 8.5 tablet for my P3a and I use a 5 inch motorola phone for my P2V+. You just want to make sure you can see the screen and that the tablet or phone has a fast enough chip to keep up with the video. Some of the older tablets single core chip the video freezes. As for the cell service it helps but you don't need it if you download the google map area your going to be at first.
Hope that helps.

Even with all the antenna modifications out there, there is not one that will broadcast seven or 8 miles one way.

Well I'm cheap I made my own.

 

[phxbird57]

But the proof is in the flight 18000 is not bad.

 

[phxbird57]

looking at the pair you have. you may want to hot glue the two part together to keep them straight and how tight does that hold the antenna's. You what the antenna's same distance form the bottom to the top. on some of the wind surfers I've made I'll put a bracket at the up to hold the antenna in place. I've seen some made that way also
