First Timer Quick Questions

[woobisah]

1: Antenna perpendicular to the ground or parallel with the range extender? The manual says perpendicular, but I've seen videos saying it should be parallel to the range extender.

2: Swapping Batteries. Mine came with 3, can I keep swapping them for continuous flying or will it over heat?

3: Recording FOV: 110 or 80?

4: Protection guards? Do you use any? Prop guards, gimbal guard....

5: Vision+ Utility Pro? Worth the price?

Antenna perpendicular to the ground or parallel with the range extender?

I keep mine parallel with the range extender. Whichever way you go, make sure the tip of the antenna never points directly toward your Phantom.

Swapping Batteries. Mine came with 3, can I keep swapping them for continuous flying or will it over heat?

3 in a row should be just fine. Just don't recharge the batteries until they cool down.

Protection guards? Do you use any? Prop guards, gimbal guard

I use these:

1. As much as you can, long side of the antenna directed toward the Phantom
2. The Phantom has 4 big fans that stop it overheating. DJI did a 72 hour test to show what a Phantom can handle.
3. Whatever works for you
4. Propguards can cause more (and potentially worse) problems than the prevent
