Flying from inside house or car anyone?

[Jeremiah Nelson]

Finally got to fly a little today. 3 different runs.
1 - I run the Lcoms + sunhan amps, which is this video. Video feed wasn't as clear as I had hoped. Started to glitch close to 2500 feet. Went close to 3000 each run.
2 - I run the Lcoms straight to the remote. Lost it all at 2780 feet, same spot, same run.
3 - I run the DBS02 antenna with amps. Solid and clear all the way through. Clean vid with no glitches. Got to 3100 feet then dropped below the tree line.

Edit: this wasn't a max distance test. Just flew to that distance because that's where some trees were. Had full bars except for when I dropped behind trees with Lcoms alone, not amped. Same location I flew 2.66 miles stock. So yeah, just a little tree penetration here.

This was a very windy day. I really shouldn't have been flying buy I just couldn't help myself!! I was surprised in the difference of the video feed between the Lcoms and the DBS02, but, I know every location will have a different outcome probably. I'm curious as to what the RF Linx will do. I didn't have time to install and mess with the settings today but hope to get to do that soon.

This vid is off the sd card. The glitching shows up in the cached version.

Windy and nervous, but had a blast!! I'll have to search hard to find good places to test. I'm in the hills and This place was about the flattest place around. Hope this works.

Not having luck with the phantom 4 pro. First one the radio completely bricked during the update. Carolina Drones reluctantly sent me a new one. Frank said he's sold 50 of things with no issues as if it was my fault. Anyway, flew the replacement outside with a non modded radio this morning and got a disconnect 100 ft up. Return to home sent it 80 ft away from takeoff. Would not reconnect all I could do was stand under the tree. She came tumbling down so fast the landing gear ripped apart and the shell cracked.

Next time I will order on amazon.

Not worried DJI has much better customer service. Not knocking these guys but this purchase should have been made from a place with hassle free returns. It's my fault for not doing so. Sure it's a huge hit for them.

Still a virgin.Darn weather...

Only place I can think of is keep a check on UK EBay. Rrally hope you can find a set hotashes. To me, the quality difference would be worth the export. But all depends on you... Quality vs bargain. I personally would go quality. Good luck buddy! Hope u can find them.
Edit: just seen u said case.. sorry. I was speaking of Lcoms... Which I hope u can get too. I lucked out on the case. Got off of a forum member here. Keep an eye out in the classifieds here too. I waited 3 months for a deal.

I tested my l com antennas at the lake down from my house and got out to just over 8000 ft. before I lost signal. Using the 3 watt sunhan amps and gl 300c controller. Not sure if this is normal for these antennas or not, so can't wait to see what you guys can do with yours. Waiting on some cables to test my roof setup. Hope to get a lot further out with those.

Yeah I've been 8.5 miles in the car with the l coms using one black 3 w suhan on video only. Channel 21 and adjust quality downlink to lowest setting.

 

[Bear501]

Jeremiah I thought that is what you said before about the l coms. I have not had that good of results with mine yet. Not real sure that I don't have something else going on either with the remote itself or my amps are bad.

Try just one amp at a time on video only and re test. You don't need one on control. Hell today I flew 7 batteries in a row before I realized I didn't even put both antennas on the car. Control was on floorboard and I was 2000 feet away behind trees with full signal. Start there.

I was using an old p3 remote today for the p4 also

Alot depends on interference in your area. These things rock.
I went out long one time with my car set up ( Omni's ) over water. I turned around for battery. Just posted the video on my You Tube Channel.

Best part, check out details. 1 message when it switches to GPS. not 1 disconnect in almost 4 miles..
I don't fly distance much, the best part was not having to aim anything. Sit back in the car and fly

Nice turbo, although I would guess you ended up using the map for direction rather the fpv as you left the lake and headed for the fields ha ha. Good distance though...
