FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
According to my dev buddy, there is a known issue in OpenWrt kernel regarding re-connection after drop out, which was fixed long time ago. DJI probably did not update the kernel, but went for a tricky workaround causing slow video recovery (around 30 seconds). This is a speculation only.
Per my real world test on original P2V back to early this year, using MIMO with dual LHCP homebrew helical on Rocket M2 AP/repeater is about 30%-40% longer FPV range and more stable video than single helical. Otherwise, others have to fly sideway facing microstrip patch on the aircraft to repeater.garrock said:

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
Flying sideways will face the phantoms patch antenna towards the ground repeater patch antenna face. Which then allows for a more-so circular polarization effect. Which is more robust in a multi-path environment. Those patch antennas have a small notch on one side which causes a pseudo circular polarization effect. However, out of the edges of the patch is it linear polarization.
Since the Phantom drone uses a pseudo CP patch antenna, as it rotates, transitioning from circular to linear polarization causes undesirable effects.
---------------------
Interesting note about the OpenWRT re-connect issue. Lets hope that DJI puts that on a higher priority list. (I can only hope.. right?)

Before I buy the Dronexpert channel 7 , are you going to come with a channel 7 work around ?
I'd hate to spend all that money , then you offer it.

Hi,
I was only getting 350 meters with the booster running on 3.04.
So, I did a downgrade to 1.08 and is now getting over 950 meters, more then happy!

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
Theoretically, the booster app is dealing with FC200 Camera firmware V1.2.5g only, regardless Autopilot System 3.04 or 1.08. You may refer to the FAQ - "Q4. How to test it working?" in the OP for further details.FearOfTheDark said:

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
Might not be that simple, channel 7 does not work in 1.08 so if you like to stay on this firmware it might not be available unless you upgrade to later firmware.

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
I keep my Vision+ with stock firmware 3.00, and unfamiliar about channel 7 with 1.08. Can Vision+ channel 7 work on old 1.08 hack and VISION app similar to original P2V?cougar said:
Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
Can be a possibility, problem being that the "hack" only works with windows so people using Mac (like me) are out cold?

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
As far as I know the vision + doesn't work at all with the old hack. Only if you turn off the app.

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
So if that is the case, no luck for 1.08 users???

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
Most folks are not on 1.08, so the majority of people could still benefit from PVFlyer adding in this feature. Also, for those on 1.08, I know there are good reasons to stay there, but even some of them would probably update for this new feature.

Plus when the ground station becomes available I'm sure you'll have to update.

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
This is very possible, but it would take a HUGE benefit before I leave 1.08. I do know most people are on newer firmware but the 1.08 is SO much nimbler and fun to fly.
Have two P2V+ in the family and the other is on 3.04, flown them side by side and in my view 1.08 is the best.
As far as restrictions, don't have any problem with the no-fly areas that some people object to but like the nimbleness of 1.08
