FPVLR VS. DBS

Not too difficult. I used a small jeweler a screwdriver to unlock. Putting back is more difficult
This is a great little kit to help with this type of work. I used it for the itelite install and was super happy with it.

Easy if you know what you are doing.
Best to take the USB board off completely which makes it a lot easier with the con ribbon, remember to take out the 2 side ribbons too.
Good luck.
Don't do that bro... Your opinions about antennas you have dealt with is your own and nobody can argue your opinions.
But don't post complete misinformation and mark it as "truth"... Have you tried any of this with an itelite antenna yourself? Penetration or obstacles?
We have flown out to a mile at 6ft off the ground... We have flown out to 1.3miles and landed and took off again. There are other threads here showing killer penetration thru trees etc also... For example... DBS Mods = Power!!! | DJI Phantom Forum
Once again not arguing your points about other antennas... There are a few very good choices out there now... Ours is just one of them... Just keep the fact or "truth" part accurate.
Not doggy Your antenna at all but truth is it can't compare to FPVLR with amps sorry
You are making a good amount of money selling them I am sure and it's a good deal for most that are using your antenna over stock but really .. It's not misinformation.. I did not say your antenna was bad or anything like that I think if I was not in a town with houses, building and trees all over your antenna would be fine for me. I would be interested in it too and if you would like me to a video of it with review I would be happy to not at all against you or the product ....think it great that we all have options ...There are some positive things I see with it too so ..just to let you know ...Thanks
I'm also interested in this. As well as long range I'm looking for maximum penetration for low level flying at distance with lots of tall trees around. How about something like this?
Horizon 2.4 GHz RF amp dual kit ( 2 x 1 watt )
As it should be... If you're comparing a hundred dollar antenna to a more than 300 dollar full rig with amps this should be the case.
Next test for somebody... Throw the itelite panel on the boosted rig with amps and level the playing field a bit...
No quarrels with you bro... The only misinfo i was talking about was when you said itelite "can't do that"
I am running the DBS mod out fly my battery what more would I need? Also great penetration but aiming is key!
It's best to run the cables underneath the controls . With them on top they could cause some issues. Make sure ribbon cable is seated properly . Unless there's an issue with the cables themselves. Hopefully it's something simple . Have you tested it in an open area with no interferences.
Do a test in an area with a good line of sight and no interference.
Yeah try a different location. Make sure the antenna is perpendicular to the ground and point in the direction of the uav.
Where your evidence ? Do you even have an itelite antenna? Please don't talk truths if you have never tried it.
That doesn't solve the problem that I believed this antenna would solve (boosting the penetrating power through trees and other objects).
I've heard people talk about mods when using the DBS antenna. What are these mods and would they even make a difference in my location?
You can definitely add boosters to your itelite antenna. Have you added 32 channels to your pilot go app
I fly using the higher channels usually 31 or 32 . There is almost zero interference
No I haven't although I've heard it mentioned on many threads here. I'm using the iOS DJIGo app (2.1.0).
It's a pretty simple hack . If I can do it anybody can do it. I find it pretty nice having clear channels to chose from and I would think the clearer the channel the better the range. At least that's my theory . I haven't really been able to test it out because before the hack I could fly out to 13k with no issues with just the itelite antenna. I always chicken out and turn around with full signals . My only concern now is battery . The Fly Pretty conservative but I'm know my setup can get at least 17k to 18k without a problem. I just need to get some balls lol.
They shipped my product super fast. Just got it yesterday but maybe they are backed up with email ????
I removed the old antenna's and verified all connections. I haven't done a test in an open area with the original antenna's, but will see how this now works.
