Having to much fun with my P2V+

[Mark The Droner]

That dirt video is painful to watch! Sorry for your loss Phxbird. That sucks.

Awright here's my latest set up.

Here I got the Maxx mounted to my controller with the original ITELITE on there too. It's stable! It doesn't shake or wobble or anything and I can walk around with it in my hand. I'm using a folding table here because I didn't have the tripod mount done yet. Note that the two antennas are on a perfect plane. Note the cookie sheets. I'm hoping they might add some range. My wife doesn't know I got 'em out there yet. Haha.

Here's a good shot at the hole between the trees I'm aiming through.

I got two and a half miles yesterday and turned around with four bars. And I got a little P2V!

Yep, I'm using the original ITELITE mount, all bent up, to hold the Maxx. The other end is bolted to the 3D bracket. It ain't pretty, but it works!

Of course, it would wobble without additional support. And just by coincidence, the other little steel piece from the original ITELITE bracket - the one with the wing nut - that little screw will screw right into the 3D bracket in the hole that already exists. And it happens to be the perfect position to sort of hold the Maxx like a claw. I put a little duct tape on there to keep it from scratching the Maxx until I figure something else out.

It's actually rock steady when I walk around with it.

when I came up on it I did not know if to laugh or cry.

Yes sir. And I didn't want the 2.4 Maxx so close to my 2.4 tablet which is why I stuck that one down low.

That doesn't mean I'm not going to experiment further with the 5.8 16 turn IBCrazy helical some more.

I think I would cry.

Thanks for your kind words.

This is my current setup on the drone and controller. I was able to make it 5207 ft to with.

I've now modified the controller and changed out the antenna and added a wind surfer to the antenna on the range extender.

See that this antenna was able to get me 5200ft with out a wind surfer and add the same antenna on to the controller I'm hoping this will insure a solid mile range if not more.

The cookie sheets are a new prototype wind surfer. and I was wondering where my tire chuck went too.

Let me clean up the drool from my keyboard. ok your twisting my arm I'm going to push them two together and Mail man said Wednesday I should have a package from Pro . See the sweet thing about having 3 controllers is I can change up. If I what to fly around ( check the neighbor ladies out) I can use this controller. If i want to fly over to drop something off for you I can switch out for the Desert Storm with the Db series howitzer.

 

[phxbird57]

Db here is a prototype That is being worked on.
