Hello everyone,
I am a new user of this forum (you could notice it very easily). I am a happy owner of Phantom 3 Professional, which I purchased 1 month ago. Since that time I have had already 5 hours of flight. I know it is not too much, but maybe in a near future, it will be more. I am living in a southern part of the UK, so the weather is not to bad, especially if we would like to compare with a middle part of the UK. Despite that, we had here a few rainy days which make me crazy, because I would like to improve my flying skill on a daily basis.
As a newbie, I have a lot of questions in regards to my phantom. It will be nice if someone on a forum will find enough time to answer to following questions:
1. Phantom waterproof
As I have mentioned before, I am living currently in a country where rain is a common thing. The question is – How Can I increase the level of phantom waterproofness? I saw in eBay some kind of silicon skin which I suppose could increase a waterproofness a little bit more. I am aware that I will not to transform phantom to some kind of ‘flying submarine’, but I am looking for solutions which help me to operate a drone during a sprinkling rain for not harm of this equipment.
2. Signal Quality.
Since I start my adventure with a Phantom, the biggest problem which I have is a weak signal. Regardless, if being in the countryside or outskirts of a town (where I am living). I couldn’t reach a better signal. The question is – How can I improve this? Do I have to change a network provider or change a radio frequency in my application? The third solution could be to buy another antenna to my phantom controller, but I do not know if its worth it or not?
Best choice according to multiple webpages will be
ARGtek DJI Phantom 3 Standard WiFi Signal Range Extender Six (6) Antenna
My network provider Lycamobile
I am using an application called DJI PILOT
Motorola 5S – based on android 7.0
