Ok just got back. Hit nearly a mile max in a residential setting...Just finished the install. Gonna take her out after dinner.
Is that just the mod on the controller or the bird as well?Ok just got back. Hit nearly a mile max in a residential setting...
1) this thing is pretty directional. I found best results are almost perpendicular to the ground @ 500ft agl
2) get an app like Vision Plus https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aryuthere.visionplus so the telemetry (including WiFi strength) updates quickly and often. Constant feedback was crucial in determining proper antenna angle
3) Take your first flight in the dark. This antenna has some distance on it, I can't imagine LOS during the day and the LEDs in the dark helped tremendously.
4) Installation wise, it was simple but like DBS says the hex screes on the extender are crap. I stripped 2 of them being careful. If you strip them, use a flat head slightly larger than the hex and a hammer to create a flat groove over the top, then unscrew it lime its a flat head screw. Cheap metal, so it shouldn't take more than 1 hit with the hammer. PM me if u don't get it.
All in all, pretty impressed. Will try fpv quality settings tomorrow if I have time.

Controller only.Is that just the mod on the controller or the bird as well?
Yeah check the screen shot. One is controller signal strength, other is WiFi signal strength. And you can boost WiFi as well (indicated by the + icon over the WiFi signal). Best 3rd party app on the market IMO.bbfpv on that app you mentioned, is there any indication on the top that shows you signal strength for the controller, like it has for the wifi signal strength, then you can perhaps see when "going home" is about to be instigated ?
The one on the right next to the "going home" status is the tx signal, the next is WiFi signal. It was coming home because I lost WiFi signal.ok, but it says "going home" and it looks like your controller signal strength is very strong? I can see the other one with poor signal strength or am I confusing the two?
ok, or maybe you decided to instigate "go home" even though controller strength was excellent?
Best out there IMO.ok looks like a good app

@DBS or anyone else that knows . Getting this antenna and need to know this . I have the RPG so my antenna panels have been removed from the camera and was using the birdside FPVLR'S. Well not sure just what type antennas to order for the bird to hang from my hangers on top of the skids ? Have looked at the Fatshark ones and others but not to swift on what to get . I will most likely be putting my 5.8 on the outside also .
Just don't want to have to try a box full to find the right set up
Just the rubber ducky looking ones or the one's with the dome or what ?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thanks
I installed the Itelite antenna.... My results are good. I would say, my distance has improved 50% (so many variables - upgraded remote, booster app, etc). I am happy but would like a bit more ! What would be the next step? Relocating the antennas to the outside (a la the $10 mod)? New 2.4 and 5.8 GHz antennas on the bird side ( a la FPVLR)?
Any help is appreciated!

Thanks DBS and looked at some of those last nite . The one's I saw were 5.8 . Now this is were I get lost . I did not see any that were 2.4, does it matter ??
Will those work for both ? Like just hang 4 of them like I had the others .
Sorry I just am not real savvy on what's right with antennas as I just got the kit and installed it .
Another question ..what dbi to get ? I don't want no amps and see no need in getting more antenna than I need ...and I hope I am asking this right Thanks
