OK I have to ask about the signal you guys keep talking about... is this the transmitter signal or the video signal??? Because I just got my new cables in and I just tried it again and same as before... I keep losing video feed at about 2000 feet?? The transmission signal is good no issues there... I might just have to go to a small mountain and try it up there. Because im not getting past 2300 or so feet!!!!... Is there a way to boost the video signal?? Is there a setting that im missing?? Im at a loss as to what to do??? I so want these terminators to work!!!

To windy for a long run only went 8 miles.
Db I love it.
MT how are you holding the controller I did not see where you stated if my hand , sling or tripod. This maybe a big difference. If you're not lining it up straight.

Lead me to think something is off w/ cables or app fw/ controller fw combo. Have you tried the app on a diff device
I just replaced the cables. I have not tried it on a diff device yet.. I am using the ipad pro right now as my device because it has a larger screen.
when your doing your long runs.. what does your flight path look like??? is there alot of trees or buildings in line of sight to your drone?? or are you up higher and have a clean line of sight
For me I'm very lucky and have zero items in my way. Out to about 3.5 miles. I'll fly at about 120 ft up. Which is low to some.

I try to fly from any spot thats slightly higher than the rest of the path! Even if you are in an open area ,if there is a tree line even a mile away and your elevation isnt higher the horizon will end your signal.
Are you flying from behind your house Jamie? It looks like your rc is pointed at your house in the HD link map...maybe combo of house and trees blocking signal when you get a certain distance??
OK must just be me then!! Im gonna go to the mnt tomorrow if its not raining and see how far I can get
Also to add I've gone 3.6 miles and turned around because of battery. I had already over ride the rth because of battery. I had full signal in both sides. Next good day when tempture drop down and wind is good.

Well yea concerning I just flow my p2 6600 ft with just stock antenna on the controller with a wind surfer on the controller. But like I said I have excellent place to fly.
So if your flying say 8 miles away and had a telescope could you see your drone?
