It says the app connects by Wi-Fi, doesn't mean the AC is connected by Wi-Fi, even for the video.

4 km over wifi without Lightbridge or OcuSync. Sounds very odd to me; pure wifi can't possibly do this.
Or maybe it has LB or Ocusync, but they just don't mention it?

Lower MHz wifi channels get better distance, but a lot of interference. If you pump up the power, you interfere with other devices. Higher channels, like 14.5, are clear with no interference and you get 5x the distance. But in the US and most other countries, used for uplink/downlink on GSAT satellites, (and now just licensed for LTE low power).

My P3S can easily go 1200ft without issues. Furthest I've taken it out in a good clear open area was 3650ft before it gave me the video transmission signal weak warning.I read it has a range of 1200 ft which is bloomin good wi-fi lol
And vision positioning which the standard doesn't have

Why it was short-lived I don't know
Maybe, because the P-3A, P-3Pro, and the P-4 came out so soon thereafter?
Sl loooks like me p34k ,,i presume diference is in camera ?? got same range
I find it interesting that all are jumping onto the WiFi band wagon ....
I read the specs page and all I got was that it uses ONLY 2.4Ghz ... which the Adv and Pro also used. It has no 5.8Ghz ... which again same as Adv and Pro.
Nowhere I could find on the specs page could I find reference to WiFi .... except :
"Phantom 3 SE is the latest addition to the Phantom 3 series, which is connected to DJI GO App via WiFi signals, "
We already know that WiFi for Go and Litchi - is the connection of App to RC .... the RC then connected to AC. It appears that DJI have elected to retain the Std form of App connection and not via cable as with Adv and Pro.
I cannot see Lightbridge being used on the SE unless DJI have massively reduced its costs ? Which to be honest is possible.
I am glad to see that the P3 battery can be used instead of a new battery design !
As I see it - DJI have decided to combine the Std, Adv and Pro into one machine. AND price it to kill of the likes of SIMTOO and so on. Personally - I like the idea and will be on starting blocks to pick one up as soon as they hit EU market.
I have no urge to pay out for a folding gimmick called Mavic !

GEARBEST , no picture of remote though , 4km super long-distance control range and amplified WiFi signal for 4km long image transmission
Got that already ... cheers ...
Its the statements of what it is that I am asking about as I find no reference other than WiFi HD for Video ...
Nigel
mmmmm Gearbest ...... and when do they expect to be selling them in Canada ? As I see the DJI China page says :
PRE-sale price ..... so maybe its not even on Chinese shelves yet ...
Nigel
we can only hope , I wonder if both RC and AC is amplified or just RC? I would love an amplified RC upgrade direct from DJI for the P3S .

Actually, the P3-4K came out after the other P3 variants.
Have you seen the mavic flying?
I recently had a demo flight and rather than a gimmick it's a very impressive aircraft.
It shows some great design and engineering.
