So I just got my P3S back. I was flying a few weeks back and it just disconnected and fell out of the sky. Screen went black and white, I have no clue how or why but it did. Broke the camera off, battery was dented up, and parts were rattling around inside. Anyway, I went through the procedure to send it back to DJI with pictures, explanation, ect. and it was fixed free of charge. I'm back up in the air, and would like some more range. What is a good reliable extender? I've looked at the itelite mod on dbsmods website, thoughts? Any input would be appreciated.
P3S range...

dbs mod is the best only way to go I have argtek also and dbs mod there is no comparison dbs blows away argtek
+1 on the DBS for the Standard. Dont waste your money on the ARGTEK, i used one time then took it off and put the DBS panel on. You can add amps too when your ready for more!! And when thats not enough you can get a stronger 5.8 panel and pair it with the Maxxrange or Terminator....then boost that!!!! And when its still not enough you can go for the Terminator Extreme (add 5.8 panel)...

Wow, you got some quick answers there.
Welcome to the forum!
I tried the DIY Windsurfer which is just your remote TX signal. Worked good.
I always run out of battery power due to wind, just running stock.

+1 on the DBS mod, haven't got one yet but it's on my wish list after much reading. Have that concern myself on the install, being careful and not screwing anything up, like breaking a connection on the board.

While DBS its really a better DIRECTIONAL antenna , ARGtek its not that bad for the price. I have both and if you are looking for 2 or 3 KM in range there is no reason to waste your money, ARGtek will work just fine.
BUT if you have the extra bucks go right ahead and buy the DBS.
Cheers and welcome mate.

+1 on the DBS also. Much better than stock. But @Valkster is correct. Take your time with installation, especially taking off and putting on the little wire clip thingy's. (Senior moment.....I can't think of what they are called to save my butt..!, somebody fill in the blank for me [emoji31])

Thanks for the quick responses. I am a little hesitant to do any physical modifications, but sounds like its worth it.

When I did mine I broke one of the connectors on the video side.

U.fl, I broke one off also but I bought a new one and found someone to re-solder it for me.

Dbs mod all day. That thing is sweet. I got 2.2 miles over water the other day. Just be careful when you install it. I messed up when installing it by chipping off a gold shield. Sent it back to dji for repair and they were gonna charge me $100 for the repair which is the same price as a new rc.
