Hey everybody, first time posting and just want to say I'm loving the community so far, great information and people on here [emoji1]
I'm looking at picking up one of the new phantom 3 4Ks and am interested in adding a range modification to it. I don't need extreme range on it but want to make sure to have as much as possible. I know going with one of the light bridge enabled models would be best, but when it comes down to price, I have to decide between light bridge or a 4K camera and being into film making, 4K wins out.
All that being said, does anybody know which ItElite DBS range mod would work for the 4K? The controller looks like the one for the P3A and P3P (sans the light bridge of course), but since it is wifi enabled, would I need to get the range mod for the standard control?
From the reading I've been doing on the forum, it sounds like the only difference between the range mod for the P3P/P3A and the P3S is the length of some of the cables and mounting hardware, ya? Others than that, the mods are the same?
Really appreciate any feedback!!!

For now, I think it should. The only reason I'd really need a higher resolution live view is if I was having to focus manually, but that's a non issue.The Phantom 3 4k only has 480p live view, is that going to be good enough for your to frame your shots?
Thanks for posting! Going to check it out right now.DBS just posted this on his Youtube channel.

OK I just came across this little bit of help! I found it here! Looks like its what we need to help make things happen easier. A sure bet for the P3 STD but Im wondering if it can also be applied to the 4K? I am quite sure the antennas etc will work. Just not sure if the internal wires will reach. It looks to me like they will if done exactly like the picture. Well guys take a look and tell me what you think? Phantom 3 Standard solution – DBS Mods
Be sure to click on the links on the page where you buy it. It shows what is included in this modified kit with the extras we need.
I also like the DBS style too. The other one with the boobs style antenna will get damaged with handling. I agree. When I modify mine I will get a small case that is just for my controller because I dont want to hassle with taking it apart every time. I hope that the full dedicated kit comes out soon for the 4K from DBS as I want to get one!I'm pretty sure the kit he comes out with will have the proper cables and a way to connect it to your style TX Rambo .
The one for the Standard won't get it . Not sure just what he has in that video but he will come out with something .
Is a good antenna as are several more . I'm parcel to this one as it's more compact .
I dont think the prices will drop as it is a hot item. I think it was just Drone World's opinion and choice not to sell the 4K. After all look at their website DJI Phantom 3 Pro/Adv Kits Bundle (In Stock & Free Ship) | Inspire 1 (Drone World) all they want to do is sell you the world with all of these kits! Sure sell a kit and sell more merchandise! Its sell sell sell! Now thats great for the rich and the 1 percent. But most of us are on a budget. And I think if you have a STD with a range mod you have done well in saving money! I think that a move to a 4K would only be justified if you were doing commercial video or just wanted to sell the old and get the better controller with the wheels and buttons for the camera. But if you are a first time buyer a 4K with a range mod makes a lot of sense as it will still be less than a Pro and save you a lot of cash and still do the same thing!Strange they said that Rambo . Maybe they about to drop the price's again like they did on the Standard . I will have one when they do !
Yea the DBS is easier to leave on and I have the other on my P2 .
I am redoing it to the set-up just like I have on my Standard . It works for me .
I want one to mod as it's 27dbi compared to 19 dbi . I wanna see what it will do plus the better TX as far as the camera buttons and the better gimbal .I dont think the prices will drop as it is a hot item.

Hey the prices on 4K TVs are way down. I saw one for $500 the other day. I put my sd card in a usb adapter and watch my videos right on the TV set. And yes you do get that wow effect.I want one to mod as it's 27dbi compared to 19 dbi . I wanna see what it will do plus the better TX as far as the camera buttons and the better gimbal .
