Yeah looking to do long distance flightsWhat do you plan on doing? Long distance flights. I have the dbs panel and boosters and a 5.8 helical. Check out horizon fpv antennas.. they have a new one coming out soon for our standards and should be better than the small dbs panel...but it all depends on what you want to. There are more options now for the standard
I'm interested in getting more range, too.
I read through the first 10 or so pages of Dirtybum's thread, but it's pretty sophisticated territory I'm not sure I want to get into. I'm interested in keeping my remote somewhat compact as well.
Right now my max distance is 1200 feet, and max altitude is just over 1000 feet. I'd love to get my distance to 5000 feet, but nothing crazy. Nothing close to Dirtybum's 40,000
I've wondered if it'd be better to watch for a Phantom 3 Advanced remote in the classifieds or go with the DBS Standard.
Can you pls post a photo of your rc.. thanks broI have the dbs panel and boosters and a 5.8 helical.
What's your range?Here you go
Sure just go on eBay and search for rg402 sma's cables...there will be a bunch. Your going to need SMA Male for the antenna side and RP-SMA Male for the rc side... I would get the right angle connectors since the blue rg402 cable is pretty stiff. Hey post some results before and after the DBS mod!!!Thanks, guys. I ordered the DBS.
@Procharged97, the blue cables are rad. Can you point me to where I can find some?
It is nice out here but sucks for distance flying!! LolHoly cow....forget line of sight! lol Looks like an awesome place to live.

I have the blue cables as well but I would recommend getting different ones that aren't so stiff. They have some better ones that are softer and bend better. I found them after I got the blue ones and i spent alot of money on them and didn't want them to go to waste. Long story but I'll search around to find a link later.Thanks, guys. I ordered the DBS.
