Range on phantom 3 new user .

You can use the s1 switch on remote to toggle re link to drone .

But it's just the button inside that says you need to press once its initiated
I think your right it has been a while.

Now that I'm back on track, and have watched your signal problems on the video.
I doubt same as you that re-linking is the answer.

Here is something you should consider.

Phantom 3 Standard range mod , let's do it together...

Terrible signal performance

and

Terrible signal performance

Dang your quick, I didn't have time to finish this post.

Dam boy that's alot of reading ! I've skimmed through alot ! . I think I need to go somewhere that's not * got a radio tower *near me lol.. maybe a beach or county area not populated . And actually test the range with no interfrence.

I'll try with samsung x10+ . And then iphone xr.

And post results .

In the meantime. Is there a way to tell if I'm in fcc mode or the other mode ? Apparently the fcc breaks the limit of drone . I've used magic power. Which I guess is the same thing ? But unsure if it's worked or not .

I really don't recall, when the Phantom Magnet caught it was actually working. Camera, props etc.

When the magnetism wore off it was in five separate pieces.


I just realized I got a project for you. :rolleyes: ;)

I have many details from my stories, the problem is that I don't make up the stories, I post the facts..

I didn't have time to test this invention.
My luck, it would have failed, and or crashed another.


The link below, has a description of what I going to try.
It Finally Happened!

This forum is really great, I guess because the mods care, and keep it in alignment!

4600' .87 miles, mine would do about that stock, then home made windsurfer would get about 1.25 miles in the same location.

So, have you fixed it?

"Did you ever do side bird mod for your p3?"
This must mean modification on the Phantom

I didn't do any mods, I was just happy when it worked. ;)

I had to send it for repair twice, both times where after SUCCESSFUL firmware update. :rolleyes:
It was still under warranty.

I started using Litchi for missions, the trees are tall around my house.

Just spotted your new thread.
Update Jan 2019 ] firmware 1.9.2 < 1.5.7

I didn't realize the picture was a video. :rolleyes:

When mine flailed the first time, there was no way to go backwards on firmware.
Sent it in

Then they added the option in DJI go, I did the firmware update, I could tell it had signal issues. Go back to DJI-GO, option was still there, but now nothing to choose from. Word was that version couldn't be down graded.

Sent it back in again, while it was gone, some posts started coming out, that DJI had told some one to change firmware, Do it with the SD card, same as the P3A/P3Ps.

Never again, Fly-it or Fry-it.
