With corrective lenses, I have 20/20 vision. I don't think I can see my Phantom 3 Pro out more than 3/4 of a mile. VLS is the law! It takes a lot more skill to fly accurately in confined spaces and have the right camera setting to get the best shots than to simply fly straight out a long way!Hello,
I was looking into options to increase the range of my Phantom Pro 4 v2 and ive come across 2 options.
1 - non invasive way to add a windsurfer slide on to the existing controller antennas.
2 - add some hardware to the controller - need to open it up and more expensive.
If tried option 1 - bought a cheap one on amazon that was recommended
link: Amazon.com: Ultimaxx Copper Parabolic Antenna Signal Range Booster for DJI Phantom 4, P4 pro, P4 Advanced, Phantom 3 Pro, Advanced and 4K Inspire 1 Controller: Toys & Games
It did increase it but not significantly enough for me to justify having this thing on the controller.
Im more curious if anyone has done option 2 and added some new antennas on the controller?
Im very new to these drones and most the mods im seeing are for previous models. even the phantom 4 ones im seeing are making me nervous as i have the 2.0 and i dont know if the controller is different - i know it has a new method to communicate with the dji done then previous models and idk if needs some specific type of antennas.
one that i found for like $180 is this one:
Has anyone here successfully modified the controller of the phantom pro 4 v2 ?
Could you share your overall experience with this and how much improvement you are seeing? also the item you bought price you paid?
Thanks

I modified my P4P controller with a black 4Hawks Raptor SR antenna. It's not an over-bearing size like the XR or some other amplifiers like other brands, it's only a little larger than the controller and very light. This was my first experience opening and modifying the controller, but it was easy enough. Make sure you have the right tools, the patience and watch plenty of videos if you go down this route, otherwise there are hobbyists that could do it for you. It definately goes a lot further in an open space...but I've yet to put it through its paces, so to speak, since legally you are supposed to fly LOS and all my joy flights or jobs are over a short distance.
