the maximum flight range is about 14 m/s and corresponds to 50 km/h. At the optimum cruising speed of "DJI Phantom 3 professional" of about 14 m/s the estimated flight time is 17 minutes and the maximum range is over 14 km away. long range drone DJI Phantom 3 professional

probably it has been already answered lot of times. So I bought a used phantom 3 adv. has almost 150 flights on it First flight and I get a compass error mid air the first few seconds. The error disappears as I move the aircraft. Did a compass & imu calibration but the problem is still appears...

Hi folks. In the past i have tried high gain 2.4ghz omni antennas and 5.8 patch antennas to increase my control range. The BEST and CHEAPEST solution to get over 3.5km control range is: Tp-link dual band antenna 6dbi with a diy reflector (aluminium foil mod). Woth this antenna previus i got...

Hi guys. What about this antenna? http://interline.pl/antennas/PANEL-14-5.25.8GHz Its a 5.8 panel 14dbi 30degrees vertical 30degrees horizontal. I can get it for about $30

Thanks a lot ! but why a new shell its going to crack right away ? Has anything to do with the Thread-locking fluid on the original screws ? I am very good on technical stuff. There is no problem for me to change the shell. But is it really necessary? Is it going to hold any better ? i have...

Hi everyone. Today (80 battery cycles since i bought it) i notice two cracks on the shell (on the motor mount). The first is big and vissible the second is inside the hole. This propably happened because i overtight the motor screws or because of vibrations... Do i need to replace the shell? In...

bump any thoughts how to get little better 5.8 control signal without making irreversible changes ?

hi guys. i use a stock phantom 5.8 antenna and a tp-link antenna on the transmitter. the phantom has no problem to go over 1800m but when i return home the 5.8 signal is not very stable (any thougts why thats happening?). my question is: is this kind of mod going to solve my problem ? or do i...

Hi. if you are intrested i can buy one of the batteries in a logic price. thanks

i need an extra 0.5-1km (1500ft-3500ft) of controller distance. my thoughts are for a >7dbi 5.8ghz antenna. but which one? i cant seem to find any branded... with the stock i get about 1500m(5000ft)-2000m(6500ft) with the tp-ling 5dbi dual band i get 2000m(6500ft)-2500m(8000ft)

I just bought also a TK102B for $17. it seems to have a fair price for its capabilities. I am thinking to upgrade my controller antenna. now I have a dualband 5dbi tp-link antenna. I am thinking to buy one of these Chinese 11dbi directional for $7 is this Chinese antenna good or is there any...

Which gps tracker you suggest to buy? Cheap and lightweight Thanks

Hi. Thanks for your response. By "tracker" you mean something like flytrex 3g ? I will buy one in the near future but its a litle bit expensive for my whole setup

Hi all of you reading this. My thoughts was to build a high range setup with cheap components and without making any irreversible changes to my phantom/controller/range extender. In that way i can get my phantom back to stock if i need to sell it. Also i want the high range components to be as...
