Dbs mod on my P4

oblivie · Mar 14, 2016

Will have the Dbs mod done, as of all my previous phantoms, done asap.... Hopefully by the end of the week... With 45 mph and 28 mins battery life upgrades... 6 miles should be easy[emoji15][emoji5][emoji5][emoji12]

Yeah he just released the video yesterday:

...

Shoot - now I want to get a P4 just so I can do the mod

I love the DBS mod on my P3P. I highly recommend it.

Test range before the mod to as it has increased transmitting power from the remote.

This the website Akaskaphantom
DBS Mods – Long Range Antenna Mods for UAV FPV Flight

And yes confirmed ... The p4 range has increased....

I doubt you are going to get 28 minutes at full Sport mode speed...

Mark The Droner · Mar 14, 2016

There's a post/info somewhere that says sport mode is 18 mins.

Can someone do a Windsurfer before test and a after DBS test? Curious to see what the difference is.

The reason I ask is because I have a Windsurfer I used on my P3 remote and then upgraded to the ITELITE DBS-02 and did not notice any significant difference in range or penetration.

[emoji848]I'm really surprised to hear that

oblivie · Mar 14, 2016

What range did u get?

NoOne · Mar 14, 2016

5800 feet in this area in a suburb. Got half that without either windsurfer or dbs.

oblivie · Mar 14, 2016

Well that is to be expected due to all the power lines and cables.... Hers My 4 mile countryside with full HD and video signal and the same 3 miles along the Ft Laudrrdale coast

Dbs mods all the way!!!!

Just watched the installation video on their site. Holy crap is that complicated. I'll be too scared to even try it.

Airmo · Mar 16, 2016

I installed it on my P3 controller, and it was fairly easy. Not complicated at all if you know your way around electronics.
Though the iFixit toolkit is a necessity for this mod.
I will definitely be installing this setup on my P4 controller.

From what we have heard so far, you may not need to. Supposedly, the P3 controller links to the P4 with full functionality.

My stock P3A and stock controller got 4 miles out and 4 miles back. Just sayin stock is capable of that. I added the DBS Mod anyway afterwards. But I probably won't add any modded antenna to the P4. At this point the battery is pretty much the limit.

That P4 battery limit is already in the works to be remedied!
