I understand my rig is a wifi setup. However is there a cord out there and will it work any better or at all? Sorry, new to the site and only flying for 2-3 months.

The P3P has lightbridge, not WiFi, for the control link between the RC and the AC. You’ll want to use a standard USB to Lightning cable, the same cable you would to connect your iPhone to your computer for data sync. Beware of cheap charge-only cables, and don’t use an inferior cable between your RC and your iPhone.
I’ve found that CamBond makes a high quality braided short USB to Lightning cable that works very well for the P3P and P4P to connect the RC to an iPhone or iPad. Search Amazon, I’m sure you’ll find it.
Edit: here is the cable I use...

Thank you both. I'm looking for what Ryan stated. However, is there any advantage to have a cable or stick with WIFI? Sorry if dumb question
Very confusing question ...A P3 4K does not use a cable and is Wi-fi Only. A P3P does. It just so happens that both have a 4K camera. Which do you have?????

I agree with ianzone. Lightbridge is far superior to the WiFi connection for the RC to AC link. I wasn’t aware that the P3P had the ability to link via WiFi to the RC or AC.
That said, I’ve always flown my P3P with the USB connection to my RC. Same with my P4P. Except in very dense WiFi areas, it’s extremely rare for me to have any connection issues. Once or twice in the middle of the city (Phoenix) I’ve experienced connection issues, out of literally thousands of flights.
Having never even know that a WiFi link between the iPhone and RC or AC was a thing, I can’t honestly give you any real comparison.

I only use wifi. I've never plugged in. Was just asking if there was an advantage. Yes, this is a 2018 model P3P 4k. The RC doesn't even have a usb port. Just micro-usb. Since both the RC and AC have lightbridge loaded on both, I will stay wifi. Thank you all very much. Taking it to Ireland next week. Can't wait.
Chaos1212, I’m starting to think you’ve got a P3 4K, not a P3P.
The RC for the 4K has only a micro USB.
The RC for the P3P has a full USB connection, in addition to the micro:
Here is the proper model number for a P3P controller:

The P3 pro does not have wifi.
If you are using wifi, you have the Phantom 3-4K, not the Phantom 3 Pro

Not near it at this time. But this is exactly what I bought and I connect to it via the Go App and WIFI.

This where I confused aswell,,,vidio port is usb but you got a micro port,,that very odd
....you could just try a OTG adapter cable which you could use,,that's a mini to usb to mini cord,then just plug to micro usb on remote and to your device

Thank you... Will take a bunch! Thank you all for the help
Man you have bought a PH3 4K, not a PH3 Pro.
Your connection will always be through Wifi.
Do not spend on an HDMI module, you will only use it from paperweights.
This is the product that you have
