Lol you did not read correctly. The mavic is the one with the issues. The P3P has a different antenna on it and I have outstanding range on it. And your post directly reflects what I am trying to say. Yours works in a city so if mine doesn't function the same in the mountains, I need to get...

You're mistaken. I castigate no one for being skeptical. Skeptics are what I want to see. It is the people that state so matter of fact that it won't work for anyone because it didn't work for them that I am trying to get to read more and learn more and not treat everything so black and white...

Haha excellent! I live just barely off Killington mountain in VT, and after reading through the designs and specs, I ended up going with a MaxxUAV panel antenna. And I installed it myself. I'm pretty used to working with antennas and electronics by now. :)

In our hobby, the subject of antenna modifications always comes up. Inevitably, there are a great deal of people who immediately jump on them with statements about how antenna mods are worthless and how you gain nothing. or 10%. Or whatever number they want to throw out this week. As an...

For me, Flying isn't about just flying. it's about capturing pictures in specific areas. And large fields are hard to come by in this area.

I've been having massive connection issues as well. I can't break 300' straight up before I start getting drops. Go any higher up or move around at all while I am up there, and I get "connection lost" messages and no video feed. Its infuriating. I've posted on this before and get a swell of...

Highly unlikely that is real news, considering the time Nasa has put into drones themselves. Exploring Drone Aerodynamics with Computers Media Invited to Demonstrations of NASA Drone Traffic Management NASA Conducts ‘Out of Sight’ Drone Tests in Nevada NASA Testing Technologies to Increase...

Vultures. Not aggressive, but very curious.

I feel insanely fortunate every time I see a post like this. I have never once been greeted with hostility. I own my own mechanic shop, and it is on the same property as my house. Every time I have my Mavic in the air when someone comes in, they have a million questions about it. They are dying...

RC Copters are still model aircraft. ;) These are some of mine...

I've been reading a lot of posts around here that have me wondering how everyone got their start to flying drones. Reading through the threads, it would seem like most of the people here had zero experience prior to flying GPS based drones. So, what's your story?

One comment and one question Comment: There seems to be a lot of discussion about an owners right to full control vs the company's control for the betterment of everyone. I will only say this... It comes out the same way every discussion does, whether its about rights to privacy, gun...

I can't speak for various ranges, but there are a lot of little grass strips (crop dusting) and one airport that is on the opposite side of a mountain from me that are within 5 miles of an airport. The mavic will warn me that I am within 5 miles, but will allow me to fly. If I am already...

I've had the same results with the same 2 birds. Pretty disappointing.

Mine never gets more than 100' away from me. I have a GoProfessional case that I carry with me whenever I leave my house. Charge it on the counter. Wife doesn't care... She flies too.
