Phantom 3 Standard Tip #4 | ARGtek Range Extender | Install, Flight Tests, and Review

[@wesleywilson6132]

The ARGtek antenna range extender kit has helped me so much with my range on my Phantom 3 Standard. Before I installed my range extender I could only fly to an altitude of 450 to 500 ft. After installing the range extender I got my phantom to a height of 1,236 ft and could have gone farther. I also flew 1,352 ft in distance away from me and could have gone farther. Your video was very helpful overall, especially when I was installing my kit. Thanks a lot.

[@wulfdean]

ive seen plenty of other how clips on youtube......yours are more comprehensive and cover the little bits and pieces that others don't. thx buddy keep up the great work

[@DGMaxWax]

+Wülf Dean Thanks!

[@paulfowler2502]

Thank you for this content. I just bought a Phantom 3 refurbished! I may actually get the argtek range extender because of this video!!!

[@LifeofAedan]

Same! for both!

[@mikesmith8427]

After following your other tutorial to fit the tablet holder I decided to do this upgrade, followed it step by step and yet again went smoothly many thanks from the UK once again.

[@DGMaxWax]

+Mike Smith thanks Mike! Glad I could help.

[@mikesmith8427]

I cannot find and 10dbi 5.8ghz Omni antennas here in the UK what do you think the result would be if I replaced the 2 flat panels with 2.4ghz 10dbi ones ??

[@DGMaxWax]

+Mike Smith go look in my Phantom tips and tricks playlist. I have several videos about exactly what you're talking about. In short, it's my favorite way to do it

[@mikesmith8427]

JTO2GO I've watched all your videos I cannot recollect you mentioning what ghz antenna you used when you replaced your flat panels but will check again, thanks

[@DGMaxWax]

+Mike Smith 2.4ghz

[@markhalton2584]

Fitted mine, and I’m useless at this sort of thing, but it was easy enough. Results, well I normally get about 500m max, today I got 1300m then lost contact. Return to home worked a treat though. I used paddles on the sides and stick in the middle. I did find that it’s quite direction, so I’m going to try with all three stick antennas next. Very pleased so far.

[@1961BobbyBoy]

Just fitted the Argtek kit this afternoon and followed your video and how to do it......great instructions. spot on so thanks!

[@CoyoteDeadShot]

Man I'm so excited! Just ordered mine today. I actually got 5,300 feet with the stock antenna so if I get over 7,000 I'll be impressed I'll upload the video and let you know! Thanks for the video!

[@DGMaxWax]

+TX Bassin Awesome man! Yea let me know!

[@Yngwiejmalmsteen08]

Wow you got 5300 feet with a standard antenna?

[@userhandle3378]

Super late, but very interesting video. Makes me want to get some really strong antennas to test with. Anyone seen Samy Kamkar demonstrate what he calls, Skyjack? Dude uses kali tools(aircrack-ng) a raspberry pie, and an antenna capable of packet injection to fly his drone near yours and then send deauth commands to your wifi network effectively removing your control from the device and then issuing commands to the newly hacked drone to follow the master drone home. Pretty interesting stuff if you ask me. Samy is the guy who broke myspace back in 2005. Thanks again for the content, definitely prefer learning from others rather than my own mistakes!

[@rubyv4s]

man u can do a review. detailed, took ur time to explain and even had numbers to show performance upgrade, great, I'm going to get myself one right now. thanks for taking the time to do this.

[@DGMaxWax]

+Rube Velazquez Well thank you, glad to be able to help all of you guys.

[@rubyv4s]

is this kit 200$? i found it on amazon for 211 cnd $. thats crazy expansive for antenna.

[@DGMaxWax]

+Rube Velazquez No it should be about $70 USD

[@DGMaxWax]

IF YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE PERFORMANCE YOU WANT This kit still works great for me, make sure you check your connections on the circuit board, the antenna wires can be hard to get on and sometimes aren't fully connected. You should be able to tug on them firmly without them coming off. Another thing to check is to make sure you're using the two matching flat panels or tall antennas on the outside and not two mis-matched ones. 2.4ghz on outside, and 5.8ghz in the middle. If none of that works it could be location specific, things like heavy wifi traffic or nearby cellphone towers could interfere with your signal. Try a different location.

[@TheNerdyGame1589]

Sorry to bother you but i have a little question, Which App are you running to fly the standard, Becuase mine certainly doesnt look like that, It almost looks like the dji go 4.0 app but i didnt think that was compatible with the p3s

[@jake78441]

Aye thanks im from peoria illinois and i found your channel!

[@DGMaxWax]

+Connor Michael Awesome!

[@rdomingo21]

very clear and informative video!! :D Thanks, I have a question. is it a must? that I Should relink the RC after the procedure?

[@davevachon9487]

id like to know that as well lol

[@irishyamaha]

excellent video, as a newb to the dgi drone world I appreciate your time making this

[@DGMaxWax]

+Waylon Backer thanks waylon

[@dronegirl2024]

I got this antenna kit after watching this vid as shows how easy to fit,I marked my wires as well and i found a little improvement over long range but as i dont fly long distance but wanted little vid drop out which this made a big diffrence to my dji std 3.... thanks for this vid it helped me..

[@Sicilian504]

Thank you SO much for making this. I just received my Phantom 3 Standard a few days ago and I really like it, but the range absolutely sucks in my area because of the trees and buildings in the New Orleans area. I had been looking at this ARGtek antenna for a day or two, but also stumbled upon that copper antenna just today on Amazon. I figured I might as well go with the copper one since it was so much cheaper than the ARGtek antenna, but I was looking around for a video that compares the stock, copper, and ARGtek options and this was the only one, or at least the first one I found that compared all 3 of them. I decided to go with the ARGtek antenna to see what it can do for me. Thanks for the great video Josh.

[@zipman72bigbudoo56]

That's some crazy distance you get their mate , I think I need to upgrade to the Argtek as well !

[@mcolasante91]

I just started flying a couple of weeks ago your videos and product reviews have been a big help. Thanks man

[@JackalGod]

Thanks for putting this together. Came in very handy since I purchased that extender and it arrived today. Great tips on how to install it correctly and it works amazingly. I appreciate your video on this. Thanks man!

[@DGMaxWax]

+Kelly Beem You're welcome!

[@markhaleston1607]

Good clear instruction. I needed just a little more reach so I'm getting the kit and using 10 DBI. Even with the P3 standard we get great results with the camera clarity and ease of operation. Thanks again

[@garylee6959]

Nice video and information. I was shocked when I saw you fly over my old neighborhood. I lived on Elmhurst drive. Still in the area. Loved the shot of the old Powley homestead.

[@jozefcenscak5159]

Hi, I'm looking now to buy Phantom 3 Standard and I'm trying now to catch all possible experiencess from other people. Your video is very interesting and for sure it will be one possibility how to extend the usage of this drone. Thanks a lot and wish you all the best! Jozef

[@DGMaxWax]

+Jozef Čenščák thanks! And best of luck?

[@regfeener]

Good job young man.. In depth and you have the right voice for this.. Too many times we have good video with someone's annoying voice..I subbed as well..

[@DGMaxWax]

+Reg Feener Thanks Reg... I really appreciate that!

[@charlesmuchmore1402]

Masterful explanation and photography to explain the installation.

[@DGMaxWax]

+Charles Muchmore Thanks you

[@michaellandowski995]

I installed the same kit on my P3S a few weeks ago. I did get some improvement in range but not as much as I was hoping for. With the stock antennas my longest flight was 2700 feet,with a wind surfer added I got out to 3200 feet. The ARGTEC mod has given me 4400 feet using all 3 flat panels. But just like you said thy are very sensitive on direction. I sometimes louse signal at under 1500 feet.

[@DGMaxWax]

+michael landowski the biggest thing I've found that interferes with the these is any large object like trees or buildings. I'm still glad I have it though.

[@offroaddreams4x4ed]

Love your videos I have made the Inspire mount upgrade and the ARGtek extender kit, your videos were great help thanks!

[@DGMaxWax]

+offroaddreams4x4ed Thanks! I'm glad you appreciate it!

[@mickeyg.c.1654]

very informative. Very professional. presented very clearly as well reminds me of the old radio amateurs of my day

[@DGMaxWax]

+Mickey G.C. Hat may be the best compliment I've ever gotten! Thanks man!

[@Campervanlifeforever]

Not being a show off lol but I got 8000ft today with skyreat and 27dbm fcc so would this antenna get a greater distance than that ?

[@drakepowell3998]

Just installed Argtek range extender and got 10,500 feet. It's amazing how it works.

[@DGMaxWax]

+Drake Powell Glad to hear it :)

[@lucaevano]

Just fitted mine, Freaking love it!

[@buddyramsey4226]

thanks for the demo ,i ordered the ARGtek and will install when it comes,,,,

[@FamilyFunIRL]

Great video! Do you think going this route is better than getting a Phantom 3 Professional?

[@DGMaxWax]

+David Battle It depends on your budget really. Obviously the professional is a higher caliper drone all around but also more expensive.

[@ianrice1778]

Nice video man!!! I fly fpv racing drones and have a phantom. I notice when I fly in the humidity I get more break up in my fpv goggles then on days with no humidity so I know that it had some kind of affect.

[@phantomse3jockey392]

quick note if the white cable is the longest its a P3 standard kit and if the black cable is longer it's the P3 SE kit.

[@davidalan2494]

Great video. You're a very humble person. Thank-you for the video. I'm going to buy through your link but create my own once I review.

[@DGMaxWax]

+David Alan I appreciate the support and good luck with your channel I wish you nothing but the best.

[@mrbtwice]

east Peoria IL? if so you have any good spots around there to get some clips/pics? I just got a p3s and I'm looking for some cool places

[@amateurtech736]

Nice review I'm thinking of purchasing one myself as I do fly in some strong interference areas.

[@DGMaxWax]

+BBJ gamez its worth it in my opinion

[@Fentoness]

WOW, no joke i took the drone out for a test run in an area that i know has zero radio interference and a clear path to fly the drone, its in NY and is called camp Koinonia, anyway i got a whopping 13,697 feet and i still had clear telemetry but the signal on the remote was choppy. Im sure if i tinkered with the antenna i could have gotten more distance, but i was so pleased with it that i didnt even bother to do that. oh btw i also tested in in a congested area, NYC, and only could get a range of 2,174 feet before instantly losing all signal. so i guess it greatly depends on where you fly at. ive tested the stock antenna in both of theses places and my maximum range was only 2,819 feet, soo obviously these antennas work :) there might be a video of the flight coming up on my channel, maybe you could take a look

[@DGMaxWax]

+Fenton ess awesome man! That tops my best distance for sure. But yes I now live in philly and don't get great distance even with the antennas.

[@Fentoness]

yeah, here in NYC it doesn't make any difference compared to the stock antenna, But if i go to the beach or park, then the antennas really shine :)

[@Rusted_Link]

Good to hear. I'm flying mine in a neighborhood with a lot of wifi and cell phone and can't get over 2000. Guess I'll head out into the country.

[@a420naaron2]

Good video bro... I just got mine yesterday. Only tested with the long antenna so far but if you're gonna get one get this one with the 4 antenna option. There's a lot on ebay that only have the 3 & don't have the 3rd flat panel. also there's some on ebay that only have the 2 flat ones to use with ur factory antenna. I'll post link of US seller I got it from

[@DGMaxWax]

+Aaron Mattheu I got the one that has all 4

[@YoureBoring]

Thanks for the video dude! I just installed this on my PS3 Standard, cant wait to try it out

[@holysnikees98]

Just bought this and excited to install it

[@shafilkhan93]

This answered all my questions. Thanks so much for sharing this man

[@Naqasya_4321]

its awesome.. thumbs up for you and i want more videos about p3 standard. cheaper from p4 and the new mavic but the long range from argtek its pretty good.👍👍👍👌👌😃😃😃

[@jeremyboyce1537]

Hi Josh ,first time I am seeing you ,very knowlegeable my Friend ,great stuff ,keep it up ,nice .

[@BPMC1988]

Just a tip, for those not living in US it’s worth using some conversion after giving us foot range.

[@dougdill4484]

I just installed this upgrade with your preferred setup and I did not get any increase in range. I was so excited thinking I would get at least 2000 feet. My normal range is about 1000 feet. I live in central Va. in a very rural area. Just thought I would share there is no guarantee that you will get an increase in range .

[@DGMaxWax]

+Doug Dill Hey Doug, I would double check your connections on the circuit board. That's usually where the problem lies. The connectors can be tricky.

[@scraigfamily]

I have the same issue. I hoped to greatly increase my range and it still lose my signal at about 1000 feet. I think my connections were tight and I hot glued them to keep them tight. I am looking for a solution to my issue. At this point, I just have more hardware to pack into my case with no improvement to my range.

[@adam_g.]

I wish you would of showed us what adjustments you did during the flight! Great video though! Definitely got a new Subscriber!

[@DGMaxWax]

+ADAM GROSS Hey thanks man! Yea I'm sorry, it's tough to do that without a cameraman. But I'm always trying to improve the quality of my content.

[@ooberwoot]

JTO2GO can you hit us up with a link to the tablet clip?

[@DGMaxWax]

+ooberwoot Sure, its linked in the description of this video where I show how to install it kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4TVpaiLjKaiiM0

[@masonreimert]

Great Video, Thinking of buying one for my phantom.

[@brianomalley4370]

I k ow you won't believe me. But, with my stock antenna I got my P3 standard 10,000 feet (distance, not height). It was in an area with a lake in Utah. Maybe it helped that it was scarcely populated.

[@upperechelon3456]

Great video JTO2GO. Hmmm. That battery looks like an 18650 Li-on if i'm not mistaken. Interesting.

[@nasa1man]

How did you get the DJI App to record into your video to show the height and distance telemetry

[@DGMaxWax]

+Ben Franklin it's a screen recording overplayed over the footage

[@mace1141]

Thanks so much! good video answered all my Questions! I have a job coming up that i need this distance!

[@America_Naiznanku]

After this video i bought standart to save money

[@DGMaxWax]

+Alex Fedorenko It is really the. Eat beginner drone in my opinion. And more than 85% as good as a Phantom 3 Pro.

[@philkyle8919]

the range extender on the 10dbi antenna be interesting to see

[@gilsanders8448]

I wonder if you spliced the Argtek fpv and the stock fpv wires together would that improve connection. ☺

[@TentFever]

Where you at in Illinois, I be in Alton Illinois, Right on the Mississippi about 28 miles away from the St Louis Arch. I Bought the Phantom 4 Standard having a bit of problems after the last Firmware update but i'll get it ironed out. Love to go droning if we are close enough.

[@DGMaxWax]

+Normie Norm I'm in Peoria, looks like we're about 2.5 hours away unfortunately.

[@TentFever]

JTO2GO Well not to far though. I have some friends up in Bloomington/Normal area. Well may the Drone be with you

[@DGMaxWax]

+Normie Norm Haha you too man

[@assistant363]

What are you doing with the original grey and black wires? Just leaving them lose? Great vid and thanks in advance

[@mentuemhet]

Dude, there's another world to this hobby where you can fly for miles, and miles, and miles. I use a Hitec radio with a UHF system on it. I've gone 7 miles out, but had to come back. However, it's analog video, so the video is not HD. But, if you want distance, that's the way to go.

[@DGMaxWax]

+mentuemhet I imagine that's pretty awesome. I was just having some fun pushing the limits of what I have

[@mentuemhet]

:)

[@timmoxey5796]

Nice job with the sound, thanks

[@johnsonrobins8826]

is it just me or am I the only one too scared to do this to my remote controller

[@fabarangan]

You're not the only one.

[@MaxfieldCustoms]

From one drone pilot to another, I appreciate the in depth look at these instruments. I myself have the upgraded range extenders and find them unstable depending on the conditions. I have 3 tall antennas (1x 5G & 2x 2.4G), as well as 3 flat panel antennas (2x 7dbi & 1x 6dbi). I am curious to hear what you think would work best for me? I also saw the range amplifier you had, and immediately went to the recycling bin to grab some craft beer cans (cool cans) to make my own amplifiers. I subscribed and liked the video as well. Thanks again.

[@KarlisBalodis]

Tnx. Great comprising. Nice you made % and actual numbers of distance. Downside- try to make a bit more fluent with speech. It will keep your viewer on a hook. But overall great content. TNX!!

[@DGMaxWax]

+Kārlis Balodis thank you I appreciate the compliment and recommendation

[@DJRipGroove99]

I get about 1300ft with my ARGtek before I loose both RC and video signal, connections are right (also hot glue). I'm going to have to buy the DBS kit and see if that's any better.

[@telephony]

I'm having a devil of a time getting the antenna wires plugged into those damn near microscopic receptacles in the radio. Been at it for close to an hour now and I still don't have a single one of those buggers plugged in. :-( (Edit, about half an hour later) I finally got those three antenna wires plugged in, so I "closed up" (as a surgeon might say when he's finished) and I'll take 'er for a spin later this evening when it has cooled off to at least 100°F (37.8°). :-)

[@Mike-fv9yl]

Great video. As of this video, what firmware version was your Phantom 3 Standard running?

[@DGMaxWax]

+Mike Brz I don't remember I'm sorry

[@Timjhd]

Great Job! Thanks for all the tips...

[@DGMaxWax]

+Timjhd You're Welcome!

[@liamboyle1272]

Is it possible to get a larger antenna on the drone itself? The range would be incredible with that.

[@johnnenni7134]

THE TIP ALL TECHS SHOULD KNOW ..... RECORD ALL REPAIRS!!! .... helps others learn later ... start a youtube channel .... or whatever ... lol ... But nice vid ... I started recording all my computer builds as soon as I had like a 2MP CAM as a kid because I have a great long term memory but can't remember what I had for dinner ....

[@Etheridge247]

Great tutorial... very informative.

[@DGMaxWax]

+Robert Etheridge Thanks man

[@bernyecheverria]

Hey man! awesome review, i actually just bought the range extender after watching this. How do you feel it affects the height? I really like this style of review.

[@MrSkyTroxx]

good work! Thanks for the Video... got mine today.

[@kmb72856]

Hello. I have the Argtek range extender and really like it. What are your thoughts on the DBS antenna mod? I read that it has better range. it will install on the Argtek antenna mount.

[@getsome122]

I'm awaiting the arrival of my phantom 3 and enjoying your videos. what app are you using on your tablet? there are many options I'm trying to narrow down the ones to try.

[@DGMaxWax]

+Henry Krull Flight app? I use DJI Go

[@getsome122]

Yeah the one with the overlay showing the Alt and speed and distance. I already downloaded dji go but saw others available and couldn't decide if I should add some more to mess with. That one looks link it'll be fine. Thanks. Keep up the vids. I'm learning about my drone before it even gets here from them.

[@DGMaxWax]

+Henry Krull the only other one I've used is the litchi App and only a handful of times. I didn't like it as much.

[@getsome122]

Cool. Thanks man

[@imovideocanal]

Hi! Nice review Josh. This kid work in Phantom 3 SE?

[@tonymcclendon-hobbytime7727]

Awesome. Thank for the knowledge and test

[@mikeymike3449]

Great video! Just bought one

[@gilsanders8448]

Hmmm... I wonder what range I'd get if I widened the parabolic antenna hole wide enough to slide over omni directional antenna. ☺

[@j.t.higdon7306]

I can't get any more than 1640ft out of my ps3 standard stock antenna? I just installed the argtek kit last night so I'm anxious to test it. But how are you getting over 4k ft with the stock antenna? Appreciate all the vids too! Subscribed brother!

[@GabrielDeNapoli]

Excelente video! Es de mucha ayuda.. Muchas Gracias!

[@Atv821]

I know it sounds crazy, but after trying the ARGtek antenna, DBSmod antenna, and the factory antenna on my P3S over the course of about a year, the factory antenna's perform the best for me. I dont know why/how, but with ARGtek and DBSmod, I get reliable signal only to about 800 meters, 1200 meters was my record with either of these antennas. With the factory antennas paired with a parabolic reflector, I have achieved my PR of 2100 meters, and have a reliable connection to about 1500-1800 meters. It makes absolutely no sense to me, and yes, they were installed correctly.

[@Bobster986]

Very cool, I remember modding my old Phantom Vision, but with all the extra expense, wouldn't just be better to buy a Phantom 3 Advance or Pro?

[@DGMaxWax]

+Bobster986 nowadays yes probably but they used to be much more expensive than the standard (500 vs 1300). And I never really planned on modding it at all. I thought it would be good enough as it is. But my tinkerer mentality gets the best of me sometimes

[@Bobster986]

JTO2GO Yeah, I hear ya' :-)

[@KnowledgeIsFood]

How about in city? Alot tall building blocking which 1 will be better? What if 3 tall antenna?

[@Lilfuzz2019]

DUDE that awesome i live near bloomington and would love to fly some quads sometime hmu up if you want. maybe help me install that mod XD. Lovet he vids

[@DGMaxWax]

+Lilfuzz2019 Thanks man! For sure, shoot me an email.

[@zubairhussain72886]

what I don't understand is even if I install this phantom won't allow me to go above 400m Because of software range restrictions or whatever so how is it going to work ?

[@koehlerweems]

Do you think that taking off up under the power lines and then flying it with the power lines in your direct line could cause some limited distance, as opposed to being in a field away from any interference.

[@OldManNoobie]

I noticed that you left the existing video transmission panels in, was this just overlooked or did you do that on purpose?

[@DGMaxWax]

+ewhisenhunt67 there was no reason to remove them. The new ones go on the outside of the old ones and if I ever want to return it to stock I can.

[@stevek46]

Really neat video. I'm really tempted to try to install this myself. Doesn't look that difficult. I do have two more questions. First, how are you maintaining line of sight when the drone is 6,000 ft away from you ??? Also, what tablet are you using because it looks like you are using both wifi and cellular. Your gps is working and you are able to maintain a wifi connection with the drone. Nice.! Thanks!

[@DGMaxWax]

+stevek46 I am using an iPad Pro 9.7 and it does have both wifi and cellular however I don't think GPS has anything to do with that. I think it's it's completely own antenna. Also the drone also has onboard gps.

[@stevek46]

JTO2GO I have the iPad mini wifi only and I can't get the maps to upload. All it tells me is how far I have gone in that direction. Also you must have some great eyes to be able to see 6,000 feet away from you ! Seeing a drone go that far from me would terrify me!

[@hillmanant]

Thanks much just purchased it.

[@fridmani1]

Do you think those power lines your signal is going through is affecting your distance?

[@DGMaxWax]

+fridmani1 I considered this in the beginning but it doesn't really seem like it matters. I get just as much distance from this location as anywhere else.

[@intheworkseg6]

was it in RTH the entire flight back? Great review

[@DGMaxWax]

+TwasButNowAint No I actually had to fly it back manually at full throttle and it would still only go about 2mph against the wind... it was scary.

[@DGMaxWax]

+TwasButNowAint haha oops, sorry I thought you were commenting on another video, yes this was return to home the whole way back.

[@JOHNPJORDAN50]

Nice distance !!! Well done video !!! Try adding Sunhans inline 3 watt amps like I did to my PA3. I got a video on my channel that shows you how to do the mod. I'm hitting 15,000 feet.

[@DGMaxWax]

+johnny J FLA Wow, that's far

[@brandonj.9638]

Where did you buy the phone mount from? I'm trying to find a good alternative to the stock mount.

[@dk99745]

Josh, I noticed that you left the old green video antennas in the RC. What did you do with the wires that attached to them? did you cut them and tape them in order to prevent any shorts or did you remove the green antennas completely? Thanks in advance for the response! Keep up the awesome videos!

[@TheFizzArtz]

Don Karsin As it's shown in the vid he hasn't done anything with them. The cables stood loose, the antenna's stood inside. Because you could end up having signal interference I'ld advise you to remove them from the remote controller. Regards :)

[@DGMaxWax]

+Don Karsin I just tucked them up in the top with tape over them.

[@rj540]

hmmm, what if you used 3 stick antennas with windsurfers installed on them?

[@DGMaxWax]

+RJ's Video Channel I get this question all the time I may have to just do it

[@StraitClownin909]

JTO2GO yes plz do!

[@harrystjames6190]

Very informative - thank you :)

[@lbrooks3057]

Nice video as always.... I'm glad it worked for you. I ordered the same kit. Mine had poor / weak signal.... One bad thing when you have problems, they DO NOT respond to you. I sent mine back and have yet to have anyone answer my messages or refund my money....

[@DGMaxWax]

+L Brooks ouch, well the company has actually commented on this video, maybe they'll help you out now?

[@lbrooks3057]

I got mine off ebay may not be from the same people that messaged you. But it would be nice to hear from someone. Thanks again for your time and info

[@HighPowerExpertARGtek]

Hi, sorry to hear that , can you contact us at [e-mail]?

[@lbrooks3057]

Sent you a email

[@DGMaxWax]

+L Brooks did you send it to my email or in a KZbin message?

[@WonderWhatsNext]

Great vid, will this antenna work with the standard cell phone holder that comes with the Standard controller?

[@DGMaxWax]

I’ve never tried it but I’d guess it would be difficult

[@robfebs5047]

I got the rgtek booster for my P3 standard but for some reason it start losing signal after 500 feet's I live in Colorado I don't know if the high altitude here will affect

[@DGMaxWax]

+Roberto Febles check your connections on the circuit board, the antenna wires can be hard to get on and sometimes aren't fully connected. You should be able to tug on them firmly without them coming off. Another thing to check is to make sure you're using the two matching flat panels or tall antennas on the outside and not two mis-matched ones. 2.4ghz on outside, and 5.8ghz in the middle. If none of that works it could be location specific, things like heavy wifi traffic or nearby cellphone towers could interfere with your signal. Try a different location.

[@gilsanders8448]

I wonder how things would work if you made the skyreat hole bigger and slid it over that tall antenna. Hmmm ☺

[@RammyDread]

Great video. But with that extender how high can you fly?

[@DGMaxWax]

+Rammy Dread well legally you can only go up 400ft. I can neither confirm nor deny that I have broken that barrier. But I would imagine it would go almost as far vertically as it does horizontally. Until you break through clouds and they start interfering.

[@brandopc8746]

Do you think the power lines you're standing under would affect the results?

[@DGMaxWax]

+Brando PC I've done testing with and without he power lines and I don't perceive them to have much of an effect

[@DGMaxWax]

+Brando PC I haven't noticed them to have much of an effect, I used to be worried about the same thing.

[@Markcool2011]

How do you get your in flight GUI to look like how it does on the mavic or phantom 4? My standard still has the original green rectangle on the top middle that says P-GPS, etc.
