Hi there. 2700 feet is too short for the P4. First of all try to find an open space and test again. Remember, in order to avoid signal lost and other interference there shouldn't be trees near you or high voltage electricity lines. If the problem remains, I recommend to contact DJI customer service. Good luck.

@reyquezada

juankviera1 there is no way that the range of your P4 is to short, make sure your pull up the antenna from you remote at the right direction look for damages on the antenas, the legs from yor P4 are the P4 antenas look for damages, if you dont see any thing wrong call support, make shore you have latest update software for your remote and the P4, try in a open area with no obstacle, good luck

Would only work if aimed at where the drone is. Any other direction it would reduce range.

I love the Phantom 4, adds a whole new dimension to my VLOGs and with this booster, I'll be able to do a CRAZY pull back shot :) Thx for the review, getting myself a pair!

+Ken Heron just got my phantom 2 days ago and I could jump and scream if I was brave enough to do It. absolutely love the way it looks. The bad thing is when i first fly it was incredibly windy and I had a hard time controlling it, I almost crashed it at my parents house in a tree but resulted in just cutting some leaves. To top it off I'm new to the whole drone world so I'm very much a beginner and this incident kinda made me a little afraid. Im looking for videos that can help me gain some skills. I do love it tho but im a bit nervous about crashing it or hurt somebody.

so, by the looks of it you went just about 3km, with clear video and a clear line of sight? :)

Yea that's one thing I wished they would improve is battery consumption to get maybe three hours of flight out of a battery would be really nice.

The antenna boosters are cool, but the extra range comes from the way reduced range behind you so expect about a quarter or less of the original range behind you.

NICE! Let me know how those work for you.

Great review! Going from Red mountain to I59 is quite a haul, seems much further in my mind than it even appears in the video. I live in Bham myself and have considered flying over downtown for those great shots. The airport a few exits down and my lack of enthusiasm for spurring a UFO sighting controversy in town has deterred me thus far. So, I've just stuck to flying around Hoover near the Met. You may have inspired me to explore the city a little more...Within my legally regulated limits, of course.

Same company is making a set for the XSP and I love them. Good review!

Bought these after watching. They're great. Thanks.

Sorry for this dumb question but I am entirely new to the phantom drone world, but with the range extenders you still get live video feed right?

oh I see. I'm gonna get me one of these things one day. Seen a video earlier of some guy claiming 8 miles, but he could have been flying in Detroit lol.

Since I like to do FPV flight and hope to do this with a phantom 3 standard I hope to purchase in the near future. Would these extenders also improve the signal for the video reception? I would be using my cell phone with a Utopia 360 visor. And yes before anyone comments about that, this the cost effective route I am required to take. See I have 5 boys, a wife with hobbies and a mortgage.......so everything about my future drone will be on a strict budget. Still watching the $20.00 bill I buried in the backyard to see if the money tree sprouts soon.

A good way to get rid of the propellers in the shot would be to render the entire video as a 2.39:1 aspect ratio

Hi Ken, just subscribed after watching a few of your videos the past few days. I'm new to quadcopters/drones, but love my P4 so far.. My question somewhat dovetails with your review of both these range extenders and your preview of your next review of FPV goggles. Currently I am using an iPad 4 Mini and here in Florida the ambient light can be quite bright, even with a shade around the tablet.. I noticed another one of your videos where you were demonstrating your technique for flying orbits around a tower in the woods manually while wearing FPV goggles and noticed you plugging them directly into the USB port on the controller. I'm seriously considering picking up a set of these range extenders for when I do a bit of long range flights to record the beautiful skies of the Florida Keys and Everglades National Park.. and was thinking that goggles would be a big help not only with the ambient lighting conditions, but also with helping me frame up the shot I am looking for compositionally. The only negative I can think of is navigation and using Google Maps... Currently if I ever lose LOS with the P4 I have the luxury of looking at the small window on the tablet to see my course over ground and find her again in the sky. When flying with these range extenders do you personally use the Google Maps window for aid with navigation, and if so, are you using it with FPV or taking them off when you get close? Thanks!

NIce video. I dig the shop setup in the studio there. Obviously the first video I have seen by you. Boosters, as soon as I get my DJI Phantom, I may just get these as well. Time will tell. By the way, I am subscriber #911.

Longer antennas will not work. If you want to waste money on some sort of repeater, feel free, but you'd be wasting both your time and money.
