in today's video I'll be showing you how to increase the maximum distance of your
drone using a range booster so stay tuned hi everyone instead is here on
this channel you'll find drone and product reviews if you're new here
consider subscribing oh by the way at any point during this video do check out
my notes and links down at the YouTube description below list down everything
that I talked about particularly of this range booster and anything else that I
forget so if you haven't seen my previous videos do check them out
there's probably about 4 key things that impacts your drones maximum distance
again I'll link it down below to give you an idea what those adjustments are
made are so just a quick recap on my first video did a couple of tests and
only managed to hit 800 mark 800 meters sorry my second video I finally managed
to hit the 1000 meter mark which is the maximum distance of the Phantom 3
standard I want to increase the range without any complicated modifications or
installations for the drone so the easiest way to do it is by a range
booster I bought this online and Aliexpress for about 6 dollars free
shipping took about 2 weeks to arrive here in Australia with this range
booster all you need to do is put it there top sorry you can see yeah there
you go so yes it's not hard to install connected day and it will amplify the
range of the antenna because normally without this this antenna is circular it
goes all over everywhere I don't know you call it anyway let's just say it
goes everywhere with with this range booster what it does is it prevents it
from going like from this direction and focuses only for this on this direction
I don't really know how my brain cell function hello
sorry if I come describe it a little bit better but that's how I see it
so with this one it isolates it and focus all the reception or the antenna
range to a particular direction so you ideally you want to put the control into
the direction of your drone so yeah so that's what I've done with this range
booster installed I'll show you in this video how far my drone can fly now I'm
just going through my calibration there's usual calibration so yeah there
you go I'm flying sorry before I forget I'm
flying on the same exact place from my second video I flew around the beach
area again exact same location I've used the same sort of height I'm flying at
about 50 meters here as you can see in this video
flying about 50 meters really pushing it now okay so 800 meters yeah I'm flying
really fast yeah I get my GPS level it's 11 I got full bar on my antenna Wi-Fi
signal about three bars not too bad yeah about 300 meters now boy am i flying
really fast here about 400 meters
yeah about 500 now 600 600 meters now my antennas still full but my Wi-Fi signal
is kind of dropping to about 2 now 7 700 meters 800 now 800 meters now 828 3,900
metres my RC signal loss as you can see there it went from one level but one bar
but now it's back to full bar again but you can see Bauer say 1000 meters so I'm
totally big my previous record again this is with the range booster I'm still
keep I'm still going right it's 1000 when I 1200 now 1212 15 of 16 and 12 79
it's kinda feeling a little bit worried I was getting a little bit worried 1300
so 1300 it lost the signal and returning home so about 1350 meters so that's
that's pretty good that's an up little 300 meters using this range booster when
I was flying it I was really getting a little bit worried but you know if I'm
gonna lose my drone anything and thankfully the return to home function
kicks in so yeah 1350 meters so it gave me an update
it gave me an additional 300 meters 300 meters may not sound as big but if
you're flying somewhere you know if you're flying from far away like in the
mountains or somewhere else this will definitely help you now I haven't
actually tested it anywhere else aside from the beach but I will be definitely
I will definitely be using it when I go hiking into the mountain so somewhere
far away 300 meters will help a lot especially on this throne so yeah I was
getting a little bit worried whether you know I'm gonna lose signal but it took a
while to come back it took about five minutes to come back from what does it
bear I made it all the way back to the home base question of the day what drone
modifications have you done for your drone do comment
down below I'd love to hear it from you especially drunk community out there
what what sort of drum modifications you've done maybe you've bought a range
booster like myself or you've changed some of those settings of your drone you
know added extra propellers I don't know comment down below love to hear from you
guys and yeah really a little like to understand what are some of the drone
modifications that can be done oh yeah there you have it I hope you enjoyed
this video give it a like and subscribe to my channel for more videos
again this is Dennis and I'll see you all next time you know so far by flying
on oceans beaches six seven dollar items that you can easily connect in to your
remote control antenna
