I have this drone and I use it to train my daughter to fly with it. She can get used to flying drones, does not need to register and/or get a license (The Netherlands). We only have to register the drone itself because it has a camera! Stupid law and it is only there to steal money out of your pocket. The camera connection issues during long distance are most of the time caused by other devices near you that use 2.4 GHz. Make sure that no other wireless devices are near you and/or the controller. Try it again. And yes, this drone has a very good distance for the money. Last but not least, this kind of video is perfect. It gives new users who are new to drones all the information they need to start flying. This video answers one of the most asked questions, how far can it get! Great Job. Keep u the good work, new subscriber!

A really interesting little town to look at. The priority RC channel makes all the difference for signal strength. I had to update to a drone with a proprietary radio channel because of the poor reception of the control and video signal. I would never go back to the old WiFi because it has too much interference at distance. Brilliant hilltop footage. Thanks.

Other than the lack of a mechanical gimbal this is a great drone. Compared to many of the budget models, they seem to have it very dialed in and worked out the bugs that so many others have. If the new ATOM works this well with the added gimbal it should be a real winner if they keep the cost down. Cool that the old house was still showing in the satellite image at 27:30

That was a great test. Even though you were flying over neighborhoods and whatnot, you were pretty high up, I'm surprised that there was that much interference with the signal.
@RCEscape Жыл бұрын
Thanks! Well, I'm not sure why. I don't know if it was interference or if it was just that I was too high up with the signal not directed at the quadcopter. The first location had mountains on both sides to act as sort of a parabolic dish so it helped with the signal? Maybe? But definitely, I was high up enough to evade any interference on the second flight. I've flown over homes before without anything like this.

@RCEscape Жыл бұрын
I was already at about 132meters from the ground where the home and thus the wifi interferences are at. Remember I took off from the hilltop which is about 80meters high up but on the app it registers as zero and went up to 52meters and the highest a consumer drone can fly is 120meters. So, I should have gotten better results at the 80meter high hilltop but did not. Perhaps the theory that the parabolic dish landscape at the valley where I was at was better for rc signal even though I was up only 57meters than the hilltop site since the sides of the hilltop would reflect the signal coming back from the drone since I'm at the top of the hill, kind of like the concave and convex analogy. The sjrc f22s did basically the same thing.

If I lose signal and it's a mile or two away, I know it's coming back. I'll just go sit down and have a beer and wait... I've owned this drone since 2 weeks after it was released, I've never owned a Potensic before, never even paid attention to them before this point, yet I'm very pleased.
