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.

@markhaleston1607 7 лет назад

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

@paulfowler2502 6 лет назад

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 5 лет назад

Same! for both!

@markhalton2584 5 лет назад

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.

@holysnikees98 6 лет назад

Just bought this and excited to install it

@Sicilian504 7 лет назад

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.

@dronegirl2024 4 года назад

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..

@mikesmith8427 7 лет назад

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 7 лет назад

+Mike Smith thanks Mike! Glad I could help.

@mikesmith8427 7 лет назад

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 7 лет назад

+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 7 лет назад

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 7 лет назад

+Mike Smith 2.4ghz

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

@rubyv4s 7 лет назад

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

@DGMaxWax 7 лет назад

+Rube Velazquez No it should be about $70 USD

@userhandle3378 4 года назад

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!

@phantomse3jockey392 5 лет назад

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.

@Timjhd 7 лет назад

Great Job! Thanks for all the tips...

@DGMaxWax 7 лет назад

+Timjhd You're Welcome!

@michaellandowski995 8 лет назад

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 8 лет назад

+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.

@Naqasya_4321 7 лет назад

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.👍👍👍👌👌😃😃😃

@BPMC1988 6 лет назад

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

@DGMaxWax 7 лет назад

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 7 лет назад

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

@ianrice1778 6 лет назад

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.

@Patrick140469 7 лет назад

A very good video,i like all you re videos.Its not to do critic,but you dont have to identify the cables with something because the connectors have diffrent sizes,^^

@FamilyFunIRL 7 лет назад

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

@DGMaxWax 7 лет назад

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

@Markcool2011 7 лет назад

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.

@mrbtwice 7 лет назад

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

@KnowledgeIsFood 5 лет назад

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

@bernyecheverria 7 лет назад

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.

@gilsanders8448 6 лет назад

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

@a420naaron2 7 лет назад

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 7 лет назад

+Aaron Mattheu I got the one that has all 4

@brianomalley4370 3 года назад

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.

@philkyle8919 4 года назад

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

@1tommymulligan 6 лет назад

Had this on my P3 Standard which I since lost due to faulty battery. Now have a P3 Professional will it work on the P3 Pro?

@assistant363 7 лет назад

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

@gideonververgaert6708 7 лет назад

do you have to reconect the red wire or can you only remove the grey white and black wires and replace them with the argtek wires

@mentuemhet 7 лет назад

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 7 лет назад

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

@mentuemhet 7 лет назад

@gid_verepsic4794 7 лет назад

do you have to remove the red wires or can you just remove the grey wires and replace the with the argtek grey wires

@DJRipGroove99 6 лет назад

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.

@kickass122112 5 лет назад

just make sure your plugging the right antennas into the right ports the center on is 5.8ghz and the two outer ones are 2.4 ghz. on the antenna themselves they mark which are which and this is important

@Atv821 7 лет назад

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.

@carlosmorales6306 7 лет назад

Hello JTO2GO I would like to know which firmware are you using for long range test. I've read that 1.8.1 reduce range. Any advice?

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 ?

@LawDogg 7 лет назад

@kmb72856 7 лет назад

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.

@MaxfieldCustoms 6 лет назад

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.

@bimmerclubnc 7 лет назад

hey my standard 4k has 2 antennas unlike this one? there is some type of ribbon cable connected? please help!

@koehlerweems 7 лет назад

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.

@bladefpv9194 6 лет назад

What would happen if you removed the stock patch antennas that came in the remote?

@johnny12895 7 лет назад

which flat panels and middle antennae you use, should you have two matching wifi 7dbi and the one long antennae in the middle like the 2.4 g or the 5.8 g ?
