Does anyone now what the difference will be with the Ikelite system? Does that just beef up the 5.8 Video comms or does it extend range in general. How is the P's range so far ahead?
Both range and video, the P uses Lightbridge, not wifi, stronger less traffic. Some ideal locations will double your distance, other 20-60 % increase in range and videos, facts play into it.Does anyone now what the difference will be with the Ikelite system?

May be, I just got in with my P4 and hit 2.2 miles and then back, landed with 26% battery, I do live in a very rural area of Texas, but 500ft out here came the forest trees!, It does all depend on location, time of day, satellites available etc.Your going to get more than 500-700 feet easy. It all depends, even with light bridge where you are and what's between you and the craft.
Simon that runs. The Kitchen Table easy got 1000 feet and claimed he could get more.
Anntena can be changed anyway, they screw on with a need to have to take the controller apart.
Another video on you tube where the guy gets a usb cable across water and was 1.6 kms away, but had a different anntena.
So since anntena just screw in there are lots of options.
The furthest my p3 pro has ever got was 890 meters so even light bridge varies from phantom to phantom.
Seems in a many of cases the p3 pro/advanced has greater range over the p4.

Your are right, I do watch the KP Index before flyingAnd atmosphere and solar activty would make a difference I would think also.
FYI : flying beyond line of site is not illegal. Against recommendations yes.. Illegal nope.
I'm new here so I won't be a jerk.. I know what the recommended guidelines are... Guidelines and laws are not the same..Hobby Drone Flying:
operating guidelines
No I'm not splitting hairs.. A law is a statute that is enforceable and has a specified penalty. While flying beyond line of sight is illegal in some countries it is not in the US. You can argue that it is proper to follow the guidelines and remain in VLOS. I would agree with you. You can argue it is in everyone's best interest to follow the guidelines. I would agree with that as well..but saying it is against the law.. Nope, that is incorrect and I won't agree with that statement.Hey m0j0,
Splitting hairs, like, "not illegal" on LOS, is just the attitude that will create a problem in the media when someone has a problem 2 or 3 miles away giving a stranger a free haircut. It's a recommendation for a reason, it's safer and if nobody takes any notice, it then becomes law.
By the way, It's also probably only a recommendation to wear a parachute for skydiving.
So you agree with me.. It is not a law. That is exactly what I said.It will come to the USA before long,
Looking to and doing so are two entirely different things. I'm certain there will be laws governing drones. The problem with state regulations is ..... They really don't have the authority to restrict airspace in the United States. That is solely the authority of the FAA., but some places in the USA are worse than us as looking at a total ban on drones? From what I heard is New York not pushing to ban them outright?
I comprehend just fine. My initial response was in regard to the "against the law statement." I won't return your insult.. Have a nice day Chris.Not sure if you're comprehension is working.... Read my post again.... I never said it was against the law, I said it's a "recommendation" that people should follow for a reason.
