Has anyone been able to use the Lightbridge from a mile a away or so as advertised? Any feedback welcome, I want to buy a P3 just want to ensure all is working as advertised

Yes! 2.12 miles or 11,210 feet away from me is the furthest I've flown. That's across a field where there are no trees for about 1800 feet and then residential single family homes, roads, power lines and a golf course. If I fly from the same spot in the opposite direction I only get about a mile before I start having connection issues because I'm closer to tall trees, shopping plaza, cell/ radio towers, and some bigger power lines in that direction. Environment plays a huge part in how far you can fly but the 1.2 mile rating is more than reasonable. I've flown my phantom 2 vision plus (ver 3) in the same direction of my p3 that went 2.12 miles and I went about 2400 feet before I lost video connection and 2800 feet before I lost control signal connection. Dji distance ratings are accurate and not inflated.

Holy smoke, thanks for the feedback. That's pretty good range

Lightbridge is solid .

Same here. Could have gone farther but the battery and return to home distance were getting awfully close together!! LOL

Hey Austin, this is off-topic but what animal or thing is in your avatar? lol it looks like a dead chupacabra..

I flew mine and got about 3000 feet, but that was with about 1100 feet over open field then 600 feet of dense forest then about another 1000 feet in semi open field, then an 10 foot line of trees, then I got the low signal warning. I have yet flown out of video range.

Well, of course not! If you believe in tales you will also believe in santa claus. In south america every unidentified creature or body is called chupacabra. This is a normal body from a dead animal, probably weeks old and it probably lost its hair cause of an illness or burnings. Most animals looks totally different without hair, you should see dogs or bears without hair, totally different looks. I would guess this is a weeks old body from an ill tasmanian devil, maybe suffered from mange. The other possibility its just a fake body but certainly not a mythical creature.

5km for me, although lightbridge on my f550 can only do 2km for some reason.. prolly cuz the p3 has 4 lightbridge antennas on it and rugular lightbridge only has 2 on the air end

4.8 miles

A dog without hair??? Dudeness, who is lost?? Since when do dogs get haircuts?? Dude, in texas we have a lot of monsters. Just ask anyone in texas, that is what texas means in Spanish.....land of monsters.

man how old are you? of course dogs can loose hair because of a desease like mange. You have no idea, i guess you still believe in santa claus. Again there is no creature like you describe and no Yeti's are also mythical creatures from tale books. This is the problem of mankind, ppl still believe in witches and vodoo, thats the reason charlatans can earn big money, for example with a dowsing rod,tarot cards or some magical stones.   

Wow this thread went sideways ....   First off I'm reading about Light bridge range, scroll down a bit and we're talking about giving a dog a hair cut.


LOL you guys crack me up... I spose this is what happens when they leave it too long between firmware updates.

Occasionally shoot in vivid settings and use maybe an ND2 or ND4 but not on them all and no other editing

Did you understand what i wrote? I said they can loose hair, for example from a disease like mange, not manage.  http://bajadogrescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Mange-dog.jpg

In almost all these cases, the monsters have turned out to be coyotes suffering from very severe cases of mange, a painful, potentially fatal skin disease that can cause the animals’ hair to fall out and skin to shrivel, among other symptoms, National Geographic News reported in 2010. (Related: “‘Balding’ Bears: Mangy Mystery in Florida.”)

For some scientists, this explanation for supposed chupacabras is sufficient. “I don’t think we need to look any further or to think that there’s yet some other explanation for these observations,” Barry OConnor, a University of Michigan entomologist who has studied Sarcoptes scabiei, the parasite that causes mange, said in 2010.
Likewise, wildlife-disease specialist Kevin Keel has seen images of an alleged chupacabra corpse and clearly recognized it as a coyote, but said he could imagine how others might not.

Stories of animals that suck the blood of livestock have exploded in Mexico, the U.S. Southwest, and even China since the mid-1990s, when the chupacabra, or chupacabras, was first reported in Puerto Rico (map).

Dude, you must not have access to main stream news. Perhaps when DJI delivers your drone you will start to become more educated. For now just coast, don't come to texas. You will get eaten by a smonter
