Yeah the wind can be a problem, mine can't handle anything more than 10km/h, yours weighs the same, has the same flight time (according to manufacturer) so that won't handle wind well either. Close to you, is there a delay? Like, a few meters out?

Oh, that's weird. How high have you been flying? It should have more range, 300-500 according to the website. I guess, the X12 is better this way, it has a built in reciever in the controller, so the range is more, and I'm planning to upgrade that antenna for even more range. But I don't know...

I know I have a different one, and yes, I have the same issue. Do you have GPS mode enabled? If I don't calibrate the sensors good it keeps going in circles, goes up and down a bit.

What do you mean by sluggish? I have a HS120D and if I'm 60 meters away or more, theres a 1 or 2 second wait time to turn/move

Well, the HS120D, says it has 300m range, but the FPV starts lagging at 100m. Like, really badly. Two, or three second lags. And, it can't do with any wind at all. 10km/h wind in 1/3 speed it would just go with the wind, 2/3 speed it would hardly go forward. What 4k camera upgrade did you get...

Yeah, thats a bit.. double actually from Europe.. And, I have ordered the X12 a few hours back. But, thanks for your feedback. Do you know how long you had it for? Sounds like a good product. I used to have an other drone, I have my HS120D, i flied 10+ times and never crashed so far.

Oh, nice! Yeah, the drone is 437 grams, and looks like this: But, I have a question. So i said I want range, right? Well, what do you think I should do, get a pagoda tx and rx, or, leave the stock dipole, and maybe build/buy a 5-8 turn helical? It will be mounted to a tripod that I can aim...

Thanks. And, does it make sense to get carbon fibre props of the same size/same thrust? I heard it's good, but i've also heard it's bad. What do you think? Are there lighter ones that have the same thrust? If yes, that would work IMO. Also, stripping the frame for less weight? I mean, taking...

Yeah, I don't really plan on racing, lol, maybe in the future, but defenetly not yet. You said the bigger props, and I was thinking about it.. Would it be a good idea to put slightly bigger, maybe carbon fiber props on the quad? Would it ruin the hover? Would it give it a bit more flight time...

I gave myself a second thought. Would it be CHEAPER, to build my own drone? I have a 274$ budget for this. Could I achieve higher flight times than 25 mins? And have 1920*1080 HD video recording with a stabilized 3 way gimbal? Or just buy the JJRC x12 and upgrade it as I go?

I guess I'll just stay with the pagoda then, because I don't know the cone and I don't have a tracker. Should it stick up or down the drone? Does this one seem good...

Damn, too bad they don't make these in china or some other place, shipping is 30$. I guess I'll have a directional reciever for the FPV footage? Does that work well? By the way, I just watched a couple of tests, and it seems that pagoda antennas work better than cloverleaf ones, so I guess I'll...

Hey! I have 2 questions. How does splitting work? I have a 2 way splitter, bascially 1 signal in, 2 out. If I connect a directional, and a cloverleaf antenna both at the ends of the splitter, what would happen? Would they share (half) the transmitting power? Or do I need 2 amplifiers after the...

Nice, okay. The JJRC X12 has a function, when you can connect your phone to the remote, which connects to the quad. Maybe, I can find the reciever part of it, make a connector, and when I wanna do high distance FPV, I can use the 1.8m parabolic dish I found laying on the side of the road in...

Nice pupper, i have 4, and all of them are OK with my quad, they just look at it weird when i fly around them. But if i fly over them they run from the wind! You see, I don't wanna swap the drone's parts out, but maybe attach parts, So, with your help so far, I think I'll get the 1w transmitter...

Okay. Let's look at consumer drones, that you buy. For example: SJRC F11. You have an app on your phone, that you open. They are really generic, almost all of the drones I've seen use the same app, rebranded/renamed, per company. You go to a list and select your drone. To get the FPV video feed...

Okay, so you basically told me what I know so far, lol. I mean, the controller / transmitter has 2 antennas. Also, you said "other one is Video-Link from Quad down to you on the ground (with receivers)." I still don't understand. Does my phone pick it up, or does the controller (That i drive...

I wanna learn a bit more. Why does the remote have 2 antennas? Also, how do the connections work? I mean, there are those "range extenders" that focus the signal apperantly. How do people get better and further FPV? Isn't the drone what "radiates" the wifi and then the phone picks it up? Or...

Okay, thanks. I think I'll end up getting the JJRC X12 after all. I'll look into more directional stuff, as I'll be facing the drone most of the time.

Also, found this booster for FPV, any opinions? What should I expect for range? https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-8G-48CH-Boscam-TS832-5-8GHz-600mw-Wireless-Video-Transmitter-for-Rc-Drone/182220311513?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144 or, I found a 1w version, what could be the range on that one?
