Will these work if I fly my drone behind, say, a house or are they strictly line of sight?

It will still work they might just have a few lines running up the screen depending on the building material I noticed metl buildings really mess with it

These are the transmitter and receiver antenna. You will need the transmitter and receiver also. As long as the radio transmission signal is not blocked by house or building you will be fine. The range depending on the power of the transmitter and receiver you are using. FPV (First Personal View) range can be from a few hundred feet to a few thousands feet away. Hope this helps.

Yes, these are directional, there's only so far they will move but it's not a bad range.

the range is limited by your wifi signal. you connect to the wifi that the drone creates, you can use a range extender or a repeater to extend the control range.

I think they would work, they have good range, but they would be heavy. They're great for sky watching. I have tried to follow bald eagles with them, but without much success, and I think it's because of the weight.

The ones I received had a pretty good range on it. 50 feet-ish. It could be that the batteries were fresh in mine. It wouldn't hurt to try. Please let me know.

Instructions says "fly past" and that is it. I have a DX9 with two antennas and the range is well over 200 yards. single antenna transmitters are approximately 50 yards.

No. They are just for making a waypoint. When you get within distance, your GPS will pick up the signal and give you whatever info is programmed into it.

You don't need to connect via your home or work wifi. However, the drone has it's own wifi. You need to be able to connect with that via your controller (ex: iPhone). Hope that helps.

I have had mine set up in the house at about 30 ft and they work fine. My Sirt laser pistol will cast a visible beam on the neighbors garage about 300 yards across the park when it is close to dusk. I was assuming that it would work if the beam was visible but I haven't tested that theory. I can't see the visible beam over 30-40 ft outside on a sunny day. I haven't tried the targets outside yet. I will get back to you when I do

About 50' yards, although conditions and the tablet you're can vary this. You can also find "range extenders" on the internet, but I haven't tried any of them. I get a bit nervous past about 100' but, theoretically, the drone will stop and hover if it loses the signal ... theoretically. That would allow you to move closer to regain control. I just picked up a GPS device for my drone which should by-pass range limitations since the control signals should come from it, not your tablet. Haven't wrung it out yet, however, so that's more "theoretical" bits.

If you have direct line of sight: probably. If you're going through walls: probably not.

Our units worked thru walls and well as ceiling/floor for upstairs/downstairs location.Many factors influence the range; such as battery strength, density of obstruction, distance between the transmitter and receiver so your effective range will likely depend on your circumstances. We find our units worked well for my dad to locate his cane every time in our home.

I found that mine has short range and low volume. It works well with line-of-sight but not thru objects. Here is a good PDF on the subject: http://www1.crouse-hinds.com/wirelessio/PDF/White%20Paper/white_paper_frequencies.pdf

I use mine as a back-up radio when I fly. The best ground range I have gotten from it is about 5-6mi. It is of course low-power, so line of sight is important to achieve best performance.

The furthest I've flown is about 1 kilometre which is about 1/2 a mile from where I was located. I had no control problems at all. Because I was in a ravine my video glasses had a lot of interference and at times it was hard to see where I was going. I wouldn't chance going any further. Although I couldn't see mine, it's good to keep it in line of site. If it looses your signal it should go into safe mode and fly back to where it took off from automatically . I hope this helps, I really like my phantom and fly as often as I can....Jim Hooper

Have you ever hooked these up before. Not sure if you are intermediate or not. I have nanostation m5 and it works 2.2 miles with a fairly clear line of sight. It will work I know twice that far. So if you have a clear line of sight at 3 miles it should work.

Hi Dana - the remote will only work with line of sight. In other words you have to point the remote at the pickup sensor on the front of the camera (or on the back if your camera has a rear sensor).
