DJI Phantom 3 Standard Range Booster

thingiverse

I was on a mission to find a booster for my phantom 3 standard, but all I could come across were ones designed for the advanced and pro models. This sparked an idea in me - why not design one myself? So, I took matters into my own hands and created a custom solution. The booster fits snugly over the single antenna on the standard model, requiring just a bit of sanding to fit perfectly. One notable feature that sets this design apart from others is a cutout at the bottom, which prevents the unit from spinning off due to the round antenna's shape. I've successfully printed my first prototype, and it fits seamlessly onto the drone. However, I haven't had a chance to test its range in real-world conditions yet. As soon as I do, I'll be sure to share my findings with you all. Based on its design, I'm optimistic that this booster will deliver at least double the range of stock models. To enhance signal strength, I've applied metallic tape to the inner surface, a material commonly used for ductwork and readily available at home improvement stores like Home Depot.
