Figure 9.15 Hero 3 test-pattern image capture.
My only conclusion from the test result is that the Hero 3 is best used with a fair amount
of distance between the lens and any object to be videoed or photographed. Fortunately, this
will be the standard situation when the Hero 3 is mounted on the Elev-8.
Hero 3 WiFi-Range Test
I considered it to be very important to determine the maximum range from which the Hero
3 could be remotely operated with an Android tablet that is using the WiFi channel. WiFi
range is dependent primarily on these three factors:
1. Environment
2. Protocol
3. Transmitter power
