flew mine on top of a volcano 5km away, with just DJI RC2 and Integra googles, been flying long range with micro using dji controller 2 never really have problems . here see for your self kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7Vdfsikzc6vXWQ.html

Crossfire is analog tho

Laughs in ELRS... 50km... I'm totally with you on the DJI controller tho...

@@nevezeraayou can run an O3 air unit with crossfire

Elrs hehe crossfire don’t do updates so good look supporting that protocol

Same here. I sold my patch antennas again because they did not really increase the range compared to the stock antennas.

I'm going 3km with trueRC patch at 30M with 50mbps :-)

I'm getting over 100km on the stock antennas

if your using the dji controller 2 i think it will me more safe to use a long single antanna 5.8 and 2.4?

it should work

haha prob not, that signal is goin everywhere including back at the person that's the scary part

They are only 3,turn helical so the cone is not that small, if it was 7 turn or something then yes you have to pay more mind on where your head is pointed

​​​@@adamvalencia1413true but they are directional so they don't only shoot back and to the sides a fraction of what the stock antennas do... So yes you have to be at least pointed in the direction of the drone if your doing longer range

​@@adamvalencia1413as a giant sphere of wave data?

No

Wdym with limited 😅🤫😏

Hey, I reached with the Goggles 2 and stockantennas + Moz 7 over 8.7km. And still had above 7mbps signalstrength. (in Europe, without FCC hack)

If you start with long range, I would recommend the Goggles2. Then you could first check whether you actually need improved antennas...

Good question

O3 Air unit has rx

@@koalafpv Thanks for the reply. Can you send me the instructions on how to connect the DJI controller to a regular ELRS?

@@ronboFPV that’s like trying to make an elephant speak english. Not possible. It’s 2 different languages. You need a radio with an ELRS Tx to speak to an ELRS Rx

@@koalafpv I'm confused, How did you connect the DJI controller to your quad ?

@@ronboFPVI didn’t because I fly analog and crossfire lol

Goggles 3 can’t pull the antennas out.

No

you cannot pop out the antennas on g3

me too

True that an adapter will cause loss, but it's been shown that it's marginal, though there are some cr@py adapter that do have more loss.

@@ugpfpv361 Agree that it can be worthwhile, although most of the adapters used on FPV quads use thin, low grade coax with high loss at 6GHz

@@earthsgrip yeah depends on how high gain the antenna are and if it's offset by bad adapters, I've got an antenna vna and have wanted to get some adapters to see what the reflected loss is and compare it to the antenna gain, I'll have to get on that... I'm sure a 10-11db gain antenna would still give you plenty of gain after the loss

@@ugpfpv361 I appreciate you might run a 10dBi antenna on the ground side, but on the air side? High gain antennas are rarely used on the air side because the radiation pattern is impractical, and SMA adapters here are typically causing loss that is not recovered by antenna gain. But yes of course in principle antenna gain can outweigh the insertion loss, it just usually doesn't happen in practice on the air side.

@@earthsgrip oh the air side, no I was just taking the ground side, yes lots of air side antennas using that crappy coax cable, not to mention ufl... All the more reason to have higher gain on the Rx side

Yeah it has to be power cycled

Im not sure if it actually matters too much

@@Robocopter_fpv my g2s (second hand) have worse rx power probably due to something similar

@@KcCake huh yeah possibly. I think if you accidentally do it like once or twice no problem but if you are doing it all the time it might cause issues.

@@Robocopter_fpv depends how much protection dji put in there. Not as much as their vista for sure. No protection and the vtx would be fried instantly but the vrx would still work

Yep, the OSD would have been much better

Depends on the setup here, if they are linear antennas on the drone and he's using CP antennas you lose 3db if it's CP to CP yes helical will increase signal

Yeah, guess it depends on which country he claims to be in, and technically in the USA you can get a waiver to go beyond line of sight with the proper conditions

Its all some bull shittt

Li-Ion battery, they can go down to 3.0

Lion you can get down to 2.5 under load with good quality ones

nervous*

8.7 km in CE? Wow …

​@@levin7993yeah I'd have to see a video of that, and on a drone not a wing

Latency

@@ugpfpv361 Ahh….

Dustin Dunnill did a video of using LTE network to fly in his Parrot

@@rubengarciajr7560 yeah that was a while ago, with something like a wing I can see but for a drone doing something like driving mountains or flying closer to the ground, the latency is not low enough, pretty cool though

What he used are high gain receiving antennas. This means that you can simply "listen in" better to your video signal. You can think of it as having a bigger microphone to pick up the drone's VTX signal, not a big speaker to talk to the drone. There are no health affects to using such antennas. The radio controller on the other hand would be the thing to look at for health effects, it's the one transmitting at one or two watts of power potentially. (Spoiler: it also doesn't do anything to you.)

​​@@melon9088agree, but the goggles do actually transmit also, same as walksnail

Never had that issue with my set, try it by yourself, u can still control the quad when googles are off, I learned that in the wrong way, my goggles battery died in a middle of a flight

@@Marcarfel yeah nahh I know how the radio link works I'm not gonna try it for myself thanks LMFAO 🤣

I also used the DJI controller for a long time and never had any problems... I even managed 8.7 km distance with it 👍👊

You mean yagi antennas?

@@ugpfpv361 ummm, yes, that is exactly what I wrote...

Lithium ion can go down to 2.5 unlike Lipo 3.5

@@huzafah_ I see!! Thanks a lot for the info!

@@rasheedalrashedi yes.. everything is everywhere. A definite rabbit hole i’d say 😂

Yes that's what he said in the video

You have no videos to present

present what? I said id love to, haven't done it yet but you can read about radiation effects on the brain from almost any prestigious college there's a million of them, and deductive reasoning while something in large doses can kill you the same thing in small will not, and labeled "Safe" to protect the free market and not outlaw the millions of products that cause cancer and such but still in small does isn't good. if you live in California you would see alllll the products that's cause cancer and reproductive harm, almost all plastic products have that label on them in ca even fast food. its legal to sell and "safe" yet still causes that as stated by the warning labels... sooo I mean it does obviously cause harm the question is hoe much...

Your phone is doing way more

@@Krash_fpv you are also using your phone for it plus the antenna on your head.. those are much more powerful antennas and a google search shows it uses 3x more than the average phone plus the phone so its like having maybe 4 phones strapped to your head, also phones have radiation caps in most places by law... these have none and are most likely capable of producing much more than they already do, depending on what they are doing or updates...

​@@adamvalencia1413because it's a directional antenna it's actually less signal "shooting " into the brain than the stock antennas, in fact even higher gain directional antennas would even have less signal shooting back

And a 12 turn is better than a 6 turn ...

He showed at around 2.6 with stock he was getting orange signal display

@@mrantssfpv yeah, but a lot of us are already going 2 to 4 times as far on the stock o3 setup (on drone and goggles). DJI already did a great job with their antenna design, idk if any of us are going to improve on that using trial and error tests. The flyfishrc long o3 IS better, but it's exactly like the stock just longer.

plz pin

But today the real serious fpv Is made by other companies, not by dji

He meant sixty kilometers

@@abinjohngeorge_07 no dude, di VTXs could reach a maximum of 10 kms

DJI might not be able to even fly soon
