DJI Mavic Air 2 Cool New Antenna -Did It Help?

Well I have tested parabolic dishes for other drones but never an antenna booster. So I figured that $20 for more distance wasn't a bad price.
It was easy to put on my controller and with in seconds I was ready to try it out. Stick around to find out if this antenna booster by Start RC really helped me achieve more distance with my Mavic Air 2.

I hope some of the product companies ask you to review their future products as I think your passion and experience really comes through well. Shame the elk never came out in elk park for you today that’s pretty much what it’s like for me every time I decide to actually hunt and I’m not just wandering around 🤷♂️ Enjoy your night and thanks so much for my channel card I appreciate all that you do 😊👍

Thank you Ryan 👍 I have some footage of the elk there I got this summer, but I decided not to include it. Mainly because someone might say I was harassing the wildlife. I actually have been contacted by a drone company and they are talking about sending me a drone to review. I'll let you know more when the drone is in my hands. You are too kind Ryan and I appreciate everything you do. I sure do hope and pray that your boy is doing well. Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to watch this.

No surprise you didn’t make it back (not for the first time), but the fact you got it to 22k feet I think made you happy (It didn’t seem that high tho). I enjoyed the sped up descent it reminded me of coming in to land on an aircraft. One more thing, those roads were so quiet, man I’d have enjoyed driving on those 🤔

In some instances these will offer longer range. I've tested this booster several times over a week's time with the same flight path. Some days it worked better than others Once when at 7k+ feet out I removed the booster and the signal improved. Can't figure out what affects the booster to have positive results one flight and not so positive the next

@EZETechnRC 3 жыл бұрын
Hey great video and demo.. You should try it again but this time go manual for the signal and stay in the 5.8gHz band... Also get the Yagi 2.4ghz antenna and try the same in goijg to manual and switching to 2.4ghz.. See the difference between the 2.. It should be way better range with the 2.4ghz vs the 5.8gHz... So there's a Parabolic Reflector you can get for this controller.. That way you can keep it in Dual Band and it'll reflect all the signals shooting back at you and shooting everything forward.. Don't forget with the Yagi it more of a streamlines and directional signal to make sure you're pointing the antennas at the Quadcopter...

You definitely want to come back in Sport mode so far out with headwind on return. No play with gimbal and in a straight line. As soon as possible reduce constant altitude in highspeed so you can use reduced RPM while holding speed and the headwind will reduce in lower altitudes. You can make it back to your Startingpoint.

Something very confuses me here. I assume the antenna booster you used is for 5.8Ghz. For long range test like this, your remote must have switched to 2.4Ghz after the MA2 passed 1800 ft. From 1800 ft to 22000 ft, you actually utilized the 2.4Ghz channel, so the antenna booster was completely pointless after 1800 ft. Am I right?

Here in Europe as I recall its only 2.4Ghz on MA2? /though I can check it myself with my spectrum analyzer.. got a bunch of these Yagi antennas.. some in silicone and some in 3D printed. and some you can also put on the mA2 legs and not only the TX (are the antennas in the front legs? on the Air2?

I thought that the US model was designed for 10 km (without extender) - you seem happy with 7 km with the extender - I am mystified.

@@montanadrone1236 No shit? Well I learned something new today. That’s pretty cool. I’d go try it tomorrow but we’re in some serious IFR weather all day with precip. Hopefully I’ll get some IMC with the full scale plane. Really appreciate the reply!

Bet it would have gone alot further if you were pointing the controller at the drone. Looking at your screen recording (bottom middle) the drone was going in the opposite direction you were pointing the controller. Bet you could get 5miles or more with those yagi uda range booster in conjunction with pointing the controller at the drone.. watched your video again i noticed you took off from the hood of your truck. I have seen many videos that say not to take off a metal object because it will throw off your compass. Great test otherwise and beautiful country !
@montanadrone1236 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching Jim. The truth is I was pointing my controller at the drone. For some reason after one of the recent updates that little compass at the bottom of the screen is no longer accurate. I think I could have gotten 5 miles, but I was hoping to get it back to where I was. Maybe on one of my next tests I'll try to send it out as far as I can without bringing it back to the home point. This area is a lot prettier at the beginning of summer, when everything is green. I was hoping to see some elk, but unfortunately they must have headed off to the high country. Thank you very much for watching twice, I really appreciate it 👍

Do you realize that in the instructions for these antennas ( they say you have to manually switch to 5.8 GHz they don't work on 2.4 ) You have to take it off of Auto and switch to 5.8
@montanadrone1236 3 жыл бұрын
These extenders didn't come with any instructions. It was just a test and regardless of switching to 5.8 ghz I really didn't have any disruption in connectivity. I have a friend in Illinois who flew over 5 miles with just a stock controller. All I can say is these may or may not have helped. Thanks for taking the time to watch 👍

Why low battery warnings at 71% battery?
@montanadrone1236 3 жыл бұрын
I'm pretty sure it's because of the wind and also the high altitude that I was flying at. My elevation there was over 6000 feet which makes the air thinner and the motors have to work harder to keep the drone airborne. Thanks for watching 👍
