How to FIX BAD Range - FCC Hack VS DJI Ocusync 4 Signal Test
Рет қаралды 12,643
Күн бұрынGot a bad signal fix for your DJI drone? I test DJI's latest Ocusync 4 vs the FCC hack DJI Fly app from drone tweaks to see which gives the best signal with the DJI Mini 4 pro. I also include the DJI Mini 3 pro and an old favourite the DJI Mini 2 to see how they perform in the same environment. The Drone Tweaks app is available for the DJI RC, RC2 and RC Pro Controller, DJI Mini 2, Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro, Mini 4 Pro, Air 2, Air 2s, Air3 & DJI Mavic 3 series

Hi Gavin, I appreciate your very clear technical explanation, knowledge and delivery. Very few of the other channels understand the technical differences with regards to FCC and CE modes and corresponding frequencies and power levels and the effects of different terrains/environments.

Hey Gazzzassss, supadupa vidills, my conundrum is i have a mini 3pro, and the FREE FCC HACK from Gil, that you input through the bottom of the rcn1. If i get the mini 4, I'll be ce, and i can't afford the drone tweaks annual fee, as I'm a destitute pensioner, because i waste all my pension on drones. So, is the mini 4 on ce as good as the mini 3 on fcc? Ce doesn't even give 300m, as you show, so i have to use fcc at all costs. So, mini 4 on ce gets what range????, because mini 3 on fcc gets almost 3km in busy areas.

As always... 👍👍 Gavin! OUCH according to this video I had it backwards. I erroneously thought only the FCC version included 5.2, not the CE version. It's no wonder my M4P does so well here in _CE drone HELL_ Thailand! Of course, amazing O4 is why I finally bit the bullet and grabbed an M4P late last year. It's too bad the Drone Tweaks app can't help my beloved old short-range CE Mini 1, still in perfect condition. Oh well.

Couldn't agree more gavin its the reason I got the mini 4 pro at launch. I was pretty disappointed with the mini 3 pro signal, and even in the ce mode, I find the mini 4 pro much better for signal if only the mavic 3 had ocusync 4. But fcc from drone tweeks would certainly help if you're experiencing signal issues 👍

Are the frequency limitations hard coded into the firmware by region or are they dynamically enabled/disabled by the geo location? i.e., I'm a US based flier with the appropriate hardware/firmware/software for my location. If I go to Europe with my Mini 4 Pro will it automatically geld itself when it sees that I'm in Europe?
@User-jr7vf Ай бұрын
That's what I also wanted to know. I bought a Mini 3 from China, it is being shipped right now and the seller says "CE certificate". I'm afraid this was a bad deal as the drone won't fly in FCC mode, which is allowed in my country.
