And I had no idea the word d a mn was a cuss word still lol
My concern is not with 40,000 foot range, which by the way if you can pull that off then wowsers thats awesome. I am more concerned with absolute positive control of my device for safety and a solid tether to my $1300.00 drone. I already have contemplated getting a Trackimo incase I do lose control.
I am intersted in this mod. I would like to know if the antenna box can be removed quickly and stowed away. I am highly HIGHLY highly, yes 3x to emphasize, turned off by the abhorrent pricing of DroneWorlds MAXX mod upgrade. I just can't justify in the least what they are charging for their mod. I could care less about FPV antennas and blah blah. What I care about as a consumer is maximum control tether to the drone. Video feedback is a second importance but has no real factor vs. a solid and 100% reliable control signal. The drone records 4k quality drone side whether or not my video signal is skipping out or not. It is control I care about.
Can the DBS antenna offer a solid control signal? As a HAM Radio operator, licensed and all, I understand that UHF that the Drone uses for control and video will not penetrate green foliage such as a forest more than a few hundred feet before signal is saturated by the density of the water in the leaves of trees etc.... 40K feet is great if you live in Kansas or New Mexico where there is nothing but open space. So 40K feet is not a marketable point for me living in the dense deciduous forest of Georgia. I need a reliable signal to keep her connected where the stock antenna might drop out.
I am excited at the DBS antenna you guys are talking about because it might just be the best thing for the price hands down.
Ok, if you have read this thread you might have noticed that experience with nanosync is divided. For me it used to work well but only boosted. Now it doesn't anymore cause i shortened 1 cable by 1"...this is clearly not the system for me. It is not stable enough to rely on. I do not like it.
My remote setup including antenna and booster were still quite compact.
Drone-world: I have contacted drone-world several times by mail and contact form. Never-ever i got a reply back. That is also not acceptable so i will not do business with them. I definitely am not interested in that crap-package combo thing full of stuff i do not need. I just needed the circular antennas.
The tx and rx side are further apart and polarization circular.
@CyberNate has good results with this setup too.
To get one of these i contacted FPVLR, now based in San Marino wow such a nice guy. Service like i am the only customer, unique. The rexuav one would cost me double with shipping and customs though it is a copy of what i ordered.
Ideally the antennas should be even further away like mounted on a 1 meter carbonfiber baseplate or something but i do not want to do that.
For signal it is always bad to have something inbetween remote and uav. Even trees, especially pinetrees as far as i was told screw up the 2.4g signal big time.
So i will try this setup when i receive the antenna. If it works the only challenge will be how to fit this in my bag.
I do not recommend the panel antennas but this is my experience. Just try it, they are a bit over 100 bucks and if it does not do the trick you can keep the bracket for mounting other antenna systems, it s really nice.
Jake from maxxuav is a really nice and dedicated person, you can always contact him for more info on these panels though. And who knows, in your area you might just get the extra signal gain you need?!
