    Mavic Mini FCC Canada- No 2.4 and Poor range

    Yeah I don't contest that CE version can easily go over 2km. I have the FCC and I am really frustrated with the range. It would make sense for the CE to go father as its 2.4ghz have more penetration than 5ghz, thus achieving longer ranges. I have been watching many range test on youtube - most...

    Mavic Mini FCC Canada- No 2.4 and Poor range

    @Parayagi you are right, I do have the parabolic and the 3d printed 5.8 yagis. I was using them both at the same time. @Ace.7 I was flying my mini out on a relatively wide park. I was doing my range test from a park through the stretch of railway. There were some establishments here and there...

    Looking for Mini Replacement parts

    I got my mavic mini broken recently. I was doing a range test with my new parayagi 5.8 ghz, and got a max range of 600m at the point of signal disconnection. It landed on a parking lot due to signal lost (the setting was set to descend, not return to home; my mistake) and so yeah. I am looking...

    Mavic Mini FCC Canada- No 2.4 and Poor range

    @Kilerpl I understand your frustration! I live in Canada and I can attest to all of what you just said: 4 bars in only 5.8, and poor range. My max range ever was 600m. That same flight was also the doomsday of my mavic mini :(. I was doing a range test with 5.8 parayagi and little did I know...

    Clear Casing Mavic Mini - Very Interesting Mod

    There's a lot of things to be optimistic about this! 1.) You can essentially have unlimited casings for your drone, so you wont even ever have to worry breaking it. 2.) You can get longer flight times due to lower weight of casings 3.) Knowing that this could be done, it opens up a new world...

    Clear Casing Mavic Mini - Very Interesting Mod

    I just recently watched this video from youtube and I thought it was cool! And now that making new cases is possible, what do you guys think of the possibility of finding the best thermoset plastic that is stronger and lighter than the origibal case?? What do you guys think?

    Wi-Fi extenders

    I have recently stumbled upon this video on youtube where the guys went to compare homemade parabolic reflector, off-the-shelf parabolic reflector and then a yagi uda antenna. So far, Im leaning towards the yagi uda antenna mod as it is relatively cheap and actually provide range boost EDIT...
