Thanks for replying. So are you saying that the supposedly missing 5.8GHz amplifier is not missing or just that this boosts the RC signal a bit more? I wonder if anyone made a video pre-boost, post-boost same conditions with and without parabolic and/or yaggis :)

This link is not accessible I'm afraid. Also I thought the CE version lacked the FCC amplifier physically meaning it would simply not really perform great. I used a 'gps hack' method back when the mini first launched and it would seem to be in FCC but I did not notice and real improvements to...

Thanks But I'm also using a yagi on CE version so if I'm not perfectly in the right direction in both planes I'm not able to push far :)

Hi, I love to fly my mini over wild areas and over the sea for long distances. I realise that I may not be keeping the RC antenna well facing the AC in both horizontal and vertical planes. Most likely I'm good in regards to my orientation but the elevation possibly could be better. I've seen...

Well I realised after the fact that I had 1 telemetry: the battery indicator on the RC were solid :) But yeah more would've been good too. On the flip side you feel 1 way about losing a USD 400 drone and another for a USD 1500+ Although tbf my wife would've killed me either way and dead is dead ?

Yep.. usually when I get RC lost it's very short (couple seconds) so I keep pushing my sticks in the direction I want to go. This time lost connection and saw that the drone was still going so I thought it'll come back. If that happens again I'll 1. check the lights on the RC (fixed means still...

You're likely right. I ran the logs through airdata and it showed perfect connection throughout and in fact since I pressed the RTH button well before going in the house it was on its way back already at that stage. The blinking lights are a good check thank you for that tip And yes I do think...

So I was doing my usual flight to check my property about 500m away. I fly from a rooftop, never a signal issue at about 40-50m above ground level. I'm not in an urban location. I've done that tons of times since I got the mini. Today I'm headed out, line of sight straight line to the drone and...

That makes perfect sense now, thanks for the explanation. My S7E has indeed an exynos processor. Have you toyed with symlinks to point the dji folder to the sd card? Asking just in case you got any issues doing it.

I've had the N/A (unable to change speed modes) or situations where the speed mode is locked and cannot be changed. Only fix I had (even in flight) was to terminate the dji fly app and reopen it. I guess it's not fixed. I always thought this was related to my low space on my Galaxy S7E Also...

Amazing, many thanks! I'll work on that while I wait for better weather (25kmph wind 35kmph gusts)

Hi, The only pic I saw was for 5.8GHz not 2.4 and I saw someone mention a calculation which says distance between elements should be 0.4 x wavelength = 49.96mm for 2.4GHz but no mention on where the antenna should sit. The pictures show it at uneven distances to adding to the confusion... Oh...

I still can't find a diagram with exact distance between the elements in the 2.4GHz version

Does anyone have the actual Distance between directors/dipole/RC Antenna and Reflector? Everywhere I see just length of each but not distance in between. Also is 3mm necessary for the elements or does it not matter much? Having trouble finding materials while in confinement. Thanks!
