    Air 2 and Air 2s batteries

    How about the Remote Controller? (The grey one). Is it also the same as for MA2? I am asking as I have one modified for Alientech duo. I could imagine Ocusync 3 might be just a software upgradable..

    Air 2s certifications

    Can anyone share a picture of the MA 2S internal (i.e. battery compartment) sticker please? Many colleagues from Europe are eager to see if there any C1 or similar labels there..

    Allientech DUO II - inside !!

    MA2 RC has two antenna ports “W” - dualband RX/TX 2.4 / 5.8GHz and “B” which is a dualband differential-RX only. What Alientech did (as I can see from your quality pictures) - they mixed both ports to the single node. This is why I cannot see in the Alientech manual any labels of the cables and...

    Alientech Duo II

    Thanks to @armyndharis quality pictures I noticed that the Alientech antenna cables should not go straightforward as shown in their video. They should turn right instead. I was bit worried that the cables might now block the important “go home” button, so I decided to pass them just before the...

    Alientech Duo II

    As Raptor SR is passive only, I decided to go with Alientech Duo II, which arrived very fast. Regrettably my first assembly attempt was not very successful. Actually I find two things to be a major pain in the rear: opening the RC and connecting antenna cables to the board. I managed to overcome...

    Alientech Duo II

    The RF Power meter v2 came. It seems smaller than in the pictures and makes to me an impression of being more like a tester (or a toy) rather than a real meter. I hope I will learn how to apply, interpret (and trust) the results with time. Now to the results: only the right RC antenna (looking...

    Is there any hardware difference between MA2 RC231 remote US and EU version?

    Tnx for sharing. Tend to agree. The question was more related though to e.g. boost capabilities, performance (or other hardware differences) rather than the normal FCC vs CE topic. People reported e.g. performance differences flying in CE mode in similar environments. Just wanted to point out...

    Is there any hardware difference between MA2 RC231 remote US and EU version?

    Someone mentioned to me that MA2 remote controller US version might had a more powerful RF finals (transmitter), compared to the EU version. I have seen already three EU controllers’ serial numbers starting with 1WPZ and one US controller with serial starting with 1WPB. Is it possible that the...

    Alientech Duo II

    All clear - thanks for sharing. I just ordered in UK an IMMERSIONRC RF POWER METER v2 and intend to continue your research. (It may take several weeks to deliver though.) I expect the B antenna to be the secondary receiving antenna (on 95%). Remaining 5% of probability I leave for some weird...

    Draining Phone Battery

    In the cold weather the iPhone battery performance is dramatically decreased. This effect is especially visible if the battery is not new and if the app uses high %CPU. Therefore the RC phone charging setting got to my checklist.

    Alientech Duo II

    For example, in LTE routers one can find a multiband primary (RX/TX) and a multiband secondary antenna (receive only). The two antennas are orthogonal and needed for the differential receive. I have to say I was bit surprised to hear that instead of such a differential setup, the RC might use...

    Alientech Duo II

    Very valuable information! Looking further at some RC teardown Chinese movie I found that Black 5.8GHz seems connected to the left stock antenna and the White 2.4GHz on the right side, looking from the pilot view. I just ordered two Yagi’s for 2.4 and 5.8 respectively. I intend to cut them and...

    Mavic Air 2 Range

    The reduced range might result from radio interferences or hardware issue. Just an idea came to my mind: The RC phone holder contains two (vertically positioned) antennas. The outer rim of an iPhone is actually also an antenna, virtually touching the RC antennas. I suspect that close high-power...
