Our small volunteer fire dept just bought a Tundra “moving” 10k lumen lighting system for our Mavic-3 (original model). It is unbelievable! The light output is excellent and from 300’ AGL it illuminates 1/3 of a football field. (High school field, I’m not sure what a professional size field...

Now the Alientech Duo-2 and Duo-3?? I’m beginning to believe they are a complete waste of money. Our testing (vol. fire dept) shows very little “real world” improvement in range/distance/penetration of the drone to controller comms. We performed unscientific testing the other day. Don’t...

Forgot to mention = The “adapter” I recommended is from the manufacturer of the most popular directional antenna/bidirectional amp devices for drones. Alientech states they custom fabricate these “adapter bars” using very good quality hardware and has excellent fit & finish. A bit pricey...

High_Order1 sounds like he’s exaggerating. I’ve heard that can use up to 1500 feet of lamp cord and alligator clips instead of proper (and $ pricey) RF termination. LOL Actually,he is 100% correct! It’s great that the issue was brought up. I’m a retired EE and mostly worked in the RF side...

We just received an Air-3s and RC2 today. Using this to compare 03 and 04 using a Mavic-3 (original model) and RC-Pro, RCN1 , RC and a “modified” RC-Plus. btw: I need help with a “bricked” RC-Plus and left info in another thread. Looking to hire an Android/RC-Plus firmware flashing expert $$)...

I was about to suggest the RC-Plus with Alientech ”adapter bar” for your scenario, but then saw RC2 (O4).

For around $80 bucks, Alientech (Alientech.cn) makes an “adapter bar” that has 2 male RF connectors on one side and 2 QMA connectors on the other side. It’s made for use with their Duo-2 Duo-3 amplified antenna units and is outstanding for that use. It’s very well made and makes everything so...

btw : For anyone who owns one of these modified RC-Plus controllers: As far as I can tell, there is NOT a way to eliminate the “auto update” prompts. You CAN disable the updates to the “Fly” app, but that seems to be a function that is safe to execute and the seller had advised that updating...

⚠️ Help from the experts! Our small volunteer fire department has 2 Mavic-3 (original model) drones and chose the RC-Plus controller from eBay. I know…. The Plus is not compatible with “Fly” app and the Mavic-3. These 2 controllers were “modified” and came from a Chinese eBay seller that no...
