I have FCC mavic mini (bought from Australian website and shipped from HK to the UK). I expected I would be sent a CE model but guess I got lucky as the FCC model has a more capable RF module in the Tx.

I’ve found parabolic antenna boosters help to get a strong clear signal. Best solution for more range for me was purchasing the drone “boost mode” hack upgrade from drone-hacks.com. It patches the remote control firmware so it always uses FCC mode (equivalent power) regardless as to which FLY...
