4hawks

[mavic.air.pilot.karl]

Hi all, has anyone here tried the 4hawks range extenders? wondering if it’s worth the money. There’s a lighthouse that I’d love to shoot and I just need a little bit more range. I launch from a neighborhood with lots of interference and I do get some lag on the video feed.
Hopefully someone here has input on 4hawks.
Thanks in advance

I have installed a few of them for customers and they seem happy with the range. Anything is better than the Airs standard antennae.

Added some range on mine.

Ok thanks for your replies!

I did modify their bracket slightly so it will fold up a little more.

Are there any antennae replacements besides these you would recommend?

Starz, approx how much more range did you get?
thanks

Nice idea changing it to fold up more too! Thanks for sharing pics

Looked at the install video. 12 seconds in I knew it was above my skill level. Forgot to see if factory installation was available. Anxious to see feedback as to it's improved effectiveness. Looks like a good boost.

This setting I added the 5GHz Boosters which double the range of 4hawks in Urban City full of interference. And I can interchangeable to Omni Antennas too. This DIY mods saves me some $$ if you already got 4hawks and wanted to upgrade boosted antennas. Very happy with this mod.

Range is hard to measure. The area I fly in may be different than others. I have not done any real tests to gather that kind of information. What was noticeable to me was the signal strength bars on the screen not dropping off as quickly. I will get the air out this weekend and try to get some better info for you. I actually have a stock controller also so I can switch between the two. Thunderdrones would be my suggestion on the controller modification.
