Receiving my order of Alientech Duo II for my Mavic Air 2 today, I am very excited..
Now time to install.. I will post the result after test.

Fabulous. I will be looking to get the dual band. Can you recommend a good video guide to set this up? Any help appreciated ?
What I've found is that the Mini 2 remote has the 2.4 ghz and 5.8 ghz bands separated out per-antenna. I have to re-open my remote to trace which is which, but today I ran some flight tests and confirmed (to the best of my ability) that one antenna is dedicated to 2.4 and the other is 5.8 and it's not both frequencies on both antennas. This is important for two reasons: those looking to buy amplifiers will be wasting half their money on an one of two amps that won't do anything. Also, since the antennas are separated, it will matter which one is connected to the alientech DUOii since that antenna has a 2.4 connector and a separate 5.8 connector. It'll be a 50/50 shot at connecting it correctly without knowing for sure. The install guide (which was greatly lacking in crucial detail) also doesn't mention anything about the cables and which to hook up where. Hopefully I'll be able to crack the remote open again tomorrow to trace back the 2.4 antenna to either the W or B connector on the remote's circuit board.
Why dont you ask Alien Tech directly perhaps? They are very prompt on any questions I asked and maybe can give you a more specific guideline on this. It's too their benefit to assist where they can. I think they are actually quite a small company as the chap who responded to me at support was always the same (Simon Kan). I may be wrong though.What I've found is that the Mini 2 remote has the 2.4 ghz and 5.8 ghz bands separated out per-antenna.

Pretty great idea, actually. Thank you. I reached out to DJI, mentioned to MaxxUAV, and posted a few places here about it and haven't heard back from anyone. DJI just kept sending me pictures from the manual showing me where the antennas are located on the Mini 2. ?Why dont you ask Alien Tech directly perhaps?

Just got my alientech duo today and did an unboxing. Also just finally set it up and did a short test. The transmission skyrocketed so look forward to testing it! ?Pretty great idea, actually.
