Antenna mod for Mavic Mini?

[Thomas B]

I modified my MM RC with antennas I picked up from ebay and did not really gain much from stock. The signal/antennas are finicky. One second full signal, next minute completely dropped signal. I ended up demodding and replaced the stock antennas and added a parabolic dish and have easily flown 12000ft from my home-point. I have just settled that this was never meant to be more than what it is. Plenty of people have pushed the package and lost this tiny-tot with plenty of evidence posted in this forum.

Most antenna signal boosters, powered and passive reflectors use a focus of the signal to improve range. This makes a very narrow control signal beam and so requires MUCH more attention to pointing same directly at your drone.

Yes. Very true. The gains of the modified antennas just did not justify keeping them for me. Plus, they added more size factor for travel and storage on the remote.
