what's your experience been with this setup vs. stock?

My stocks set up works much better than this in the city but in the country it's amazing too much interference in the city for this setup

Hello.
I got the same 4w amps you showed from Amazon.
Have you just removed the black metal casing??
Does it offer much of a weight saving as there **** heavy as standard.
Thanks for your time.

No, but getting the new version which has built in booster today. I will be testing it for MaxxUAV. I may need to do some installation, so it might be a couple days before I get some results.

Ever get the results of the testing? Very interested in an antenna with boosting built in.

It's a good solution. Not quite as good as my RexUAV antenna with boosters, but still good. Many are running it and see much better performance than stock.

The NanoSync works very well boosted or stock. I'm running the complete boosted kit and it does a real good job.

But this one does just a tad better.

Can you post parts list for your mod?

sprtbkrydr · Sep 6, 2017

it's just the complete NanoSync kit from MaxxUAV and the REX antenna.

EvoLite Kit Plus (Mavic Pro Edition)

It would be great if there was a setup that you could just add on without having to upgrade the controller. The current add ons that you can just slip on are not that great

sprtbkrydr · Sep 6, 2017

yeah there's not any that I know of that you don't have to mod the controller. The Cyclone would be good for something quick and easy.

Yea I was thinking of something to modify my signal strength. Im interested in doing some City shots. Being able to navigate through the all the interference that comes with the city is what I need the most.

Like I said you may want to take a look at the Cyclone then. Everyone is claiming that it does real good with interference. I think I'm going to try one myself just to see how well they do work.

I agree. While it's certainly not economical, I just bought a brand new second controller and sent it to UAVMaxx for them to modify for me. Now I've got a normal stock controller and a modified controller that I can use depending on what I'm doing.

Can't wait to hear how the modded one differs from stock, pls report back to all of us.

I've had it now for about a month and it's fantastic! Flying from my back deck with the stock controller I get around 2,500 feet at BEST (usually in the 1,700 range) before the signal gets super dodgy.

With the evolite kit (boosted) I've gone as far as 7,500 feet!!

The environment that I'm flying in is tough because I have a few tall trees very close to my launching spot and tons of wifi congestion all around.

The nice thing about the evolite kit is that I don't have to focus so much on pointing my controller right at my drone. It helps to be directionally correct but it doesn't have to be exact.

I'm very pleased.

I may luck up on one and find it on ebay and do the same that would be cool.

The Evolite kit definitely works. I haven't done a long range test yet, but it maintains strong signal (3-4 bars) at 6k meters, where the stock remote w/ reflector is pretty well done. I think I've done ~6200m on the stock remote, but that's at near zero signal.
