DJI Cellular Adapter 2 part 3

OldGuy · Jul 20, 2024

Tried flying from my usual site which is a hill overlooking the sea. Unfortunately my Mini 4 and RC 2 have developed connection problems so testing was difficult and inconclusive. Again I failed to make the O4 lose signal and engage the SIM card dongle. I tried flying down and behind the hill but that didn’t work. Landing the done to change batteries resulted in disconnection between the RC 2 and Mini 4 Pro. In the end I gave up and went home. I am now returning the Mini 4 to Amazon for repairs/replacement!
Apologies to anyone interested all I can say I have the feeling that the adapter will work and I look forward to trying again once my Mini 4 Pro has been sorted.

I've watched a live test of this thing and the only way the bloke got it to kick in was in a high noise urban environment and well out of VLOS.

The 4G connection was a bit sketchy (I suppose down to passing off from one cell tower to another) but in principle: a good investment if you can justify BVLOS.

Impressed.... just don't know if I'm impressed enough to fork out for one, especially seeing as the O4 connection seems to verge on the bomb-proof. Now if it worked with O2 drones like my mav. 2's.... A definite Bezos Express Delivery.
