FCC or CE mode?

[josecarlosss]

Hi guys, about the FCC mode, what do you prefer, is it for you more stable for you? I don't mind to go more than 1km away but is it worth to switch to FCC?

Thanks

FCC is more stable. After 500m at Urban areas the Drone was disconnected until I changed mine to FCC, however even if I can't reach 1km I don't have laggy image. The great difference between the two modes is when I fly at surroundings

FCC is stronger which often equates to a better signal at most distances.

Thanks guys. So it's worth to switch to FCC. Will I have any issue with the warranty?

No. You do not have any issue with the warranty. You can have big troubles with law, if your country does not permit FCC. In Europe FCC mode is officially illegal, even if many people use it for long range flight, and also because the signal is stronger and more stable than CE mode. I don't know the situation in England after the Brexit, but it is easy to check with a simple search on Google.

How many have been fined for using FCC frequencies in CE areas?

How is it possible they can understand which mode we are using on our Mavic Air if we don't fly illegal??

I'm sure it's technically possible and it might cause interference with other devices.

I have no idea and, basically, I don't care.
If unfortunatly you cause any damage with your drone , the flight record reports your fliing mode, your insurance will not cover the damages and you can be persecuted by law. However you can evaluate the risk and decide if it is worth or not, but you cannot recommend an illegal behaviour, in special mode on a public forum.

You're not in a position to speak definitively. They might not cover and I might be prosecuted...

Besides, drone pilots are used to being persecuted.

I'll take the enhanced signal strength.
