Frequency

[Music One]

I have looked at 'n' amount of videos on youtube and do select the frequency each time I fly to check the best channel available. The question is though which in the opinion of the forum members is REALLY best to fly with 2.4 or 5.8.
Just got my 4 hawks xr for my Air. I never fly out of vlos and hopefully this will help some in the picture signal andany outside interference.

With the utmost respect, as you have looked at ‘n’ amount of videos perhaps you can try the search function on the forum and look at ‘x’ amount of threads already covering this subject. (There are a lot).

An example of just two:

2.4 5.8 Mavic Air

Do most members here select either 2.4 or 5.8 on the day at the place of flying or do you just leave it on auto. Am I right in understanding that the longer the green line the better.

2.4 or 5.8 GHZ in heavy wifi area?

Anyone know the best frequency?

Auto will serve you well- particularly given you aren’t testing the limits of the tech within VLOS range.

Tons of information on this site. Search button is a great tool.

I personally would use auto settings. 2.5 will give longer range, but it depends on congestion. I have found that improving the antenna with your set up, or even one of those slip on dishes, plus connecting to the controller via cable makes a noticable difference. I think the controller's wifi connection to you display can cause it's own interference. A friend and I did some testing and found the best results using both.

The 4 Hawks XR kit looks amazing but it seems to be overkill for someone who never flies out of VLOS. If you're using FCC mode, as opposed to CE, you should be able to far exceed the range of your eyeballs.

The connection is wired on the Air.
