HD-Mode or regular?

[Stickybit]

Hi all,

Yesterday I spoke to a fellow drone pilot about the Regular and HD-Mode which can be switched within the settings of the Smart controller.
I read somewhere you experience less range issues when using the regular mode. When I switch I see the bandwith used drop from around 11 Mb/s to 6 Mb/s. So I think it’s fair to say it uses less and should help on bad connections or connections which should travel longer (flights from 1 Km away and up).

Does somebody know which setting is better for range?

HD-Mode will show a better picture on the screen, so if it’s not affecting the range I will stay with HD

We use the Smooth and Auto in the Transition setting on the Smart Controller for best Long Distance signal.

HD mode uses a higher bandwidth communication which makes it more likely to fail when the signal gets weak.
