How Long Do The Motors Last?

[HapK]

Of course there is no exact number of hours but in general, has anyone had a motor burn
out from normal use?
Also, I just got an antenna extender and wondered if anyone has run a test of how much they actually add if anything to your range?
Thanks -

There are quite a few YouTube videos - just search on Mavic and Extender. If you're referring to the $10 slip-on parabolas, the test consensus seems to indicate that yes they do help, so for the price they're worth having in your kit bag. I have them but haven't conducted any sort of controlled test; you need to be aware the unamplified "extenders" simply refocus the RF energy and make it more directional, so keep them pointed at the Mavic or performance will be worse than stock.
