Hi,
having the MA2 for 2 weeks now, I discovered that you have to be very precise how you point the standard controllers antenna to optimize receiption. Compared to the Mavic Pro with the foldable antennas on the RC I have the feeling that MA2 will get the "weak signal" earlier. Outside in open fields with free sight (and being very precise where I point the antenna of the MA2 standard controller) quality of reception seems equal.
So my guess is the old foldable antennas from the Mavic Pro remote control are a bit more "fault tolerant" where to point your controller - and if I am not mistaking the Smartcontroller (which is now compatible) has those foldable antennas as well?
Having said this I'm debating with myself if I should get the smartcontroller (yes and I like them for other features as well, discussed in detail in several threads here), and would like to have your opinion if the smartcontrollers foldable antennas have a benefit in regard to range and the "weak signal" problem.
FYI: flying in CE (which limits range to MA2 to 6 km), compared with Mavic Pro (FCC mod) which should give around 7 km range
thanks,
Stefan
