My amp/antenna build and distance test (I will update thread as i go)

[droneuser]

I got the mount done I made it so I can put it back to the vertical way if I need to

 

[droneuser]

Fyi the weather is killing me hopefully this week sometime I will test panels more

 

[Rnl]

Spend the time and that garage.

 

[Rnl]

Straighten that garage.

 

[Rnl]

Looks like our race shop.

 

[droneuser]

lol I know I should! lol but then I wont be able to find anything! lol lol

Had a chance to do a flight this data is from a 14 dbi panel FLIPPED 90 degrees. The only thing I found out is I had to spend time adjusting the antenna so the Mavic was hovering during this time which used up battery so I had to turn around and come back due to battery getting low I think I could of went out further this weekend if weather is good and if I have time I am going to try another flight. This was the SAME flight path as my other tests were

 

[droneuser]

I also did another flight with the 15 dbi Omni antenna with 4 watt amps.. here is the data for that HOWEVER this flight I went a different path just cause I wanted to fly some place different..lol

Tried this 15dbi, the 9dbi I got from Titan out does them.

Battery is a problem now, think I'll start with the clip.

Battery is a problem now, think I'll start with the clip.

yes I am thinking of the clip too do you have a link for that? and I don't follow what you mean on the 15dbi ant ? the one you posted the 9 dbi does better? if so what would I try thoses?

I got some 15 dbi antennas, been testing them for two days, the 9 dbi antennas I bought from Titan keep a stronger signal.

 

[Rnl]

So I'm thinking quality of antennas are way different, even though they are 15dbi they aren't tuned as good as the 9dbi.

 

[Rnl]

Guessing you would have different results with different antennas of same dbi.

 

[Rnl]

Are you picking up what I'm laying down.

ahhh ok have you check the signal with air data site? maybe its stronger BUT its picking up more inferences

I have a new way to record WHILE using the dji goggles in HDMI mode!!! so now I can see the HD signal in the goggles!!!

notice video is in HD format just a small test video

so now hopefully I can do better testing and wont have to take goggles off to look at HD signal!

 

[droneuser]

I did some test flights today ( not for distance) to test the recorder! seems to work good! I just have to get used to the dji goggles in HDMI mode compare to using them normal! The only thing I would say I don't like about using the goggles in HDMI mode is that "every" little screen glitch the tablet has you also see that in the goggles.

here is a small flights video of this
