About six weeks ago I lost my Mavic Pro Platinum in a collision with a high wire (a real high wire - 125+ feet). My grandson was flying but I was right over his shoulder. It was my fault. Anyway, when I found out DJI would not sell me just a drone (didn't even need a battery), I went to the market. I bought a brand new Platinum but the seller was a much more accomplished and sophisticated flyer than myself and the drone came with a customized controller (he was clear in his description of this, so I'm not blaming him). Here are some technical details:
Mavic Pro remote controller converted by replacing original antennas with QMA connectors for use with an Alientech Pro 2.4G amplified antenna or Alientech Duo. Can use other 2.4ghz antennas with the use of QMA adapters for SMA or RP-SMA connections. This controller also has SilencioRC custom firmware (paid version) to silence the annoying beeping on start-up, shut-down, return to home and button presses.
Now, other than extending the drone's range (which I'm not interested in doing), are there any other reasons that I should use this unit instead of my "stock" controller? The seller told me it would cost another $125 or so to buy the Alientech antenna. Is it worth it? I'm thinking not since I'm not getting much activity trying to sell it. If it really is so much better, maybe I'll just suck it up and try to learn it's capabilities and use it!
