I have been using this product for a month, probably 12 flights with my phantom 4 adv drone. very happy with function and comfort until....... the clip in the photo let go. It is poor quality, my controller fell to the ground and snapped off one of the two dji antennas, breaking the connection cable.
It was during a flight, thankfully I didn't lose the drone. I assume if the phantom had lost connection, it would have done RTH. ( I have had 2 of those events ). I haven't yet researched the cost of the repair. I was able to pick the controller up off the ground, no controls had been accidentally activated, I was able to fly the drone back.
You can see in the photo, the clip will not self close. I have contacted Bower.
Now for the antenna. I haven't called dji yet. Any advice? Is this user replaceable? I hate losing the flight time. Happy the P4 returned on one antenna. Do I lose range if I fly with a single antenna?
I wish I had looked closer at the clip in the first place. replacing it with a carabiner/split ring arrangement would have been more secure in any case.
