Received my UAV 2.4 antennas today.. many thanks
Not sure I can fit them both. but will start with one.
I did a flight today.. got to 500m ( without your ant on the vision.. Vision was still good, but lost control.. with the old 5.8 ibcrazy helical.. Will have to wait another week or so for the dual ant that I ordered this morning from your site..
I suspect the U.fl cable is not good as I suspected better control range.. Hoping your dual version solves the problem.
On another point.. I am using a Dronexpert gimbal. and am not in a position to say its not my best investment. The whole frame is sagging.. the dampers have compressed, and the while unit shakes???.. not impressed.
Another issue is the IOS app.. My screen froze and lost all telemetry.. The bird did return home, but hope DJI update the app soon!!
I am also waiting for a delivery of a lens for the camera, and will check all wiring when I got the camera open.. not convinced the pigtail on the 5.8 point is good.
Lots to look forward to!!
hi there , loosing control at 500 meters , something is wrong there ,throw those crappy U.FL for decent ones, there are some crappy U.fl cables around so changing them out is a good idea, the dual antennas is 12 dB slightly longer but more manageable as it all contained in one antenna, the 2,4 GHz LHCP is Silver elements and the 5.8 inside is 24k Gold elements,the patch cable are hI quality silver plated, so putting crappy U.fl on the defeats all that if they are dummy loads !!. you must make sure all the signal path is perfection !!.
the shipments will be going out after the Bank Holiday, so hope you get them soon.
One other note is to take Full advantage of this antenna you really need SP x 2 on the RC control end ( see video mod) as you have then true LHCP and no mulitpath, it will work if you do not do this but not at peak performance that the phase rotation matching would give if you did.
