Hi gang,
Picked up a pair of those gold colored parabolic reflectors a couple weeks ago from Amazon at the suggestion a fellow droner friend. Put them in my bag and didn’t use them.
Today, I flew out over water to shoot a subject one mile away. I have flown farther than this before with no signal loss. Nevertheless, I started to get two bars, no bars for a second, then four bars. In other words, erratic behavior. So, while the RC was pointing at the bird, I grabbed the parabolic reflectors and slipped them over the antennas.
Instantly, I had a solid four bars, which never waivered once throughout the remainder of my flight.
Just wanted to pass this along... they are worth the small outlay of cash that they cost. The only caveat is that they must be pointed towards the bird at all time, as they are very directional.
Hope this helps...
