Flight and Video Distance

[hoopsdavis]

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if there are settings to improve flight distance. I'm unable to get as far as a mile before getting notifications that Video signal is weak. I get about 1 mile out before the drone lose connection to the control.

It seems I've seen others do much better.

Any help is appreciated.


Thanks

Play with the settings below. Usually lower mgz means better distance. Same goes doe image transmission. Lower res, means longer range.



Also, you might consider replacing the antennas. Autel's OEM antennas have a low dBi. Getting better ones will help you with signal.

@Ansia Thank you I appreciate the information. As far as Antenna replacement, do you have a set that you'd recommend?


Thanks Again

Is there any video or how to on teardown or on installing these new antennas in the EVO remote - or is there a trusted professional installer you would recommend, and an idea of the cost to do so? Fully understand the warranty on the remote would be voided by doing so.

Not that I am aware of. Sorry. I will follow the guide posted originally @Apollo11capcom

Where can you get better antennas? How do you install them?

I will be honest. I tried replacing the antennas and had a huge scare. I would suggest you keep yours OEM. If you feel that you still need to replace them, go to this thread:

Should I Void My Warranty On My Controller

I would like some opinions please. There is nothing wrong with my controller technically speaking. That being said I have seen so many posts on how the antennas are weak and will break if you offend them in some way. I also think the antennas are a bigger issue when you install the LifThor...
