I enjoyed making this test and shocked what was better and got to thank the guy who made the comment - thank you

With the RC-N2, it is the flat side of the antenna that needs to be facing the drone. This means if the drone is a fair distance away, then you are best to hold the controller almost flat in front of you. If the drone is directly above you, then hold the controller vertically (as you were in the test).

Good to know Pete, many thanks for watching.

Hey Shaun - here in the mountains it is more difficult to use and check these settings - but I use it the way you do... But what I would be interessted in - what is your setting to get the best out of battery life? Should I deactivate some settings to get longer batterie life? Actually I have nearly all turned on - with the result of 15-18 min of flight time? This seems to be rather short - isn´t it? Cheers, Bernd

Hi Bernd, I don't mess with any settings. Check your battery setting at the top of the screen, should show the cells, possible some have lost their power. If I get 20 minutes, that's good. DJI always go over the top with how long they last. Many thanks for watching.

I envy you so much that you have so much consistantly good weather; a far cry from the UK even in the summer. Your coverage of unusual topics on drones is most interesting and a most worthy watch.

@shaunthedrone 4 месяца назад

Many thanks for your comment and yes I'm lucky with the weather and glad you enjoy my videos. Many thanks for watching and the support.

Hi, I am pretty sure the RC-N1 antennas are located inside the black plastic housing, perpendicular to the 2 metal shafts. Therefore, for maximum distance, you should hold your controller horizontally (antennas are vertical) and facing the drone.

Many thanks for the info and thanks for watching.

Indeed! Exactly they are in the plastic part. That’s why you had the worst results with them. You held them in the worst position. You have to point the flat part straight to the drone. Same for the smart Controller! The flat part needs to be pointed to the drone. That’s just how antennas work! How they are designed and need to be used.

Great video buddy , guess what I still haven’t received my drone yet lol . DJI seems to have delivery problems

@shaunthedrone 5 месяцев назад

Thank you Yogi, I hope to get mine before the end of the week, I might get mine before you :)

I read somewhere that it depends on where the drone is in relation to the you/controller. That if the drone is out in front of you, you want the antennas bent up 90 degrees so the back of the antennas are pointing at the drone. But if it is above you, then you want them flat so the front of the antennas are pointing at the drone...

@shaunthedrone 4 месяца назад

Yes good point and a correct one. I'm sure I will be making more of these tests. Many thanks for watching.

Here in Huber Heights, OH, I'm sandwiched between Dayton International and WPAFB. At home, my flight ceiling with military permission, is 100'. Ground altitude here is about 740'. I have LoS about a mile down my road if I turn the strobe night lights for my drone on. It will fly it well with the antennas angled, but not with them straight or at 90 degrees. It was one of the first tests I did, glad to see others doing it as well. Great video, look forward to your next round of testing.

@garylinnane917 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the shout-out. I've noticed it doesn't matter which way you the antennas on the rc2, but I always had better reception with the mini se when the antennas was straight up.

@garylinnane917 4 месяца назад

But saying that, the rc2 has 4 antennas to other remotes only having 2

@garylinnane917 4 месяца назад

How about trying them in the closed locked together position would be interesting.

@shaunthedrone 4 месяца назад

Many thanks for the comment and interesting making the video.

@shaunthedrone 4 месяца назад

Good to know.

@shaunthedrone 4 месяца назад

Good point, I'll add it to my list - watch this space Gary.

@BBCultz 4 месяца назад

I’ve not read all the comments but I know with the RC2 antennas that it’s the flat side of them that sends and receives a signal… so, it’s always going to be best to aim the flat side toward the aircraft.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video - it's a great drone the Mini 4 Pro, you will love it.

@aloeisthestuff9622 4 месяца назад

But what form of Aerial presence does the Radio wave take on from these? Differing systems have different shapes they occupy. We cant see it but it is there. I've got a couple lesser toys with single antenna that emit a Doughnut shaped field while the thing is pointed up or down. That will eat a few brains on here..

@shaunthedrone 4 месяца назад

Good point and one we could talk about for ages on. Many thanks for watching.

@WeretheRoberts 5 месяцев назад

I always forget to extend those pesky antennas. Lol. I think it’s because I added a controller shade cover thing and once I flip up the cover they’re outta sight outta mind. Lol. People tell me all the time I’m doing it wrong. Hahaha

You always want to present as much surface area as possible towards the drone.

Precisely

@lars5727 4 месяца назад

How can we upgrade the distance? 1.5 kilometers I assume? Is not very much imo.

@shaunthedrone 4 месяца назад

It all depends where you fly your drone, some places you will fly short while other places, you can fly for miles, upgrading the distance is a waste of money, that's my opinion. Many thanks for watching.

My RC-1 controller (No screen) works better than the new RC-2 i just bought with built in screen for some reason. I cant go to far at all before I lose signal and it returns home.

@shaunthedrone 4 месяца назад

Many thanks for your info, mine seems to be the same when out flying, sometimes better depending on where I'm flying. Many thanks for watching.

Nice test Shaun I see you had N on one controller and P on other 2 Thanks for testing vid

@shaunthedrone 4 месяца назад

Yes someone else saw this, I notice sometimes while changing to C or S the N pops up for a bit and then goes back to P. Many thanks for watching Anthony.
