Find out if this is the right one of the many sub250 longrange copters which are on the market now, all started by the Flywoo Explorer LR.
They are super light, fly long - even with your standard 4cell 1000-1800mah packs! You can get a LION pack to get crazy long flighttimes...
New test setup: DJI Airunit on Tripod moving away (2.3km) with DJI Goggles and compare achived BITRATES.
I tested with 2 different powersettings (25 and 200mw) and was surprised that even with Stock antennas you could get a connection at 2.3km thru the fog!
- good line of sight (low fresnell zone intersection)
- big time fog!!! (reduces range about 50%?)
- AirUnit got constant 12v power (thru powersupply which was switchable)
- Maple Wireless L+RHCP TX Antennas (look pretty similar to DJI Stock)
Tested antennas (use the jumpmarks to find what you're curious for):
MapleWireless, Deathray 3Turn, 7Turn
DJI Stock, TrueRC Singularity, Foxeer Lollipop
►NEW!: iFlight ChrystalHD https://bit.ly/2ILRKDT
MapleWireless: 4 patches for DJI with left+right polarization? Does it help?
How much better do they work, when you use L+R on the copter?
I also compare Stock vs. TrueRC Singularity vs Foxeer Lollipop.
To do such tests yourself, just use my little script to convert SRT files into excel understandable format, then use my Excel-Sheet to import those and get nice charts automatically. It's what I used here, if you do compareable flights the data can be pretty accurate!
Early September, weather was fine and sunlight available after office hours (pure luxury). This was the best ride & fly adventure so far - hope you like the balance. Riding the bike is actually quite similar to flying the drone (if you try hard enough, you can even get airborne for some extent :)

#DJIFPV#Antennas#test
I was tempted by this rugged drone (cinewhoop), because it is well protected against some bad "mid-air-descisions", it invites you to explore the woods deeper, with DJI FPV you can! Paired with a decent antenna I got really far.
I also liked the idea of using 6cell packs on such a whoop. I dont have similar 4S copters (cinestyle) but I imagine they're quite sluggish and barely keep themselfes in the air - so compared to them this is quite agile.
Just don't compare it to a freestyle drone (like I did) - here they feel slow.
Efficiency is not great, 5mins flighttimes with 6S 1300mah.
Weight:
Copter: 330gr
GP-Mount: 11gr
typical 6S 1300mah ~ 220gr

To order or for questions, please email: henrikjaderstrom84@gmail.com
Designed with low dBm loss, high gain and wide beam width in focus. Keeping the dBm loss at a minimum by eliminating unnecessary connectors and sharp bends in the coaxial cable and increasing the beam width with the angled design.
The antennas are 3D printed and handmade in Sweden. The antenna former and backing support are made from solid black PETG. The reflectors are made from double sided copper/fiberglass PCB board. The coils are made from 1.4mm solid copper wire. The coaxial cable is semi rigid RG402 and the connectors are high quality gold plated RPSMA 90degree connectors.
The antennas are LHCP but he will also make RHCP antennas for custom orders, same price for RHCP but payment in advance. Build time is around 3 days...

#DJIFPV #antennatest #RCSchim
Sunflowers! Once I see the first fields I plan to properly capture their beauty with some low passes at speed ;) And the 2nd part, thr "brando" - the construction site near the road we drive many times in summer - it was an open invitation for a drone freestyle nerd, wasn't it?
When I take the adventure bike for my short way to work, I almost never go the direct route. Sometimes it can take me a bit longer - but it's worth it...
The 6S Emax HawkPro (with DJI) grew to my heart over this summer and is flown a lot - now with the adventure bike it's a killer combination of 2 hobbies that make you feel FREEDOM - only a "matter of time" until they're used to your showing up late @work ;)
Here I was just excited to share my findings about iNav and waypoints (from the perspective of someone who is pretty new to iNav!).
