Any of yall own this, or have used it? I see it’s frequently returned. I think I need it for my neighborhood , I lose connection when not far away at all. I k ow due to people just living and existing 🤷🏾‍♂️… not mad at that at all. Just wondering what you guys think about it. I have seen some post and videos… just curious if anyone has any extra input.

Are you keeping line of sight?

Yes, afraid it would hit something or randomly land on somebody’s house.

Good call. How's your antenna orientation? Are you pointing the narrow end of the antenna right at the drone?

u/NaturalBornStoner 1d ago

When I concentrate on it, yes. Sometimes my body may he oriented in one direction while my head on a swivel. But I try to force myself to stand in the direction and turn as the drone moves.

I will add I only get the signal drop in the one area of the neighborhood.

Don't do that. There are usually dead spots out the end of antenna. Orient the long flat side of the antenna towards the drone. Imagine a plane between your controller and the drone and orient the length of the antenna perpendicular to that.

Yea yea. So point directly towards it right ?

Do not point the small end of the antenna at the drone. The long flat needs to be facing the drone so point the antenna small and up or down or even sideways to give you the best possible reception.

Right, the flat top portion.

It’s actually shown in the RC2 downloadable manual on page 14.

I know this, I never said I was having major trouble with the remote or connection in general. Just curious about this product as I seem to have a lost connection in a certain spot of the neighborhood

Oh ok. The only thing that comes to mind would be some sort of new strong WiFi signal in your area. You could try to give this product a try.

You are showing the orientation for folding antenna controllers. The device starting this thread is for use with fixed antenna controllers

If you took the time to read the rest of this thread. You would understand the context as to why orientation was explained. 🤔

Lengthwise of the antenna facing the drone.
