Nice. But then, the regular RC signal itself never went below 4 bars, so it never actually switched to cellular in this test flight. What I'd imagine this being really useful for, is flying low and behind obstructions which would cause the regular O4 transmission to struggle.
I have the dongle 2 from DJI in the Netherlands and it works fantastic!!! As soon as the controller no longer has a signal, the dongle takes over the signal. so you can fly further and lower without limits! awesome !!
Hi Tim, ik heb de dongle vandaag geïnstalleerd maar krijg geen verbinding. Lampje blijft rood knipperen. Heb er een actieve simkaart van Vodafone in gedaan. Doe ik iets verkeerd? Of ligt het aan de provider?
What did you actually test - not the dongle. You did not loose the regular drone signal and fly with the 4G signal. I think you have misunderstood the purpose of this dongle.
Completely ridiculous YT since u're never disconnected from remote controller I can tell ❤️. And yes I've tested this thoroughly myself - disconnected from RC and ONLY running live connection over 4G network. TGIF ❤️
You gave the impression that the 4g dongle Performs well but you never actually lost remote signal. Everyone else who has tested the 4g dongle properly has said it has been a failure
Tested thoroughly in urban areas. Works as advertised perfectly. If u're using any phone operator w bad coverage or in rural areas or at heights above 120m AGL u're getting weak 4G coverage for obvious reasons I can tell ❤️
With the mini 4 pro do you really have to buy the mount to attach it? Couldn't you use any velcro strap to hold it in place. £20 is too much just for that
@@olabergvall3154 Yea, I'm not too interested unless there is new ground breaking technology in the battery industry which I don't see happening anytime soon. I took my Mini 3 Pro 12km and back on Intelligent Plus Battery and 14km and back on custom double battery from AliExpress.
So my question ia what happens if the wifi signal drops out? Will return to home still kick in and bring the drone back? Phone dies as an example. Also is it finally available in the US??
Great questions, I have no idea but I’m also not willing to test that 😧 It should be available in the US soon, hopefully. Follow here for more details: linktr.ee/danstubetv
If I understand this correctly you don’t have to put a SIM card in the 4G dongle in your drone but I use the SIM card from your phone by means of a hotspot. But how can your drone use the SIM card in your phone when it’s let say 500 meters away from you and it looses the RC connection?
You are placing dji dongle 2 modem into drone. As any 4g modem it needs sim card. Did you even read dji documentation or their official tutorial on this?
Hey Dan, I have a Mini SE & have experienced "range limitation" warnings a couple times on recent flights where I could not fly the drone forward. Both times it was a little windy but not extremely. What causes this? Is this normal with all DJI models? Thanks!
I use Ok2Fly for aerodromes. You might need to check Google Maps for what’s in the area and then go to the website of the building/location to contact them.
I don't think we went far enough in that flight for RC to be weak enough for 4G to take over at any point did we ?! Also, YMMV as to what is required to operate this legally. In the UK for example, you can't just buy any old sim card and use that, you need a specialised one only sold directly by service providers, and you actually need an OFCOM license as well !
Yep, seems a strange decision for DJI to sell this to be fair. The older 4G LTE dongle for the Mavic 3 series and Mini 3 was only available for sale in China although is possible to buy from Aliexpress - I know as have two myself for internet access for controllers. Similarly would need special SIm and OFCOM licence to use that for "enhanced transmission".
that actually really cool didn’t even know that exist hopefully they do the same thing for the air 4 in the future because I would like to buy such a thing because I’m a range junky and I like to fly far with mine meaning with my mini 3 pro
@@achristofides No nor me to be honest , rather pointless, anyway really we need the drone in sight at all times really . Darren @ this UK channel is very on the ball with his drones and he has a few different DJI's this is his oppinion on the dongle , spot on too I think ruclips.net/video/T6TSXsja-OM/видео.html&ab_channel=DMProductions God bless you and thanks for the reply 🙂 David from North Wales
One biggie of course is that you are using Chinese servers free for the first year then only about 20 dollars or so per year but the biggie is that all of your video is going via Chinese servers. I'm sure I'm being overly paranoid... I'm sure.
I can’t turn on the Enhanced transmission, if I try on main screen it won’t even turn blue but if I go into transmission menu and turn it on there it turns blue but when I go out of transmission menu it turns back to gray so it’s off, I tried everything with updates and still no go.

But you claim "Unlimited Drone Range" knowing that it's Not Unlimited. Then you want people to take you serious! Come on.
The only limitation now is battery life but this dongle effectively gives you unlimited range with your drone…
Nice. But then, the regular RC signal itself never went below 4 bars, so it never actually switched to cellular in this test flight.
What I'd imagine this being really useful for, is flying low and behind obstructions which would cause the regular O4 transmission to struggle.
Exactly I’m trying to travel 2 miles in high interference urban area .. but over certain homes the signal
Check out the recent test that I’ve done on my channel. RC signal was lost and 4G was used for the flight.
You did wrong test, actually didnt tested dongle at all, firstly to check how it works, you need to loose signal from RC
Oops 🙊 I’ve uploaded a revised test where the RC signal is lost and I’m using the 4G dongle exclusively. Check that video out on my channel 📶
@@DansTubeTV Where is the video because I can't find it with a Mini Pro 4
I only have one other test with the Air 3: ruclips.net/video/Rz4rRgbHUL0/видео.htmlsi=SmK7cl5ReAjJoUf0

Does DJI rent the dongle to you or how it is?
no, i bought it from dji store. 169 euros including DJI mini pro 4 mount kit
Welke provider heb je genomen voor je simkaart ?
I’ve got a new video on my channel showcasing the true 4G flight without signal from my RC.

New video on the channel showcases the 4G flight properly.
Wrong test … you didn’t lost RC signal
I have repeated the test and done it properly this time. Check out my channel.

It works perfectly flying once 4G takes over for me, Scotland 😊
Check out my new video, I do a proper 4G flight.
If your wifi drops out..phone dies or something will RTH still work? Will the drone come back on its own??
That is a great question, I have no idea and I’m not willing to test it 😦
With the mini 4 pro do you really have to buy the mount to attach it? Couldn't you use any velcro strap to hold it in place. £20 is too much just for that
You could use a velcro strap but it might not be completely secure.
Whats the max range you can push this using the 4g network ?
Battery sets the limit
@@olabergvall3154but be a bit conservative, because it can fly up to 10km away
@@olabergvall3154 Yea, I'm not too interested unless there is new ground breaking technology in the battery industry which I don't see happening anytime soon. I took my Mini 3 Pro 12km and back on Intelligent Plus Battery and 14km and back on custom double battery from AliExpress.
Battery life and rules and regulations for your country.
As others have pointed out this did not test 4G at all. "DM Productions" did a more proper 4G failover test a week ago and the 4G failed miserably.
Strange he is the only one having the problem , everyone else loves it including me 😊
@@uptowndisco2 it is because these dumb RUclipsrs know notching about technology and how 4g bands works

the first dongle DJI brought out works fine on my mini 3 pro and my mavic 3
Nice one!
Will this definitely going to work going to work ok my Airtwo S drone.
This is only for select DJI drones.
If I understand this correctly you don’t have to put a SIM card in the 4G dongle in your drone but I use the SIM card from your phone by means of a hotspot. But how can your drone use the SIM card in your phone when it’s let say 500 meters away from you and it looses the RC connection?

You need to insert a SIM card into the DJI Cellular Dongle 2 and then hotspot to the RC 2 with another internet connection (mobile hotspot).
Hey Dan, I have a Mini SE & have experienced "range limitation" warnings a couple times on recent flights where I could not fly the drone forward. Both times it was a little windy but not extremely. What causes this? Is this normal with all DJI models? Thanks!
Make sure that you are in an open area, facing the drone with the controller, if there is any interference then the range will drop hugely.
Thanks. I was wondering if the area had restrictions since it's a historical building. What's the easiest way to check for that? Thanks
I use Ok2Fly for aerodromes. You might need to check Google Maps for what’s in the area and then go to the website of the building/location to contact them.
Great idea,PIC'S in the US users must have VLOS at all times unless completing a Waiver.
Yes!
So what’s the overall battery drain ?? When using it
It is not noticeable. I would imagine it would use minimal battery life to power the dongle.
Can you please Provide a Link where this can be purchased?
Dji website
You will be able to find it here once it is available in your country: linktr.ee/danstubetv
Are there any of these available for dji fpv drone?
Not that I know of.
Hello Dan,where can I buy this dongle.i can't seem to find it.thank you🤠😎😁🇺🇸!!
It is only available in select countries. Keep an eye out 👁️
Good review thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching. I have another video on the channel showcasing a true 4G flight without an RC connection.
For the rc2 does it have to be your phone for hot spot can one use another 4 G dongle to hot spot your rc2
You can use any hotspot , you can even sit inside your house and fly using your home network
Does the dongle have a sim in it? do you to purchase separately or is the dongle using your phone sim?
Any hotspot will work, pocket wifi, a 4G dongle, local wifi or anything that can give you a connection.
I don't think we went far enough in that flight for RC to be weak enough for 4G to take over at any point did we ?!

@@achristofides give up with "ofcom". It's only a thing for UK tea drinkers, lmao
Check out my latest video on the dongle. I showcase a true 4G flight when the RC disconnects.
Where can I purchase the dongle?
It isn’t available everywhere. Keep an eye out here: linktr.ee/danstubetv
@@DansTubeTV thank you
Is this in Australia?… which network works best ? I use Telstra
It's for European union currently I think
I used this in Australia, I was using Vodafone. Check my links, the dongle should be available soon 🔗 linktr.ee/danstubetv
that actually really cool didn’t even know that exist hopefully they do the same thing for the air 4 in the future because I would like to buy such a thing because I’m a range junky and I like to fly far with mine meaning with my mini 3 pro

Can I connect it to mini 2?
I don’t believe so.
Is this available in New Zealand now?
Not just yet, hopefully soon. Follow this link for details on the release: linktr.ee/danstubetv
Got a friend in Sydney I want him to get it for me please send me the link to buy from as i can’t see it on the one you advertised
It isn’t available to buy in Australia just yet. Keep an eye on my links: linktr.ee/danstubetv
That’s what I wanted to know thanks
At 900 meters before the 4G was there a problem
No problem. I’ve got a new video on the channel where the RC disconnects and I’m flying with the 4G dongle exclusively.
Not available in North America.
😮
Hopefully soon, stay tuned here: linktr.ee/danstubetv
I believe next mini 5 pro no need dongle, just put sim card to drone
That could be awesome!
thanks again
Thanks for watching!
You seem to misunderstand how this works.
I’ve got a new test on the channel that showcases the 4G flight properly.
Aliexpress been selling theses long before 😂
But for China, not for European union bands
Yes, they would have different versions for different countries.
Thanks for the Review, Dan.
Thanks for watching!
Doesn't look like America will be getting this anytime soon.
Hmmm, I don’t know the release plan for the U.S.
Illegal to use in the UK without a licence from OFCOM and special SIM card....
Yes and you have to pay a monthly fee for the UK sim card I think
@@Pure-Crystal-Fire to be honest I can't really see a use case for this apart from people flying well beyond VLOS...

I'm sure I'm being overly paranoid... I'm sure.
it would be great if i could pay you to order one for me and send it to me to USA! let me know if you could do this for me!!
I can’t order them in Australia yet. This was a review unit. They should be available soon.
Bam?
I hear that a lot, so funny! 🤣
Your test proved nothing, you didn't even lose the regular drone signal once in that test
He doesn’t want to lose it 😂
New test on my channel.
I can’t turn on the Enhanced transmission, if I try on main screen it won’t even turn blue but if I go into transmission menu and turn it on there it turns blue but when I go out of transmission menu it turns back to gray so it’s off, I tried everything with updates and still no go.
If your phone has a SIM card in it, remove the SIM PIN code security, it may work, I've had that too.
@@timappelman2520 why would you use pin code in sim...
Make sure that you’re connecting your controller to a personal hotspot.
