Wow! This was incredible to watch from beginning to end! Once I got my dji rc, I thought I wouldn't be using the N1 anymore. It's not the case now. Excellent work!!
@@MultiPRAYAS I've learned if there's no talking and shitty music playing there will NEVER be a range test. These kinds of people never deliver. Also wtf at ripping apart the entire thing when he could have just soldered pads onto the antenna internally and ran it from there?!?
Wouldn't these antennas use more power and than previous and is hardware capable for upgrade as it could cause overheating or worse short circuit in future
Hi Alex. Thank you for sharing your work it will make it much easier for me once my cables arrive. I have these APA-M25's on a Spark and they have transformed it.
@@alex.semeniuk Why not just drill into the sides of the head where the antennas are and solder a tap into the line there and have them mounted on the outside? This seems like a LOT of trouble to go to just to access something that is in a small plastic capsule that you could just break open or drill into. Also why not add a 20db amplifier to it while you're at it? Do you know which is the send and which is the receive side of the antennas? When the controller is in your hands, is the left send, or is the right send?

I thought the same thing, probable engineers knew about diy enthusiast and probably placed antenna outside to mingle with without risking hardware such as reapplying cooling pasta
Love the work just want to know what size the wire connectors are that connect to the remote mother bored the small pin sizes I know the big ones just wanted to know the small pin size ?
FANTÁSTICOS VÍDEO 🤟🏻 Q: porque no pasaste los cables de las antenas, cada uno por el tubo metálico independiente??, no se puede o está tapado, o se ocupa en otra cosa??
If the rc pro has two u.fl/ipex connectors then it would be fine. If not, adding an extra would most likely change the impedance, resulting in possible damage to the WiFi radio from impedance mismatch.
I saw the new DJI Air 3 comes with Occusync 4 and has 4 antennas. (This will possibly on the future Mini 4 as well). There is also a Occusync 4 version of this called the RC-N2. Do you think the RC-N2 can be modded with 4 antennas. Or will it need added plate like the Alientech for the RCN1.
@@harryemery92 Hi. Have a Dji Air 3 and RC N2. Could you please give some info about your mod ? What's the difference between black and white wires here ? frequencies ? 2.4 and 5.8 Thanks in advance
@@roy4359 Finding any information about modding these is terribly hard, I feel for you there. I would suggest getting a SmallVNA or something like that and seeing what signals you can see on those wires and reverse engineer it yourself and get back to us and tell us what you found please.
Привіт, підкажи будь ласка. На платі у всіх контролерів DJI розєми UFL для підключення антен? Чи можливо вивести розєми в якомусь іншому місці а не там де зробив ти (замість антен) і чи можливо вмістити туди N type замість SMA?
@Angelo-krto Likely just a few inches, but the more you space em out the better as them being that close or touching is likely causing an swr spike. (Antenna mismatch)
Is there a particular reason you don't just use the leads that exist? It would save a ton of time and potential damage to the RC and trading only a minor amount of conductivity yes?
Because you'd change the tuning characteristics of the antenna and render the entire RF frontend useless. Remember RF doesn't behave anything like DC. It can jump gaps and radiate from sharp edges.
Hey Alex, thanks so much for taking the time to share this video. It inspired me to take apart my controller and try it out--I wouldn't have been able to do it without your video. Only problem is that my range got worse! I'm wondering what I could've done incorrectly. It seems like one input port for the antenna on the physical motherboard might be damaged because one antenna always seems to be significantly stronger (and when I opened it back up and switched which antenna goes into the W and B antenna ports, the stronger signal successfully moved over to the other antenna). Thus I concluded the wires are fine and functioning properly. Have you run into an issue like this when modifying these controllers and do you know what I could try to resolve it? Thanks in advance!
That doesn't make sense. If you swapped the cables, and the other antenna started working, the working antenna followed the connector. That means then one of the cables or one of the antennas are faulty.
le antenne sovrapposte non vanno bene così.e anche troppo. Vicine tra di loro....andava una piastrina rettangolare sopra alle antenne originali ...così da tenerle distanziate
By all means - further apart, they are dual band so we must use the lower frequency as a reference….. if you notice the PRO version controllers , they are separated by the entire width of the controller

Hi Alex nice mod!
But did you test it if it improved the signal strength?
Wow! This was incredible to watch from beginning to end! Once I got my dji rc, I thought I wouldn't be using the N1 anymore. It's not the case now. Excellent work!!
Thank you!
Hi! Looks great is it possible to include a range test before and after your antenna modifications? Thanks Alex!
Hi there!
Probably, yes. I'll try to provide some tests.
Thanks for the feedback.
@@alex.semeniukHey Alex, did you get a chance to do the range test at all?

Well done! Range test?

Tienes algún video probando la señal?
How much better is with this antenas? any data you can shere?
Very well done 👍 ❤
Excilant work. Does it really increase the flight range? Waiting for the updated video.
Yes, definitely.
@@alex.semeniukwell how much by do you have a video
@@alex.semeniuk By how much? We'd all love to understand if this upgrade is worth the effort. Thank you!

You can't "tap into" an antenna feed, you will change the impedance of the circuit and your signal strength will drop to sweet F-all.

Does this work with the rc pro. I saw the other video with the 2 antennas and in the description is says you recomend this single.
If the rc pro has two u.fl/ipex connectors then it would be fine. If not, adding an extra would most likely change the impedance, resulting in possible damage to the WiFi radio from impedance mismatch.
THANK YOU!😊
You're welcome.

Have modded the rcn2 controller its exactly the same as the rcn1 both have 2 antennas

Those antennas need to be a bit more spaced out to actually be effective, but its a good start.
How far apart do they need to be go be effective?
@Angelo-krto Likely just a few inches, but the more you space em out the better as them being that close or touching is likely causing an swr spike. (Antenna mismatch)
I agree, Maybe a plastic bracket could be fabricated@@mctscott123
It works with mini 3 (not pro)?
Yes, it is. It would work with all DJI drones that the controller supports.
Is there a particular reason you don't just use the leads that exist? It would save a ton of time and potential damage to the RC and trading only a minor amount of conductivity yes?
It's damn near impossible to connect both wires to the connector. They are so small. Has to be done with a machine. ThTs why.

Cool 😎😎 but it really make a difference?, please update
Yes, it does.

Is it actually work?
you are actually creating a problem with Horizontal isolation. At this distance its 0db. At 6" is about 12dB with 3dBi gain antennas
Are you suggesting the antennas need to be further apart? If so, by how much?
By all means - further apart, they are dual band so we must use the lower frequency as a reference….. if you notice the PRO version controllers , they are separated by the entire width of the controller
hmmm interesting.. I may have to rethink this project. @alex.semeniuk any chance you could upload a video showing the antennas in use?
You may have voided your warranty!!
Yes, 100%!
