yes and no, my experience is using antenna mods on Mavic air which is also Wifi., i had a 9Dbi gain antenna mod i used, no amp, which where just long antennas and results where mixed.. sometimes range was much much more noticeably better and more reliable and was able to get more things between me and the drone before signal fell off a cliff and other time it was about the same or oddly worse and was not much of pattern i could gather.. overall, yes it was better but no it isnt worth the extra fighting and fuss looking in the long run... the only reliable thing i noticed about using antenna mods were that telemetry data came in instantly upon regaining signal like battery life, distance, point on map, and all details even if picture failed to come in.. 2,4ghz or 5.8ghz..
that being said my experience is with a different drone, controller and app, it is possible results will be different with mavic mini, though i doubt it, Wifi is Wifi and just prone to signal integrity issues and signal quality issues and honestly isnt a technology any drone should be using, specially not something ay DJi drone should be using given all their other technologies... |
