Aloha djordan,
Labroides gave you some real good advice. And then I noticed you wrote that you live in the open desert. This is where water will come into play. Your experience at home in the desert will be very different if your camping area is in the Pacific Northwest where there is rainforest.
I live in the jungle, and even though OcuSync 2.0 works very well, there is a big difference in even close transmissions soon after a rain. The rainforest has to dry out before I can get the real good transmission OcuSync 2.0 is known for, at least in a straight line through the trees. I also fly through tree tunnels in the jungle, so my situation is very different from yours but the amount of water held in trees after a rain will still affect your transmissions.
As your contributors here will probably tell you, using altitude will really help you with your transmissions. If you can take off and land at the highest and clearest point around you, you will be able to fly in a more level manner because there is usually less wood and foliage at the top of the trees. When you start losing signal, you can then climb for more altitude until your transmissions improve.
You may also want to drop down to look closer at the camp sites, so the best launch altitude and your best level flying altitude will be important. And remember, you also have a 2X Digital Zoom available to you, so that will help you get a better view of the campsites you are looking at while your Mini 2 remains at the same altitude (and with a good signal).
But, your Mini 2 with OcuSync 2.0 is one of the best tools you could have for whatever your flying environment turns out to be. You are wise to practice and test in preparation for your camping season. Sound like you will be having a lot of fun!
Take care and be safe!
Aloha and Drone On! |
