Just testing the Mini 3 Pro with the DJI RC Pro in CE over and past an urban environment.
You will see at the beginning that the signal was about out until I turned it around, this has to prove that the antennas are poorly located on the Mini 3 Pro. Any sort of pitch going forward impedes the signal, this is really noticeable when you're on the edge of losing the signal. If you stop and wait, the signal will
come back, and if you crawl keeping the pitch level you can get further, I didn't wait or crawl this time, I just turned it around and you will see that the signal goes from 1 red bar to 3 orange straight away...

PS, i could only hit 1.5 or 1.7 with the DJI RC on this flight path in reverse, this RC Pro exceeded that...

That's a very interesting observation. Thanks for sharing it.

It is certainly food for thought thats for sure...

We learn something every day

Very interesting discovery Bashy.  

I also get stronger signal connectivity when I combine the RC Pro and the Mini 3 Pro over using the RC controller.  I was thinking it was because of the RC Pro having external antennas but now I wonder.

It's deffo something to do with the antennas on the RC Pro, whether it's because of the external ones of b cause there's 4 if them hard to say...

You're right about it being hard to say and DJI is being silent.  I'm no Engineer so I can't say which would work optimally.  Sometime I wish I had gone into Engineering in college but a Business Law Professor got me interested in law so I ended up pursuing a degree in Law.  Turned out to be a good career choice and one that I was passionate about.

At least you ended up doing something you liked, for many its just a means to an end and hate their job.

Yes, DJI is silent on this issue, but considering that the newly released mini 3 has the antennas back in stubs at the front of the arms, this could be interpreted as an admission by DJI that the positioning of the antennas in the mini 3 pro was not an outstanding idea

I did a summer non-paid internship with a major law firm before switching majors which also helped me decide to switch majors.  

I've done many career talks at High School Senior Career Day events and I always ended my presentation by saying no matter what field you go into make sure it is one that makes you happy to get up in the morning and look forward to getting to work.

Thats quite funny really.   Nice discovery though.

I have not seen any Mini 3 range videos as yet, looking forward to see how it fairs, bearing in mind that its not as powerful...

than DJI put the camera on the wrong side.....   ;-)

Now that i would agree with for sure, but you'd have to change the sticks around too

nah no need too, i just turn myself 180 degrees as well....

Good information @Bashy!  Thank you.

ha ha, that'll do something for sure....
