Hi guys,
See the clip, distance 11k feet with no signal issue. The guy got to return because of the battery.
And also note he was on 5.8 Ghz with 2 bars only... So..yeah, as you often say "Shut up and take my money"

Tried these on my Mavic and notice no difference, maybe I'll try them on the Spark.

Well, this is not cientific.

You have to compare with and without it in the same condicionts, no diferent days. So the way to test it is in a fix position during the same flight and installing and desinstalling the reflectors, and test the signal.

But is dificult to find this type of test...

Yes but not the same day at the same time... The test should be intall an uninstall the dish in a static sutation to compare properly.

We have this problem in Spain we dont reach more than 300 meters, but one day is 100 meters and two hours later you reach 400 m... so it depends a lot the enviromental conditions and interferences. So to compare you have to do it at the same time with the same RC and the same spark, and then "I will belive".

Works great for me. Previously couldn't get past 900m now 1500m easy. Best thing is reduction in lags and cut outs at long distances. I could get 7km flying in sports mode long distance range on a single batt. 1.5km to and back then then fly to the other end 2km Nd back total 7km.

Sorry :-)

I was not talking of belive or not belive, I was talking about measure the eficiency of the dish. An 2x is not the same than 1.1x it is only that. Of course you are sharing (thank you very much) your experience, but it would be more usefull if we can compare in the same conditions.

Again thankyou for sharing

Yes, the test I'd like to see is-
-Fly without the reflectors to max distance.
-Install the reflectors and show the increased distance.

No one has ever proven that these reflectors work. Their commentary is subjective.
