i get noticeably better range with OTG on my iPad mini vs using wifi..but its slightly interesting results at times..
i repeated tested one after another, swapping batteries out.. i tried it in 3 locations...
1 was at my farm, and i was intentionally in an area flying that has a lot of green foliage around..brush and trees and bushes cant even see the spark within seconds unless watching it on the screen.. wifi to RC .. range was 640~ish feet before signal chops but still usable..then RC lost signal around 1000 feet.. (like 1050 or something) did same test in same location using OTG and airplane mode on ipad to disable all wireless, and more then doubled the range on same path.. 2400 feet.. signal started to chop around 800 feet..
same test methodology on the valley overlook we have down the road where clear shot for endless miles basically.. wifi to RC 4100 feet, impressive but unusablly laggy after 2500 feet, like 2 seconds of lag, im hoping nothing i need to suddenly dodge coming up on me.... OTG with airplane mode, 7200 feet, no lag until very fridges of that distance..
last test, same method again, i did was in my small town, this is where wifi vs OTG actually broke down more for me.. and became less clear with both performing nearly identically in 2 passes around 4000 feet.... wasn't until 3rd pass when OTG allowed me to get over a mile out, 5600 feet.., and wifi was still stuck at same 4000~ish feet.. im not sure why or wat happens..
one thing remains constant with OTG vs wifi for me atleast is less laggy via OTG and it remains less laggy much further out not until very edges of range that it starts falls apart.. wifi its all over the place and gets laggy sometimes even a few feet from my iPad mini 2.. this could just be my iPad mini 2 takes longer to decode via wifi which while possible, iPad pro 9.7 we have acted very much the same.. wifi was better closer but just few hundred feet out it was all over the place with lag.. OTG cured it.. |
