Let's dig into this a little deeper.
For the record, I hate the word "booster" because it's too generic. Booster can be anything that boosts. It's better to be specific. Use words such as windsurfer, directional antenna, amplifier, etc., and everybody knows exactly what you mean.
The SE (Special Edition) is aptly named because there's no other DJI RC system like it.
Geebax is correct in that the signal between RC and AC on the SE is not wifi. But it's still a radio signal which means the situation can be improved if you're willing to do the mod.
Inside the SE controller are two patch antennas facing forward. Those are the antennas that communicate with the AC. They are invisible from the outside so you'd have to open up the controller case to see them. Once inside, you'd want to disconnect the patch antennas and attach high quality antenna cable from those transmitters and run them outside the controller. There are various ways to accomplish this. Then connect the cables to a better antenna such as an ITELITE and mount same. I'm not sure ITELITE makes an antenna for the SE, so mounting might be tricky. Also, the ITELITE antennas are frequency-specific, and they are 2.4 ghz (except for some early models), so you'd be stuck at 2.4 ghz and wouldn't be able to switch to 5 ghz. Nonetheless, once you accomplish the mod, both signals (incoming and outgoing) will be significantly improved.
You could use some other antenna too. You might even find a dual-frequency antenna out there somewhere, but I'd use the ITELITE.
Good luck |
