Started modifying my DJI transmitter antenna to give me a massive signal boost and range

Very thin and light:)

First disconnect plugs:)

Remove all antennas, the hot glue at the plug connections are a bit fiddly to remove. This needs to be done with care:)

Take note of the positions:)

The flat antennas right and left are hot glued and glued so extra care must be taken when removing them. I cut it and wiggled it from side to side:)

Attach antenna leads to connect plugs to the main board:)

Graham Lawrie · Post by **Graham Lawrie** » Sat Dec 17, 2016 5:43 pm

Attach the plugs and hot glue for security:)

Hot glued the original antenna hole to stop anything getting in

Buddy here did something similar to their Yuneec Q500+ transmitter. Has a pair of patch antennas in it that covers Wifi and transmitter control signals. Improved the range on the wifi video uplink, but still had issues with trees.

There are various mods for the antenna available. I think you always need line of sight to get a good signal:)
