Drone Range Extender stabilizer

thingiverse

I've recently upgraded my DJI Phantom 3 Advanced with a reflective range extender and I'm thrilled with the results. After researching the controller unit, I discovered that many DJI models share similar components. The weight of these reflectors was indeed too great for the antennae to handle on their own, which is why this stabilizer device is such a game-changer. By providing support, it helps keep everything in place and allows for optimal performance. The brand of the reflectors I'm using escapes me at the moment, but I suspect others are close enough in design that modifying the STL file to fit other models should be relatively easy. With these reflectors installed, my range has increased significantly - from approximately ¾ miles to over a mile - which is an incredible improvement. One thing to keep in mind when using this setup is to always maintain a clear line of sight with the drone, as the signal strength behind you can drop off quickly. Simply keeping your controller pointed towards the drone should resolve any issues that arise.
