    NO LONGER WORKS :-Z
    HOW TO FIX MAVIC MINI BAD RANGE with this FCC FIX in 5 Easy Steps and the best part is it works on all DJI Drones 2020. This FCC Hack will force your European Mavic Mini CE drone into FCC Mode. I will show you how to Hack Mavic Mini and how to preserve the settings to keep Mavic Mini in FCC mode. ⚠ IMPORTANT ⚠ Experimenting with FCC mods, can void your warranty and care refresh agreement with DJI.
    NOTE: After making this video I learned there is a difference in the hardware between the CE version for Europe and FCC version in US. You still get the benefit in the 5.8Ghz band as far as I can see, but not as much as full FCC. In general, any improvement to the 5.8GHz is beneficial, as it’s limited to 500m and where most CE owners are seeing a problem. The guy that reported this to me has been reaching 1600m out with no hiccups after doing this, but no information about the band he was using.

    Then, I changed the proceeding at the start:
    -Start Fake GPS
    -Connect phone to remote with cable
    -start remote control and drone.
    So connecting the phone with the cable BEFORE starting the drone and the rc did the trick for me.

    This video is very good. The purpose of this video helps us move from 2.4 to 5.8. If your drone defaults to 5.8 then you can fly far. However, if you want to fly 4km away, we should choose a drone with a code on the ss5 control. If the control code is SD25 then we should care about this video

      @typxxilps Před 4 lety

      That is false. The stronger the band the more range you get - except you fly above polluted are with a lot of buildings or appartements.
      The Hack does only one thing: it uses more power for transmission in both bands cause in the US the FCC allows more power transmission than the EU with its CE mode
      How far you can get depends on the area you are flying cause there are 5,8 overpoluted areas too in major cities.

This is useful as you don't require to setup up programme everytime you fly.

    Excellent ! (as usual) . If I want to change batteries after a flight and keep the FCC mode what are the procedures ?
    I have been told that using the hack does not increase the power in the 2.4 freq range but does increase the power in the 5.8 freq range. Have you tried this and if so what are your findings ?

    • @TECHDRONEMEDIA
      @TECHDRONEMEDIA  Před 4 lety

      Right now this is relying on 3 party information, that confirmed longer range, but no info on witch band he is using. Just disconnect the phone before your turn off the remote, and start the motors first before plugging in the phone

  • @Ni3Dco
    @Ni3Dco Před 4 lety +13

    Thanks for the good video on how to hack FCC power. I recently went through this procedure when I took my FCC Mavic Mini to a CE country. I had numerous connection issues and could barely fly to 400-500 m. With the hack, I still had strong signal at 1.5-2.0 km. I understand you will also get much better results if you hack the CE version. However, there are a few things to watch out for:
    - The initial power up with the phone set to a gps position in the US needs to occurs INSIDE the house, or any place where the Mavic Mini will not receive gps signal. Only then will it « think » that it is located in the US.
    - After that, in order to keep it thinking it is still located in the US, you need to connect your phone AFTER you started the motors with the remote controller. Similarly, you have to disconnect your phone BEFORE you stop the motors after the flight. Otherwise, the current position will be updated through the mavic’s gps.
    - The initial power up can be done with an Iphone, but you need the proper software (yes, I did it).
    Hope this helps !

Other active-tracking/following is disabled because of the lack of sensors.

    Sweet
    I hope that DJI allows us to FCC Hack it again after the next update..
    Now it seems the actual Mini is also using its own GPS in order to switch over to FCC, the phone's GPS is not enough anymore..
    Cool cool..

      @@michiscz Yeah, they've finally blocked the Mini from using only the phone's GPS, now it seems it uses either both phone's and drone's GPS or at least only the actual drone's GPS position!
      So now it's so nerve-wracking to fly from my balcony like I usually do! In the City the wifi interference is truly crazy! I will fly today and use my parabolic reflectors and see how it goes.. All this is really really making me save up for a Mavic Air 2!
      I really really do love my Mavic Mini, even though it's the CE version, I just have to maybe get those Yagi adapters for the antennas, I would need for both 5.8ghz and for 2.4ghz Channels..
      I guess what we can do is downgrade to the older Fly application and fly thus way. I really prefer to always have the latest software versions and so I'll just keep it the way it is.. Hopefully my parabolic reflectors will do the job just fine...
      Keep well and be safe

    After making this video I learned there is a difference in the hardware between the CE version for Europe and FCC version in US. You still get the benefit in the 5.8Ghz band as far as I can see, but not as much as full FCC. In general, any improvement to the 5.8GHz is beneficial, as it’s limited to 500m and where most CE owners are seeing a problem. The guy that reported this to me has been reaching 1600m out with no hiccups after doing this, but no information about the band he was using, ⚠ *Finally I do want to add that messing with this might void your warranty with DJI* ⚠

    • @mariesvilmy5680
      @mariesvilmy5680 Před 4 lety +15

      If you dont wanna void your warranty just use 2.4 GHz channel and select the green shortest bar on channel . And dont forget to set your phone to airplane mode. No more interference from your own phone. Got range 500m++ on crowded area and 1700m ++ if not crowded

  • @diopartaeteru

    Thanks for the useful tips. However, I think you missed quite an important step here, on how to enable mock location:
    TO enable the mock location, you need to access the phone settings > about phone > build number > tap on the build number until developer options shows up > allow mock locations.
    It took me a few tries, as the fake apps would not show me the mock location.

  • @echterwel
    @echterwel Před 4 lety

    I've tried your FCC hack but it doesn't work as smooth as it should. Sometimes I can't choose a flightmode (S,P or C) and in the left upper corner of the screen instead of flightmodes is says N/A exactly as in your video at 4:14 only in your video it changes to P after that. That sometimes doesn't happen when I try it. It stays on N/A and I also cannot select a flightmode in the menu when it says N/A.
    It also pops back in CE mode if I disconnect the cable from the controller.
    I've also checked the DJI website and the CE model simply doesn't the same transmitting power in its hardware.
    And could the bad reception maybe also taken care of by pointing 1 antenna straight forward and 1 pointed up? because the signal is sent around the antenna, therefor if you both have them pointed upwards the signal is being sent horizontal away from you in a circle and if you flatten one the signal is also sent around that antenna only now vertical, also upwards.
    I got this idea after I could easily fly 500 meters away but upwards max about 40-50 meters.
    This is a yet not tested theory, because the wind was to strong today but I think it makes sence, what do you think?

  • @filipoo5669

    Well thank you. The guide works. But before takeoff, you need to calibrate the compass and IMU. It is not possible to calibrate when the engines are running. And if I have to disconnect the cable from the RC before switching off the motors, it is also not possible to calibrate. So what's the procedure? Thank you in advance for the explanation.

      depends on regulations and if you are flying to foreign countries be carefull cause in many african countries you can loose the drone by crossing the border and they confiscate the drones. And most of all tourist areas hate drones and ban them ... so most likely you will run into problems ... even as a resident.
      Drones can deliver transparency and look behind walls and can pictures objects close from the ground and show how rich some people are that do not want that.

Best Regards from Ohrid-Macedonia!

    • @TECHDRONEMEDIA
      @TECHDRONEMEDIA  Před 4 lety +1

      Thank you sharing your experience .. I think channel 4 is less polluted in your area, might not be for everyone

    • @typxxilps
      @typxxilps Před 4 lety

      Simple: the higher the frequency the less power and penetration and range it has ... the more likely intererence will hurt the communication.
      If RC pilots want to get high range they avoid even the 2,4 Ghz frequencies and chose 9xx Mhz, so 900 Mhz bands ,,,, no Ghz bands at all.
      That leads more reliable connection and better signal .
      So stay in 2,4 Ghz to get the best and check the wifi "pollution". If that is high than you are most likely above a private area with a lot of households and wifi networks where these signals will be stronger than yours if you are farer away cause there signal is stronger being closer to the drone. Than you loose the video connection first ...
      dji does not care about it cause flying over private crowded areas is forbidden in close to all countries ... at least EU, US, Africa, ...
      Best way to avoid these risks: buy a mavic air 2 cause that will use occusync 2.0 and that is a different story regarding range

    FCC Hack! Thanks for the great video! I am not sure if I understood correctly. Once after "cheating" the controller/drone with a fake location and disconnecting the phone (4:50) - should I switch off the fake GPS? and from that moment I don't need it anymore? (as long as I always connect the phone only after pairing the RC/drone and firing the props). Does it mean that I will see the maps normally on my android? And what will happen if I accidently/deliberately stay with the fake GPS? Thanks again...
