    Hi, i did this mod on a EU H501SS latest stock firmware (but modded to remove height limit) and it worked perfectly for me. Noticed a 25% increase in FPV signal strength. Best part was it removed completely the FPV cut out when the drone was facing the wrong direction at range.

    Hey Nelson! Looks you know how the things work! In my experience, the range of H501S rather limited by battery life. I flown at 1,8 km and went towards the quad to meet it 500 m earlier. With its GPS speed 5 ms even moderate wind makes it slower and 2 km takes 16 min in ideal conditions. The weakest thing in H501S is its camera with shaky video. What I would make if had your skills its to put a stabilized camera instead of the stock one. To get nice footage I attach SJCam to quad. But it gives additional 70 grams and shortens battery life to 12-14 min. If to remove internal battery of SJCam, case and screen and to connect it to H501S main board - it would be at least DJI Spark quality with better flight time and far less price. And if to put inside (disassembled) newly released Gitup F1 - it would be almost Mavic.

    Hi folks. Prop guards. Mine would not sit down properly. Screw boss in guards was 7 mm diameter, receiving hole in lantern was 6 mm. I carefully drilled it out to 7 mm using a succession of drills and now have a perfect fit. BobUK. [Edit for *really* bad spelling!]

  • @GruvenHaus
    @GruvenHaus Před 7 lety

    The Cloverleaf is best suited for the transmitter, and almost exclusively used for this purpose. It has an excellent radiation pattern and very low gain. It’s also possible to achieve a perfect 1.0 SWR, making it very efficient. It is not the ideal antenna to use on the receiver though. The reverse polarization rejection pattern is very erratic and varies between -8 and 19dBi.

    Did the location you installed the 5.8ghz antenna improve your video or do you wish you located it somewhere else? I bought both the lead and that antenna to install as soon as I hear from you. Thanks

  • @bobuk5722
    @bobuk5722 Před 6 lety +2

    Yes, well, obviously you need to install the SMA connector for the external aerial so that its terminals are not shorted together when you close the case and do not touch the camera. Measure twice, drill once! Also, you need to check the polarisation of your transmitter and receiver aerials, they need to be the same, both left hand polarised or both right hand, not one of each! It's not going to work well with a polarised antenna on the drone and a dipole in the transmitter. For those who really don't know much, both must also be designed for the 5.8 GHz frequency band. If doing these mods you must do your research first, otherwise when it does n't work it is your fault. I have the same prop guards and on my 501ss they do not sit down properly. There is a little tab inside the guard housing that is just a bit too wide to engage in the matching slot on the 501 leg lantern. Easily fixed with a thin file or piece of emery cloth. BobUK.

    • @flipflopping
      @flipflopping Před 5 lety

      Very good advice...I have heard mixed results about antenna mods, but from my own experience on my H107D, I got even worse performance after installing an Aomway upgraded antenna kit. The IPEX cable kept coming off, and when I finally did get it to stay on, the video reception was only about 10 feet before fuzzing out. I went back to the stock antennas and haven't had a problem since. Polarization, maybe? How do you check?

    You really know your way around this quad. I downloaded this video for future reference. My H501s arrived today, and I have been unable to find the microphone - not even in the exploded view. I assume video is recorded with audio, so there must be a microphone in there someplace. Do you know where? Thanks.

      Thank you, now I know. I want to do this antenna mod as you did, but I want to know first if it improved your video reception. Also, my H501s will not record video or photos on either of two new Micro SD cards. Do you know if the card must be like Class 10 or such? I have advanced Tx, press ENTER (video) and screen says "Put throttle down" - huh? I press EXIT and nothing happens. Card is inserted as per icon on quad.

  • @etmichel
    @etmichel Před 7 lety +5

    Hi Nelson, this is a great video and the external antenna looks really good! However, I have seen where several people have asked you about improved video reception with this modification, and you have been oddly silent on the subject. I am also keen to know how this modification performs under various conditions. Since you have not responded so far, I can only imagine that it must not be any better, and might even be worse than the stock antenna?
    There are many variables that can affect reception over long distances, but there are videos of many people getting well over 2 Km with the stock FPV antenna. How much better can it get with a 20 mw single channel system? I think that without other significant upgrades, it will be very difficult to beat the stock tuned antenna system.
    I am very tempted to do this mod because I like the look, and would like to experiment with other antenna's. However I am concerned that I will spend time and money on this only to end up with a system with lower performance. Again, I can only assume this is why you do not comment on performance, if I am wrong please let us know.

    • @nldronesolution
      @nldronesolution  Před 7 lety

      etmichel Hi thanks for your comments, actually I also just like the look then only mod for it, so far I didn't get get any difference between stock antenna and mod, I mod this is not because for the range and by the way this drone I am not use to fly long range, i buy it just for fly fun and usually most of the time I fly my DJI Phantom 3 Advanced only for long range.

    • @etmichel
      @etmichel Před 7 lety +1

      Thanks for the quick reply, I kind of figured... I am new to the RC hobby but have some RF engineering experience. From what I can see all of these antenna systems have pros and cons. As for what works best it really depends on what sort of environment you plan to operate in, and how you want to fly it. These clover antennas seem best for aerobatics in relatively short range congested (noisy) environments. Which is probably why they are commonly used on racing quads.
      However for longer range in open areas a dipole might perform better. Regardless I think having the ability to use different antennas, adjust position, and optimiz length (tune), could yield some benefit and be a fun little project.
      This is my first drone and I think it is a great starter for learning, and if I lose it I will be far less upset than if it was a much higher cost version. I am already eyeing the mavic, and maybe a little walkera FPV racer for down the road. For now I am learning and having fun with this hubsan. Thanks again for the video, it was really well done and helped me feel comfortable about opening it up for modification.

    Hi all, Great video! lots of help for those who want to try new antennas on the h501s. I have this quad lots of fun to fly and it takes good videos and pictures I also did the antenna upgrades on transmitter witch gives me around 450 meters of range, but with that range and shooting video it eats up the battery, my flight time shooting video 8 to 10 minutes, with no video shooting 17 to 20 minutes, the way I look at this is with out a battery upgrade why? the antenna upgrades to transmitter and quad. Have fun flying and enjoy :) Don...

    • @Partok81
      @Partok81 Před 7 lety

      josh akers No he didn't upgrade the battery. All he did was add a different style of connector to the battery bay. True this allows him to potentially install a battery that sticks out of the back of the quad. But what if you want to retain the ability to close the battery door?
      Thus, The ONLY way you're going to be able to take advantage of that increased range the antenna mod gives you; is if you have a battery hanging out of the back of your beautiful quad.
      Note- Dustin Dunnil strapped a 2nd stock battery to the belly of his h501S and only added 10 minutes to his flight time due to increased weight.

    • @MrPolymers

      Did you just place the 5.8ghz outside and not the 2.4?? If you have a chance, watch my channel. I've lost control of mine several times. First time, it went crazy in Altitude hold mode. Then my last video, it appeared to work fine until I got out to 90 meters or so. I lost control and had to kill the motors. It has me puzzled and I've built a few quads myself..

    Hi Nelson. Your video is perfect. I like especially the fast speed of the boaring manipulations. I already ordered the mushroom antena (not arrived yet), hoping the mod will improve the picture loss, when I rotate the drone!? However, what I am worried about is: 1. You never mentioned if you've achieved any improvement aftter the mod. and 2. Nobody else mentioned any. On the contrary there were complaints about loosing the whole picture.OK - if the 2-nd is may be result of not skilful implementation of the mod, the 1-st can be explained only ... if you are a Banggood agent - getting paid to addvartize this mod kit!? :) Please, tell us what you get out of this mod?

  • @Gmacrone
    @Gmacrone Před 6 lety

    So I have a question you may be able to answer. When I lifted the camera board up there was no antenna there. On the top board there are two antenna connections, one goes to one of the outboard motor pods and has a 1" or so heat shrink dodad that looks like a dipole termination. The other one is mounted on the body and looks very similar except that it is larger, definitely a dipole antenna termination. Both antenna's originate next to soldered RF shields. I want to know which one is the 5.4 GHz transmitter so I con correctly attach the new antenna to the correct terminal. Is there some way to tell which transmitter is which or should I contact tech support and show them the pictures I took for their assessment? Thanks for the video, I like the modifications, I did notice assembly went easier if I started the screws in the legs first to keep the motor wiring from getting pinched. Regards, GM

  • @flatoutandscreaming
    @flatoutandscreaming Před 3 lety

    there are problems with putting a circular polarized antenna on top of the H501s.
    firstly, it is above all the emi shielding tape (the black fabric tape that has copper and nickel woven into it) and electronics so you will only get a picture when the transmitter is above the drone and things get worse as soon as the motors spin up and create their own emf's
    Secondly, the aerodynamics are not as efficient. if you look at the drone in profile it has roughly the same cross section as an aircraft wing (it is flatter on the bottom, more curved on top) which generates lift. But the antenna now creates turbulence that impedes the flow of air meaning less lift, plus there is now more drag on the rear too.
    The effort is appreciated though

      @wonderkind08 Před 6 lety

      Ernie Schatz Prop guards are a good way to protect yourself and your copter from damage for amateurs. Also, in my case I added them while getting familiar with the drone's systems, and any quirks. If it goes down, particularly in grassy areas, they will minimize the junk that might get wrapped around the prop shaft and props. Not to mention if you are a newbie, they might keep you from taking a prop blade in the face. I can attest that on one occasion my quad bounced of a leafy tree limb after I lost orientation. Probably won't be that lucky again if I make that same mistake, but without the guards I would have surely crashed. I recommend them for all beginners, and even non beginners flying a quad that you do not have 100% confidence in. I was nervous because of all the complaints I read about regarding fly always and crashes. I'm happy to report my H501S with standard controller has performed flawlessly.

    Hi i want to ask if weight antenna in any way affect the center of gravity of the entire device and thus there is no strain on the engine and overload, I think the weight addition in the rear of the drone is not a perfect solution - I would have looked for the focus exactly in the middle of the device and there would I placed the antenna. What do you think

    Hum, be carefull: you will notice that the author of that video never did answer to the basic question: " what range do you get after that mod ?" NO ANSWER .... strange !
    For those of you who did that mod and then get no more video: the mushroom antena type is a short circuit in dc current, and this will disturb the switching circuitry in the hardware design. Solution, put a capacitor (100 to 470pf) in series (on the board, or sma side or in the antena: not easy as connections must be very short), or use the classic dipole.

      Also improving the current carrying capacity of the LIPO battery connector. The original equipment one looks suspiciouly under rated. The maximum current draw at full throttle is 24 amps (six amps per motor). The new connector is an XT60, supringly rated for 60 amps continuous if of good quality. An XT30 would be fine in this application but Nelson may have wanted to standardise his battery connectors. Also, much easier to comnect and disconnect. BobUK.

    • @chuckjohns4698
      @chuckjohns4698 Před 7 lety

      They place the antenna that way because it looks better but does not perform better. When I have my quad 5 to 6 hundred meters away then turn the quad towards me then I loose 5.8ghz and it has always been that way. I mean look at the transmitter on the non advance it has no visible antenna from it. It so called looks better. Most of hubsan stock have everything tucked away. As for the fly away there is a serious issue there. It would be interesting to see your quad go with the standard controller and see what happens. Good luck
