@ton999 hey Tony. We have a few folk that have run the system out for some serious distance, @Tom-fly I believe has done 17km with the unit. Now I confess that is in a more remote location, but with hills trees and other obstacles with no issue. @cala2 has had similar experience but on a shorter range. Both are gearing up for some major distance testing soon.
I am not a distance flier but I am a mavic owner and I regularly fly in an area of heavy interference. On more then one occasion I have had my Mavic fail and well scare the poop out of me. I have flown the Skydroid system in the same place repeatedly with no interruption. Is that proof it works better then the DJI system. No. But I have not had to change my shorts flying.
As for the question of Dual telemetry I canāt say,. I know that I have run the USB connection at the same time as the Skydroid system, so that basically is a dual telemetry system, but I confess not exactly what your describing.
Hi Tony,firstly welcome some good questions there im sure Cao will come along shortly he is very good at answering questionās and is honest as well ive got the cross fire and a RFD 868 thayt i have not used as I think the M12 should have me covered I think things look good for Skydroid as on there site they are looking to increase there staff including engineers,but just feel this is the right direction for me,would like to see a smaler receiver but thats it for now Merry Xmas and hope santa brings you a M12
Thatās a shame. I, like @cala2 prefer a higher tension on the stick. On both my Taranis X9D+ and Q X7, Iāve replaced them with HD gimbal springs then max out the tension adjusters. This way, it immediately reminds me if Iām putting in any unintended pilot induced input. More importantly, it helps me be more precise with control inputs. Not necessarily a deal-breaker but TBD at the moment.
I fly over a farm where recive internet by air, I fly 3kms with a quad and 6km ground test with strong signal but isnāt a city, you need lots of permissions to fly far over a city here, dual telem I don,t try yet but a friend did it with dragon in parallel with osd and works, Im going to try with airplane and comment.
Thank you gentlemen, for all your response. @Ricky, I just want to understand, you said there is no interruption at all using M12L in strong wifi signal (interference) area, where Mavic had problem. It means that M12 is better than Mavic in this aspect, isnāt it? Or may be I misunderstood? How far can you reach in that area with M12L ? @Marty, thank you for your words, hope that I can get it soon. @Cala thank you for your update. You can get 17 km, is it in rural area without wifi signal or in strong wifi signal area? @Tom, I plan to use Holybro Pixhawk 4 for my Vtol, do you think it is a good product? (I heard there is Sbus issue, but not sure in details).
Merry Christmas to all of you.
Hope that we get more success and happiness in the coming year.
Merry Christmas to Skydroid and this great group that give me the chance to have my few weeks ago wish, a strong signal compact unit to fly over the farm without connection limits and easy to use.
We have a set (thank you by the way) and in electric setup our planes can fly hundreds of km in a single flight. We just have to approach this methodically given it is so new. Likely put one onboard a long range setup and just monitor its signal degrading at distance. We have quite a lot of planes flying bvlos so Iām looking forward to seeing data after the new year and how we can integrate in the future.
marry xmas to everyone! And thank you for Skydroid for updating firmware to version 1.5. Update went smoothly, nice! lets see tomorrow how it works in practise.
I dont believe separate module would make difference. Market has load off long range telemetry modules (TBS, Dragonlink, Frsky etcā¦ and separate telemetries as well) . Iām sure Skydroid version of it would just be one of millions. But current setup of M12L is just great, it offers robustness, is really compact and dustproof if needed. And you can connect it without problems to groundstation etc. You can of course connect your Taranis as joystick to groundstation (windows laptop) and control drone via it and M12L works as telemetry modem (all the control commands, and telemetries goes throught it). M12L is also very friendly to user. It gets connect very easily to groundstation and can works with multiple connections at the same time (laptop, pad for example). Current concept works very well from my point of view.
