Anafi Alientech Bracket -- Antenna Recomendations
- Thread starter B.A.A.T
- Start date
Didn't know they were still supplying these. I have emailed them on numerous occasions and not heard a single thing back.
Yeah i think there still going ! However i got this from AliExpress . About 5 days to get here then Two weeks in customs ..
I think (not 100% sure) they are QMA type quick connectors.
You are more likely to find SMA connector antennas, so get a QMA to SMA adapter.

Most common antenna connector is the SMA so this is why he also sells the conversion adapter.

QMA-SMA conversion plug
It is an adapter for connecting the QMA female inner hole to the SMA female inner needle.

I buy it from alientech directly. Takes 3weeks to get it here. The connection is QMA. I have replace that for sma-rp connectors. I have also 2x sunshans 2w boosters. But now i only find a good antenne. I did try some, but that was not working on the anafi.

did it actually improve the range?

The main problem of these mods is that the existing antenna system uses patch antenna tuned for the casing - so gives an approx. RF gain of 2.5dBi to 3.5dBi.
Most dual band dipole type (whip) Antenna give the same RF gain of around 3dBi to 3.5dBi.
You can get much longer dipole (whip) antenna which will give you 5dBi to 9dBi of RF gain, and these will give you a much improved range. However these antenna tend to be only single band and quite long around 35 to 40cm in length.
So for max range with an external range - get a single band (2.4Ghz) long dipole antenna for 9dBi of RF gain.
You could also go extreme - all these dipole antenna are omnidirectional, so have a 360 degree transmission pattern - so for serious improvement in distances switch to directional type antenna - certain ceramic patch antenna are directional, and of course the good old Yagi style for serious directional gains!!
At the moment not. I did find the right antenne.

Problem is Anafi itself. There is no booster on Anafi, so the effective range cannot be increased very much.
those videos are fake; just a flight plan video recording with the telemetry pasted on top. You have never seen a skyshit video with the actual screen capture as it would show a disconnected the greater part of the flight

I have never seen any proof that the range on the Anafi would be extended by a shitsky mod
Suppose it is fake. Why don't people complain on the skyshit / Solaris facebook.
The previous video is an old mod. The drone side mod is no longer needed.

I have tried skyshit mod controller before and have reached 4km.
The original skycontroller 3 have only reach about 2.5km in FCC mode.
I was only stating that it is really curious that on the mods official channels, never ever did we see any Anafi actual iPhone screen capture of those 'tests' (with IMO funny music and cool graphics).
Believe me, if the real interface view was anything other than a garbled mess, then the guy would include it.
Based on the description, the Anafi mods are way less effective than the other ones. Maybe that plays a part as well?
