    Q500 CG03: WiFi 30 feet range issue

    Thanks for taking the time really appreciated. A new antenna is the way to go will remove all these unknowns. Then hope becomes the strategy i.e. hope the WIFI board is still fully functional.🤞 May I ask...... do you think that using an antenna like TBS TRIUMPH PRO mounted in the CGO would add...

    Q500 CG03: WiFi 30 feet range issue

    Will measure later today, DoomMeister thanks for the link, the information confirms the hand/thumb rule that I use. I think the best course of action is to get a new antenna. I don't really want to do a full 'external antenna mod' as I still want to use the steady cam.

    Q500 CG03: WiFi 30 feet range issue

    Thanks, much appreciated. Can you confirm that the antenna you posted and the antenna in my CGO3 are both LHCP clover leaf or am I mistaken?

    Q500 CG03: WiFi 30 feet range issue

    Thanks, that provides context of bad! I had already popped off the front cover so have attached a couple of quick photos, on first inspection it doesn't look too bad? Would value your opinion. I will need to disassemble to see the u.FL connector which I thought looked tatty. Let me know if...

    Q500 CG03: WiFi 30 feet range issue

    The Antenna in the ST10+ is flat, that could mean it is linear (H/V) but doesn't stop it being circular (L/R). I have read on the forums that it is LHCP but I don't know if this is fact or opinion. If it is linear you would lose 3dB with a circular antenna in the CGO3 (independent of whether...

    Q500 CG03: WiFi 30 feet range issue

    I have been trying to get a definitive answer by searching the forums, but if somebody can confirm LHCP or RHCP for the CGO3 I would really appreciate it :). Fortunately (but annoyingly) nothing is open here in Australia till Tuesday so I have to wait before I can order an antenna.

    Q500 CG03: WiFi 30 feet range issue

    WTFDProject; Firstly thanks for making the "Way To Fix Drones project" document available. It is an excellent resource and enabled me to have the 'quicklook' at the camera. I will take the front cover off the camera and have a closer look at the antenna, as I said it looks tatty and with the...

    Q500 CG03: WiFi 30 feet range issue

    Hi Pier2162, Thanks for the suggestions. It is late here so I have only been able to test the camera inside with no micro SD card. It may be giving me slightly better range, 5.8GHz doesn't really propagate well inside. But taking that as a positive I reformatted the micro SD card and reinserted...
