Upgrading some Q parts

Northern guy · Jun 24, 2018

I am looking for a suppliers or retailers name that can sell me a external camera antenna and one for the controller .

I have the Q500 drone
It came with a CG02 camera but I bought a new CG03 for it but don’t expect more range out of it compared to the 2
Carolina drones don’t have the parts .[emoji20]

I would strongly recommend not moving the antenna on the camera. The risk of damaging the camera is significant and the gimbal may tend to vibrate.
The ST10 is a much better choice for the antenna mod. The Itelite is a good choice. There are a few Youtube videos documenting the mod.

I would ask them if it includes the internal coax cables for the controller. If so you should be good to go.

This was picture # 2
So I think I’m good
Any guess on the range I can expect after the install .

I've done this mode on 3 ST10's and it works well. Just take your time. In particular drilling the holes can damage some parts if the drill bit gets caught and runs into a board. A step drill works best.
