Is there a protective casing to prevent the cloverleaf antennas from damaging on hard landing, if you have it pointing downwards on a DJI Phantom 2?

there is a blue rubberized coating on them. I have these on a TBS Discovery, mid flip i lost connection due to my location. landed right on them. the antennas straitened back very easily and i just re shaped the wires on the top. they work like new still.

No ! But if you point it a little to the rear or bend it up a little , you should be ok !!

All you can get from SmartGuard: Thank you for your response. We sincerely do apologize for the inconvenience, but for plans purchased after 9/19/2014, we are not covering as we do not cover the DJI Quadcopter.

The answer is to always go up, the higher the better. A vertical antenna radiates in all directions so you don't want one of those directions (mobile home) to block the RF.

antenna is flexible but does not fold, cover would need to be modified to allow for antenna or disconnected each time cover was applied.

if you are asking how to block out any radio signals, thus keeping only static, a faraday cage would work, or remove the antenna. I had asked the psb-7 if static added would help, the reply was no. this ddevice, just blows my mind,

I'm not familiar with the size of the broken down DJI, however I can safely say that this would provide adequate protection (assuming it fits). My advice would be to check the internal measurements for this case in the specifications section, and compare that to the DJI.

It bends the antenna. After about a year and a half of use, my antenna broke off.

Hi, this comes with a foot long piece that screws to the roof. I didn't want to screw my newer roof so i strapped it to a roof vent facing South with out the stand. I get way better reception than I did from my indoor antenna.

I had a similar crash and same result. The flybar attaches to the mast with a small steel pin which you probably lost during the crash. Look closely at the flybar and you should see the small hole where the pin is inserted through the flybar to attach it to the mast. There are no replacement steel pins with the copter and they are not included in any of the repair kits. I clipped a small piece from a paperclip and used that as a replacement pin and added a small dab of glue to keep it from falling out again once I reattached the flybar. Also watch out how you attach the small dumbbell shaped parts which connect the flybar to the rotor blades. The dumbbell parts should be attached just to the rounded knob on the end of the flybar connection. If you push the dumbbell too far past the rounded knob so it is on the shaft rather than just the rounded knob, the copter will wobble when flying. This fix worked for me.

Greg, I heard of the problem and the attempt fix. Inside there is a tail that is the antenna that may have too much plastic covering on it that needs taken back alittle off the bare wire to expose it to let the radio wave through. Check it out and see! You've got to take the black cover off to expose the black antenna covered with black plastic and attached on one end. Pull the loose end out and cut off some off the plastic and hang it out when you put the black cover back with the arrow towards the green props. Then screw in the 4 screws back with the antenna hanging out. Good luck! Jerry

I could be mounted but I suspect the space between thermalpane glass would be a huge loss of signal to maybe no signal at all.......you will also see a few guys that have had the same problem as myself in trying to keep the antenna on the glass without falling off.....I tried 4 times, two different antennas and was eventually not successful ......I tried 3 different glues and scratch sanded the spot where the mount would be.......still no success....I don't know why there aren't more people having the same problem but the few I can see are a comfort to me.....With my past experience I would not take the chance on mounting this antenna on your RV....sorry bout that...............

Water resistant at best, however for the price it is not a bad deal. Another option if you are handy with tools is to purchase a DJ Console or Turn table case and add the foam. This cases cut outs are pretty raggedy and the Gen 2 props are really close to the edges.

No. You should cover any bare wire. Use electrical tape or small heat-shrink tube. Do not cut any of the wire off. If you don't cover bare wire and it makes contact with other metal it will reduce your reception range. If it somehow makes contact with the positive end of the electrical system it can cause damage. This is very unlikely to happen.

It's another layer of protection, basically you weave it through the holes on either side of the prop guard and around the drone. It essentially acts like a bumper. I'd recommend putting it in it's saved my drone plenty of times.

You can use a gimbal or a static mount. Currently DJI offers only the gimbal mount. I would highly recommend searching for the Phantom 2 WITH gimbal for $879. It's a much better deal as the gimbal alone is $359. Also, DJI just announced they will be selling a static mount soon however a date nor price has been announced. I would imagine the static mount will be less than $20.

I don't know. Get a battery powered portable radio (no power cord---it will act as an antenna), tune it to a station with a respectable signal then wrap the radio in one of the blankets and see if it interferes significantly with the signal. If it does, then the blanket is providing some electrical shielding; if not, then it isn't any good for that and you should just use aluminum foil. We used aluminum foil and copper tape in the Air Force and it worked great. Just be sure to leave plenty of air holes.

I have a telescope in my Pelican Case and so far everything is OK. It has not been dropped and the foam is holding the telescope and all the accessories firmly in place. I live in Hawaii where the humidity can wreak havoc on foam. No problems so far.
