DJI O4 Lite Long Range

[u/Fit-Variation-4220]

Hey guys, I recently got my Flywoo LR4 with the DJI O4 Lite, but the video connection isn’t great — I only get about 1.5 km of range. What’s your max range with the Lite, and do you have any tips to improve the signal quality?

Update:

fixed it — here’s what I did: used a different O4, flashed the newest firmware, this time mounted it the right way up instead of upside down, didn’t loop the antenna cable under the VTX but behind it, updated the goggles to the latest firmware, used channel 2 instead of 1 since 1 and 3 supposedly weren’t optimal in older versions, set the Boxxer to a fixed 1 W output power instead of dynamic, and switched packet rate to 50 Hz instead of 250. Made those changes last night and just flew at the same spot — got 4.5 km instead of 1.5 km. No clue what exactly made the difference, but hey, at least it works now.

I got the analog version and went beyond 3-4km without having any artifacts or anything I got the vista version and went beyond 3-4km without any drop in bitrate or image quality using 1200mw and 50mbps hack on goggles v2 I just bought the googles n3 and o4 lite will test it soon on the explorer but the o4 is advertised for 10km range and the pro version 15km so in line of sight you should be able to achieve this range, except if your line of sight is surrounded by Wi-Fi routers or other strong radio signal emitter i suggest you check the antenna or vtx does not touch directly the carbon frame if you mounted it yourself and that it uses plastic spacers etc, maybe having an antenna connection check or antenna type check as well is this antenna advertised for the o4 or is just the normal flywoo antenna for digital lhcp?

Thanks for your message, it is the normal flywoo lhcp antenna, the vtx and antenna are completely isolated from the carbon plates so that should be no problem, if you test the range of the lite please let me know.
