RC Drone Mods [2019] – The Best Drone Modifications – Phantom, Inspire, Mavic
Owning a drone can be a fun experience. However, you probably wouldn’t like the limited range of your drone or the cameras that take blurry pictures. Do not worry. All you need is some drone modification to help you. Drone modifications can modify everything, from your drone’s flying time to its battery life.
You can even get yourself a UAV locator to locate the drone, no matter where it is. Or get a carbon fiber base on the drone so that it doesn’t break apart if it meets with any accident – and with drones costing thousands of dollars, you surely wouldn’t want that to happen.
Let us look at some of the best drone mods today.
DJI Mavic Mods And Tips
DJI Mavic Mods help fly your DJI Mavic better. Here are some of the drone mods that you can do with it.
– Enhance the operational period and still, save your battery life by having an antenna with boosters (controller modification). The interference gets reduced to a minimum, ensuring cleaner channels.
– Additionally, as it is difficult to connect the SMA connectors to the controller as it is too small, so this modification helps with that too.
– Keep the DJI Mavic Mod drones near you – drones can go on for miles if they operate at a low altitude.
– Install boosters to help maintain a strong signal.

DJI Phantom 4 Mods And Tips
DJI Phantom models are well known for their ability to take some great pictures, which means that it has a great camera. A camera you wouldn’t want to lose out on.
– This drone mod, the gimbal lock, helps you to protect not only your camera but also the gimbal’s damper. Normally, the damper’s are irreplaceable, so if it gets compressed during transportation, it can lead to permanent damage of the gimbal.
– Additionally, there are modified Carbon Fiber Propellers that give the much-needed thrust, balance and excellent handling of the drones along with customized propeller guards to add that personal touch.
– You can even add color to your drone cases by just using plastidip on the free case that comes with the drone.
– For an HDMI output, there are HDMI upgrade boards available for installation that give you the superior quality output that you wish to attain.

– Push up your throttle if you’re flying at a low altitude to make up for the loss of height.
– Ensure that the aircraft’s batteries are fully charged to 100%. However, for the remote control, a battery life above 50% is fine.
– If you get a “gimbal motor overload” message while flying, land your aircraft immediately and just check the four white dampers. Generally, such a message is displayed when one of them is detached.
DJI Inspire Mods And Tips
Here are some tips for you to use your Lynh Phans DJI Inspire.
– To get added security, turn on voltage display on the main screen. It prevents damage to the battery’s cells and gives you live cell voltage monitoring.
– Fly in ATTI with the landing gear lowered if you’re hungry for more speed.
– If you encounter Mc Data Error on your DJI Inspire 1, just land immediately and power cycle the craft. Otherwise, if you continue to fly with that error, that flight will not be logged in the black box.

– For a better quality output, there will soon be an upgraded version of the HDMI board that will be available very soon.
– If you want to add some expo on the collective stick, or just want a firm feedback, you can increase the stick tension through the spring adjustment screws that are inside the controller. However, you’ll have to open the transmitter for this.
– Doing the IMU Cal and the gimbal Cal procedures on a flat and hard surface will reduce gimbal drifting and tilting issues.
– You might want to stick to one version of the Pilot App and prevent unwanted updates. To achieve this, just turn off the automatic downloads for apps and updates in the -OS settings.
– To avoid the dreadful battery connection error message, ensure pre-flight checks and simple maintenance. The battery’s serial ports have to be clean, and the connecting pins shouldn’t be pushed or locked down.
There you go! These modifications and tips should help you fly safely and enjoy each and every minute of your flying experience!

Hi, I have an Ehang ghost drone 2,Which i am quite happy with as it is my first with gps..However i would like to use FPV,,,my drone has the 4k sports camera. Can i use this for FPV if so how? if not do i need to change the camera? Any help would be helpful.. thank you
Now don’t count me on this for this information to be completely correct but from what I’ve heard I believe that when using a high resolution camera for fpv it will increase the latency or delay. I honestly don’t know a lot about drones but I am really interested in getting into the hobby. I’d recommend taking some time to research more about fpv. The YouTube channel FlightTest has a lot of reliable information on fpv and drones so I do recommend taking a look at them 🙂
