I tightened the swivel and even that wasn't enough stability for me.... so I took a wire tie and locked it tight around where the ball from the swivel meets the tablet holder. That helped a lot as the Tripltek tablet weighs 1.5lbs. A lighter tablet might not need as much extra support.
I just have the basic unpowered Alientech DUO in my picture. It added quite a bit to my range down low where I use the Skydio most of the time. I went from 850ft max to 1300-1700ft when flying at less than 30 feet height. Up high it adds quite a bit more as long as you have good line of sight.
There is no 5ghz Alientech only 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz. I don't know what the Skydio uses to decide which signal it uses so you might need to turn off Auto and force the drone to a 5.725 to 5.8ghz channel for a booster to be effective.
Thanks Saladshooter for sharing the AlienTech DUO information you are using, and that it is non-boosted (unpowered) model. Those are definitely increased range results, excellent for a non-boosted antenna setup.
I’m not familiar yet with the Auto channel feature, but I did see could select a channel from the 5ghz range to force the controller to operate off a selected 5GHz range if I do go with a 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz AlienTech booster.
i see you have the TripLtek tablet, couldn’t tell if it’s the 7” or 8” tablet. Recently, myself ordered a TripLtek 8” Pro and have two flights using Skydio 2+. Nice tablet, crystal clear bright screen.
Thanks again for sharing,
