HOW TO FIX MAVIC MINI BAD RANGE - FCC HACK (all DJI Drones 2020)

FCC HACK 2024 UPDATE - HOW TO FIX BAD RANGE
😱 Video Review Drone-Tweaks FCC mod 😱

This FCC Hack works now
✅ *FCC mod for DJI Fly for iOS*
✅ *FCC mod for DJI Fly for Android*

NO LONGER WORKS :-Z

HOW TO FIX MAVIC MINI BAD RANGE with this FCC FIX in 5 Easy Steps and the best part is it works on all DJI Drones 2020. This FCC Hack will force your European Mavic Mini CE drone into FCC Mode. I will show you how to Hack Mavic Mini and how to preserve the settings to keep Mavic Mini in FCC mode. ⚠ IMPORTANT ⚠ Experimenting with FCC mods, can void your warranty and care refresh agreement with DJI.

NOTE: After making this video I learned there is a difference in the hardware between the CE version for Europe and FCC version in US. You still get the benefit in the 5.8Ghz band as far as I can see, but not as much as full FCC. In general, any improvement to the 5.8GHz is beneficial, as it’s limited to 500m and where most CE owners are seeing a problem. The guy that reported this to me has been reaching 1600m out with no hiccups after doing this, but no information about the band he was using.

FCC HACK 2024 UPDATE - HOW TO FIX BAD RANGE

[mattm]

Hi, I really appreciated your video. Did exactly as you said (i even took notes in order not to forget a step) and it didn't work.
Then, I changed the proceeding at the start:
-Start Fake GPS
-Connect phone to remote with cable
-start remote control and drone.

So connecting the phone with the cable BEFORE starting the drone and the rc did the trick for me.

Thanks for the good video on how to hack FCC power. I recently went through this procedure when I took my FCC Mavic Mini to a CE country. I had numerous connection issues and could barely fly to 400-500 m. With the hack, I still had strong signal at 1.5-2.0 km. I understand you will also get much better results if you hack the CE version. However, there are a few things to watch out for:

- The initial power up with the phone set to a gps position in the US needs to occurs INSIDE the house, or any place where the Mavic Mini will not receive gps signal. Only then will it « think » that it is located in the US.

- After that, in order to keep it thinking it is still located in the US, you need to connect your phone AFTER you started the motors with the remote controller. Similarly, you have to disconnect your phone BEFORE you stop the motors after the flight. Otherwise, the current position will be updated through the mavic’s gps.

- The initial power up can be done with an Iphone, but you need the proper software (yes, I did it).

Hope this helps !

Damn im going to try this. Have this issue a lot with my drone. Losing video connection sucks while you're getting a nice shot. Thank you

Could you please do an updated version of this video since this method doesn't work anymore because of the latest update.

FCC HACK 2022 UPDATE - HOW TO FIX BAD RANGE

[nguyenhoaiminhluan]

This video is very good. The purpose of this video helps us move from 2.4 to 5.8. If your drone defaults to 5.8 then you can fly far. However, if you want to fly 4km away, we should choose a drone with a code on the ss5 control. If the control code is SD25 then we should care about this video

[brandonw]

He has such enthusiasm and energy towards this hobby. I thought for a second he was going to jump into the wall Ha. Whenever he starts a new sentence he has a little burst of energy either by jumping or hands but always with his speech Haha. I Love it and great video by the way .

Thank you for the FCC hack. I haven't flown yet, way to windy but discovered in the setup procedure that the programme 'Fake GPS Location PROFFESSIONAL' by Just4Fun Tools doesn't require disconnection prior to switching off. This is useful as you don't require to setup up programme everytime you fly.

I don’t have the mini, but looks like great info. Just wanted to say hi Henrik and I’m still enjoying the osmo 2 I won from you. Thanks my friend and keep up the great work. 😃👍

[coastersteve]

Would be nice if you could measure the transmission power when hacked.

[diopartaeteru]

Thanks for the useful tips. However, I think you missed quite an important step here, on how to enable mock location:

TO enable the mock location, you need to access the phone settings > about phone > build number > tap on the build number until developer options shows up > allow mock locations.

It took me a few tries, as the fake apps would not show me the mock location.

[mrredMavicair]

I'm glad someone has sorted this out it's great for all those with a mini ! Good job 👍

[aceqman]

I liked it so much, I pressed the like button twice!

[ivanjdrakov]

Hello... I can no longer do the FCC Hack after the latest update!!! I used to easily do it for every flight in the city, because of high interference.. Now it just won't switch over to FCC mode anymore.. 😔

Now I have to use my parabolic reflectors all the time and even maybe try 2.4ghz channels in the City..

Sweet

I hope that DJI allows us to FCC Hack it again after the next update..

Now it seems the actual Mini is also using its own GPS in order to switch over to FCC, the phone's GPS is not enough anymore..

Cool cool..

😁

[andisadler]

It does work but some phones cannot open the app. You have to make the phone go into developer mode to accept app then go from there. I think you missed quite an important step here, on how to enable mock location:

TO enable the mock location, you need to access the phone settings > about phone > build number > tap on the build number until developer options shows up > allow mock locations. Same as rooting really without the flash.

[renierpienaar]

Thank you, as all your Videos, this one is also very useful and insightful. Cheers for now.

[Budgetmepettraveller]

Woooow It work in my mavic mini, before I use fake gps, with 2.4ghz I only can fly maximum 20meters away, and it will lost contact and return to home. And now my mavic mini with fake gps is in 5.8ghz become more stable. And I always remember that to unplugged the phone before turn off, Great job bro ... Thanks from indonesia.

[Project.camper]

I will try that today & I will try to make a short video if it’s working 👍 just want to say that I’m leaving in Ireland & my maximum range for now is around 400m

[mrwaerialphotography]

excellent! Took a fair few attempts but sure enough my channels eventually dropped to 11, cant wait to fly at work now, was getting awful interference and could barely get 200m away
