Important Update - New Firmware Fixes HAM For CE Users
With the release of the new firmware V01.00.0300 for the Avata 2 DJI have fixed the HAM file behavior in the CE region.
Now the ham file behaves as it did with the Avata 1 and O3, It gives FCC power, FCC Speed and full Manual Channel Selection.
There is no longer any need to purchase any 3rd party apps for the full FCC mode in CE regions.
Where I show in this video that there are 4 modes that is now incorrect and there are just the original 3 that are CE Mode, FCC Mode and Ham Mode.
I have created a new chart that is linked below on my Wiki and I will be making an updated video in due course.

Today was the first time I had a closer look into your fpvwiki. This is fpv platinum! Everything in there, and what a great clear overview! Thank you so much Ian!

[@pedrocosta4807]

Weird, I added the Ham file to my newly aquired avata 2, it did unlock the manual selection but i cant make it go any faster than 60km/h, anyone else tried it? EDIT : turns out i needed to format the sd card, can confirm speed unlock and extra range

[@WildpixFPV]

@@pedrocosta4807 Have you installed the new firmware V01.00.0300 over the DJI fly app?

[@atkatsom8745]

One thing is that I was using the Avata 2 to fly indoors in normal mode too and now after adding the Ham file the GPS signal is way too weak / non existent to keep it in one place unless I am right next to a window... This is pretty sad for me as I am using it to film real estate (super slow, dont want to do it manual) as well as speedy manual fun outdoors. Does anyone else experience this difference in GPS signal?

The biggest benefit is the full power of the motors and you can check it easy with motor power output. Without the hack you must stay around 50% throttle to hover in manual mode. In Ham you only need 20%. Thats the easiest way to check If the ham file work!

Thanks you so much for this video. Unfortunately for some reason it has not worked on my avata 2. Do you have any idea what the reason could be? New updates blocking it maybe?

[@GuilhermeGomes2]

​@@ChrisHeeney-ki2bqis it by using the dji remote 3 or the motion remote? I think it is always limited in the second one

that's why throttle felt so weird compared to sims

[@EdEditz]

Wauw! This works amazingly well. Normally when I fly behind some trees that are like 80 meters away from me, I always get picture loss. Now, with that file installed, it's just normal picture. It's so much better at distance and with penetration through buildings. Thank you Mads Tech!!

[@KainniaK]

The range and penetration for mid range flying is absolutely phenomenal. I live in a small town with 3000 people, right in the middle of it and while laying in bed I can fly a full circle around my self, being 1500 meters away. As long as I stay above 30 meters or so. Except for a bunch of spots where the signal has to travel through less buidings. There is a school 600 meter from my house and I can be down to 7 or 8 meter and still have 3 mbit left. As a matter of fact, I have done some 100 flights while laying on my bed and there where plenty of occassions where the video quality went down a lot and the bitrate went to 1 mbit but I have not lost signal a single time. I usually just fly straight up when bitrate down down to much. The Goggles 3 and avata 2 is the ultimate fpv-noob-who-never-wants-to-worry-about-anything flying experience.

Since O4 nature seems to be very dynamic, it would be very interesting: 1. Does the ham cfg hack increases the power all the time no matter the current link quality or only if it is needed, i.e. when the aircraft is away, just like mobile phones work? 2. Does it noticeable affect the battery life? 3. Does it increase the drone temperature?

I concur, after watching your video saying it wouldn’t work and losing signal behind a bush 80m away i thought f”£k it, nothing to lose. Bam, instant improvement, signal does not below 50mb, before it was down to 15. Auto is still locked as you explain. I was also losing signal inside the house, now I do not lose signal indoors at all.

[@eXreTT]

How does it affect the warranty? In the theory, it is "only playing" with law regulations, but not the drone possibilities itself. In my opinion it should not make a change and do not void the warranty nor care refresh, but any other opinions on that?

I bought mine in Spain (CE), and I can confirm that after using the Drone Tweaks app and adding the file to the goggles card, I got rid of all the CE restrictions. Just tested today and I reached around 100km/h in manual mode without any issues. 69km/h was the max speed before, also in manual mode.

I've been searching through the comments for questions regarding benefits of choosing your own channels.

Do you think it’s even worth doing this considering Andy Kirby’s test showing the even in ce mode the avata 2 has similar penetration to fcc due to the o4 system, so Andy suggested there is no speed limit in ce mode on his drone, is the speed limit applied in the uk? Andy claims it isn’t

[@MadRC]

Range tests are complicated. It’s also not known if Andy was actually properly going an into ce mode as I have showed it’s possible to have FCC power with CE behaviour with the ham file. The simple realty is this. ham file and FCC is capable upto 1600mw. That’s a substantial increase in power and it’s open air real world use it’s going to have an effect. In some scenario it may be less noticeable as they have been able to improve CE with the 5.2Ghz mode however it will still help.

This is the only solid, comprehensive and consistent information I found about this whole thing - great content, thank you!! Now, the results I got were not that conclusive to me, still interesting to observe... here it goes: (and no, radio is not my area, I'm just a curious guy trying to understand it and play) 1) still in original CE mode, I have asked a relative to walk the street with the avata 2 on hands doing zig-zag on the blocks while I was on the balcony with the goggles: when turned the first right, signal degraded drastically as expected, but still working; and it went dark when she turned the next left - so 2 turns on the zig-zag of city blocks, with massive concrete buildings between goggles and drone, were enough to kill the signal completely - honestly, I didn't expect to be better. 2) applied the ham file in CE mode (expecting a wow result due to drastic dbm difference), and the same exercise as above: again signal degraded drastically after first turn, but it didn't go dark after the second turn, it instead kept a poor quality video at 1Mbps for much longer, could even reach the third turn. Does it make any sense? Did the ham file actually work or I was "luckier" with the second try? Seems like the quality and bitrate between the devices degraded at the same rate, even though the ham'ed try kept the poor 1Mbps past the dark point of the un-ham'ed try for another block.

When do think if at all will manual selection be worthwhile/needed to choose FCC+Ham instwad of CE+HAM? For performance reasons during power loops etc. or perhaps in known enviornments where one will penetrate better more reliably in heavy congested area or perhaps mainly long range on flatland, instead of Auto mode? Or is Auto mode good enogh if not better with how well it switches between 2.4/5.8 and also able to use tri band and therefore fcc hack is not really needed/beneficial? Andy Kirby made some good test demonstration where CE auto mode was either performaning same or superior at times as it seems. 🔥🔥🔥

As for Auto vs manual there are situations where Auto will be better and others where you really need to force it onto a specific channel to avoid it affecting other devices. Auto will be best for most users.

[@markus4979]

Yeah Like your thorough review / testing, appreciate the reply. Could you kindly explain in what situation manual would be preferable / beneficial? I also realise there is a difference in the performance during flight characteristics / interference or obstacles during the flight journey and finally at max distance, not easy to stress test everything i guess, the max distance being the easiest and tbh. (Btw. Bit surprised I haven't seen the max distance tests done with simply switching at the max distance location and comparing at different heights to take VLOS into consideration. That's what I tested last weekend and at first glance didn't see a huge difference).

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty interesting indeed! Thanks, Ian! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@exclusiveaerials]

you are a legend sir!!! Absolutely love your work!! 😃 Any chance of uploading the file and sharing the link in your description? Mac users would appreciate, including myself 😃

[@kael13]

Did you watch the video? Just make the file yourself.

[@exclusiveaerials]

@@kael13 need to get a program for mac :D

[@kael13]

@@exclusiveaerialsyou can remove file extensions on a Mac. Pretty sure. Or any free text editor.

@exclusiveaerials, there’s a link on his previous video :)

Sorry for the question but is a new thing for me...where i can find that HAM file ?

[@poppianejo3856]

Ok total Noob to the world of sUAV and FPV. If this question is to dumb, I’m willing to take the berating. My question is if I do the “FCC/HAM” unlock I will get the “manual mode speed” even though I’m using “RC Motion 3 controller”. Will the Aircraft control characteristics change because of the mode change that is associated with the FPV Remote controller3? I just want to make sure I understood this correctly. Thanks in advance.

[@RoadhawK66]

@poppianejo3856 Manual mode only works with the RC3, not the motion controller

How do I remove the height limit? I want to be able to climb mountains...

[@Thierry080]

Hey, did you ever find out if it can be removed?

[@benjaminfritzon5098]

@@Thierry080only way it can be bypassed is by landing higher up and resetting the home point to the new spot and you can fly higher depending on how much higher you landed on the mountain for example. Just be careful so you are able to retrieve the drone 😂

Hi .. i fly avata2 with Integra goggles and fpv controller 2 .. i use ham file in goggles.. i have 3 channels in transmission.. but i have 16mbps transmission ..whether the drone was at a distance of 1 meter or 1000 meters.. the mbps was constantly 16

[@MarkBowenPiano]

Sorry for what might be a silly question to all you drone pilots but I'm looking at buying an Avata 2 here in the UK and just wondering if this hack to get the extra speed is able to be removed at a later date or is it permanent once you've applied it to the Goggles 3? Thank you.

[@MadRC]

You can remove it by simply resetting the goggles.

[@MarkBowenPiano]

@@MadRC Ah that's great!! Thank you for letting me know.

[@vilnisphoto]

with CA in europe my drone looses signal at 350 meters,and DJI says that i have to send drone for checking. or its ok with CA that it looses signal on 350 meters

[@skunko162]

Does this pertain to US too?

[@Norvegr1]

Do you know anything about the 2km range cutoff? it doesn't seem like the ham fixes it..

[@necsoiub]

Does the ham file works for any OcuSync 4 drone? Does it works for DJI Air 3 for example?

[@MadRC]

No only for FPV drones. Drone hacks and drone tweaks offers options for other DJI drones.

[@aterkel71]

Thank you for this . VERY much appreciated!

[@Bentli75]

Hello! Can increasing the power damage the transmitter equipment?

[@SD-gg1hz]

So there is new firmaqe 0400 do i have to install it? Or need to install somehow to 0300?

[@ChristopherBarber-ow2vp]

Excellent video. Slightly of subject but does the ham file still work on the goggles 2 with the 03 the same as it always did. Really appreciate all your videos Ian. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@agbackingtracks7513]

Hello Ian. Will the ham file work as it is supposed to, with a combination of goggles 2, fpv remote 2 and Avata 2?

[@MadRC]

Yes

[@nevezeraa]

so my understanding is that the ham file is working just fine on the avata 2. But firstly does this works just as well with the goggles 2 and fpv rc 2? And also does this ham file workaround voids the care refresh plan?

[@pedro-pascualsilvera2982]

Will this work with the latest firmware V01.00.0400? Thanks

[@stefan2679]

Copied the HAM file to the gogles and the range seems the same... Does it only work in Manual Mode...?

[@dvdganon0812]

Is there a way to put the drone in ce mode? In case it is fcc from factory

[@user-we3ky3mf722]

Can i update any firmware after hacked?

[@Ciqita84]

Today I updated the drone and the fcc file does not work. Has anything changed with the update? What is the sequence of steps?

[@liamw2334]

I managed it first time I could select manual transmission I'm yet to test it but I have additional channels like you did so I'm hopefull

[@freeflightfilms7403]

how do you store the ham file on mac? I used Text Edit. Also I see if you dont update goggles 3 , just the quad and RC the Ham file is working. I have the Avata 1 and the FPV, It seems to work avata better range than FPV drone

[@michaelboden5089]

did you get any luck with this, im trying to create the file but not sure im using the right programme

[@VliegKunstenaar]

you can do so via command line, touch command is what you need.

[@Thierry080]

Does this still work or has it been patched by DJI? I'm thinking of getting an Avata 2 in the near future in Europe.

[@FlymyPhantom]

Will this mod work with the N3 goggles?
