Eachine E58 Drone RANGE MOD TEST With Dipole Antenna Upgrade (Works For Any Rc Quadcopter)

[@coldspring22]

Nice range test. Good to know E58 isn't software limited. Another guy did antenna mod on E520S and found it didnt extend range at all as it was limited by software.

[@HowToDIYRc]

Thanks for the info! but i did so many different antenna upgrades and mods with improving the range almost everytime the max for the e58 was 600 meters that 10x more then the stock eachine e58

[@FourPointsBJJ]

This is awesome. Love how you are pushing the capacity of cheap drones

[@HowToDIYRc]

Me too :D it's so much more fun now you can fly a lot higher and take better pictures and get a lot more use out of the drone for just a few extra dollars

[@charlestaylor2255]

May be you can help me i have a holy stone HS 720 GPS 4k camara drone i will like to install a bigger antenna for my transmitter remote control for a holy stone HS drone you have a video of it or you can show me how thanks for your help

[@HowToDIYRc]

Check my Playlist eachine e58 upgrades and mods I did a few useful antenna upgrades you can use on your drone

[@charlestaylor2255]

What you think about a holy stone HS 720 gps 4k camara drone is good or not thank you i have one

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Great range test Dave, glad you found it in the tall grass after that impressive 284m control range test.. Well done man👍 big like from me.. Look forward to the next range test adventure of over 1km 🙂

[@HowToDIYRc]

haha ya i´m pretty nervous about the 1km range test with no gps and beeper pff do have one trick in my bag to find my lost drone coming up next week thx for the support

[@mateusaraujotv]

Eu sou brasileiro, ultimamente estou vendo bastante seus vídeos do Eachine e58, para modificações e testes.. Estou gostando bastante haha. Porque comprei esse drone, e quero modificar assim também.

[@HowToDIYRc]

isso é ótimo, temos muitos vids no E58 e mais upgrades chegando para assistir greetong da Holanda

[@antonysilva5997]

Como faz para ele ir tao longe

[@whereasthepeople]

That's wicked bro keep the upgraders coming.

[@HowToDIYRc]

i try but it's getting really hard after we made so many vids but thx i try to come up with something new :D

[@xray364]

I know you made this video a while back but very nice indeed. I wonder if the same can be done with the EaChine 511S

[@HowToDIYRc]

yes yes this mod works for all drones and you really need the extra range to fly higher and get better video shots :D

[@STEVOD313]

That looks like a cool drone for $99, I’m still needing a drone, only have a lil guy the furibee f36 but I’d like to get one for outside n perfurably one with a camera. Great review my friend! Awesome brotha!

[@HowToDIYRc]

hu 99dollars are you crazy for that you can buy the dji tello this cost only $36 to 50dollars mate super cheap and way better build than the other wifi fpv drones on the market for the price

[@STEVOD313]

How To DIY Rc Oh I thought I seen it said it was $99 but must of been on another video, ya let me know a good drone to get with camera that is good for the money,cus I don’t know much about the drone stuff

[@Newwaver2007]

Great mod man, I'll look for to get my upgrade too :) thanks for making this

no i am sorry but we did make a vid showing how you can upgrade your tx antenna kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJS4e4ykoMugo6M links to the antenna are in the discription hope this helps

[@davidkon9466]

I suggest that you set up a flag, a flag, or turn on the tracking camera, as this could help you know where to fly. You found it well at 284 m. Good idea for an additional antenna. What is the antenna and where did you buy it?

[@HowToDIYRc]

the links are down below in the description and we an in-depth vid on how to this mod linked in the vid and at the end apriciated if you watch the full vid really helps me

[@mozzah]

I am considering doing the same mod to my each one (which is currently broken), how hard do you think it is to do? Good to know the range

[@HowToDIYRc]

it pretty easy made a vid last week on how to this modification to the transmitter kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJS4e4ykoMugo6M good luck

[@Diehard4077]

What broke

[@Remoteaddicted]

Super cool mod and nice range test. Looks like it works great. Nice 👌

[@HowToDIYRc]

+Remote Addicted ithe mod is working so good we almost lost hahaha🖒

[@droneredneck170]

Awesome range test of your mod. I would recommend you get a uhf tracker to help locate drones on those epic flights!

[@HowToDIYRc]

uhf tracker hmm good idea do you know any affordable ones ?

[@droneredneck170]

How To DIY Rc Getting ready for work now, will get info to you in a day or so. I got mine from a company in New Zealand (if I'm remembering right ). It cost about 35.00 US. You'll need a UHF radio. I got one from Amazon for around 30.00 US. I haven't tried it yet but plan on testing it soon. I'll try to do a video when I do.

[@HowToDIYRc]

thank you for the link it's the real deal i like it very old skool but works well and pretty small and lightweight except the uhf radio and antenna is going to be big if we want any good range looking forward to your vid sir :D

[@droneredneck170]

How To DIY Rc I've been watching videos on building your own directional yagi antenna. They are big but you can design them to fold down for easy transport.

[@_MX_-bs6ux]

Really Awesome the range!

[@HowToDIYRc]

ya thank it impressed me to how good this works what if we do the same thing to the drone crazy right for just a few dollars and some soldering

[@amaadmirza2964]

how about FPV video through drone have you test it along increase distance. does this technique affect both camera and range!!

[@HowToDIYRc]

no not this time because we only did the antenna mod to the transmitter when we mod the e58 drone then we have to choose to boost the range of the wifi FPV or from the drone itself coming up in an upcoming episode

[@amaadmirza2964]

will be waiting for your next video. hope you will test FPV video from drone along range increase ;)

[@HowToDIYRc]

For sure Sir :D

[@porauan5347]

Help me!!! I made this modification, but it did not work. continues with the measly 50 meters. What do I do? I did the modification exactly that way and it did not work out. Help me

[@HowToDIYRc]

remove the extra wire running from the circuit board to the positive antenna wire

what mod for fpv trasmition wifi ? wifi booster? mod camera?

[@HowToDIYRc]

coming up very soon we try one mod that failed and try a new one today fingers crossed

[@GroundControlRC]

Nice range test at 284 meters that's pretty impressive. Now you just need someone to cut the grass ;-) Happy Flying!

[@HowToDIYRc]

hahaha ya already looking into a new location but we need to be quick in these hot days

[@Tish0eX]

Nice mod! Did you know how much will the range extend if I only mod the controler without the drone (I now confident in my skill to open and solder in the drone) ?

[@HowToDIYRc]

you double the range if not triple with the correct antenna and having the stock antenna from the drone sticking outside the canopy

[@JoystickQuebradooficial]

What was the modification you did to the drone?

[@HowToDIYRc]

+Joystick Quebrado the dipole antenna on the transmitter Sir links down below in the discription

[@enrikomulawarman7617]

If it out of range that's happen? It will land it self?

[@HowToDIYRc]

yep no signal and the motors start to spin at 50% and the quad slowly lands itself i really like it

[@rakeshshankar9100]

Is it a worth buying this drone(original mode) btw I subscribed

[@HowToDIYRc]

stock you get 160meters of range and we did a disassemble vid showing a good build quality and is much better compare to the more expansive jjrc h37 models so yes i do recommend this drone over other similar priced drones in the market

I really can't wait

when you will test wifi FPV video with this range enhancement ??

soon my friends pretty soon :D

[@williamandersen6484]

Why not just splice wire to the existing antenna wire, and run it up the existing plastic antenna mounts?

nice test, need a beeper or something to locate it just in case

thanks mate i'm looking into a small gps locator before attempting the 1 to 2km range test and new location with the grass cut for me :D

does it just shut off when out of range?

[@HowToDIYRc]

no it hover slowly back to ground and land

I lost mine yesterday for about an hour, such a relief to find it. It was up the tallest 🌲 at the park. I asked a young guy to help, and he climbed up. I gave him $10. Also I attached a bigger battery, flies up to 20 mins now. Got mine up to 200ft before the wind got it.

Bullbutter fake fake fake. I like how you started going back towards your take off location. I don’t know what the actual range is on that hunk but your whip antenna isn’t going to give it to much some but not much.
