Losing FPV Signal? How This 10W Booster Extends Your Drone's Range to 3km!
Introduction: Why Your FPV Setup Needs Professional-Grade Amplification
Imagine this: You're mid-race, navigating through a tight forest course when suddenly—static. Your video feed cuts out, and your $2,000 drone becomes an uncontrolled projectile. For FPV pilots and professional drone operators, weak signal strength isn't just frustrating; it's expensive.
The MAX-2 5.8GHz 10W Portable Booster solves this problem with military-grade amplification, delivering:
-
10W (40dBm) of clean power—5X stronger than consumer boosters
-
5+ hours of runtime (22.2V/5000mAh battery)
-
IP68 waterproofing for all-weather reliability
-
Ultra-low 2.5dB noise for crystal-clear HD video
Whether you're pushing the limits of long-range exploration or competing in high-speed races, this guide shows how the MAX-2 can transform your signal reliability.
