Moved your post over to the pre-existing thread on the topic. Hopefully the above answers your question … although, being totally new there’s a possibility nobody is fully certain as yet. ---

Flew a bit further out today, still windy so until I know it’s limits I don’t want to push my luck. Anyway 570ft out and despite its tiny size and no strobons fitted, it was still quite visible in sky. What impressed me though, was the signal strength. ![image](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/6/b/6b43a8c74f2e639ff4fe75ac3fe77d156a69d278.jpeg) Flawless, is probably the only word I could use. And considering I flew it down a WiFi corridor of housing estates, even my MP has interference issues on the same trip. ---

Similar flight, with the MP, check out the difference: ![image](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/d/6/d63de603b9e0c303492b9e513d1ee321dfc015af.jpeg) ---

@PingSpike Wondering if you got this message when first firing up the mini? I get this on the 2 Pro when travelling to the US and then back again. This looks like an internal amendment of the transmission power, so I’m wondering if there really are two separate models…? ![20191117_085119_HDR](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/d/1/d1719f5313bc5980e08993db705ded56a7ac8732.jpeg) ---

@ianinlondon Yes mate, I got the exact same message the first time I powered it up. I’ve not seen it since (but then I’ve not changed region). Moved your post over to this thread on Mavic Mini FCC too - see first post and I’m now 100% sure there is only one hardware chipset and that they’re handling this through firmware, which DJI have always done anyway 👍🏻 Anyone on Android tried that GPS faker app (the name of which escapes me currently) to see if it bumps you up to FCC? ---

@PingSpike How are you producing the percentage uplink and downlink table above? I did do a long range test today; this woudl be great to see how it faired… Ian ---

Cheers Dave, I might give that a go just to see what it does 👍🏻 > [@ianinlondon](#): > > How are you producing the percentage uplink and downlink table above? They’re screen shots from AirData logs mate. I noticed here though that the Mavic Pro lists uplink separately from downlink whereas the Mini only lists a single value. Level of Ocusync detail vs wifi I guess? 🤷‍♂️ ---

This does not surprise me,given that DJI do this on most of there drones,at least now,IF i buy one i wont have to go the USA route…👍👍 ---

Ta… I’ll take a look; will make my 1000m range test more meaningful 🙂 ---

Hi! I am sorry for my English. FCC and CE version has hardware difference (not Firmware). American friends public high quality photo of RF module in drone. See link: [FCC vs CE](https://mavicpilots.com/threads/mavic-mini-a-look-inside.75814/page-4#post-869895) Can you help to Me and You to find high quality photo and model number of RF amplify chips in CE version? ---

Joystick mock location worked for me and my return to home function still returned the drone to my actual location. [Previous page](https://greyarro.ws/t/mavic-mini-fcc-vs-ce-and-two-different-models/10761.md?page=1)
