Yingling A1 drone adds 4G video transmission enhancement module and classic remote controller

The Yingling A1 drone adds a 4G video transmission enhancement module and a classic remote controller. In testing, after installing the 4G module, the video transmission range increased from about 1.2 km to 3.5 km (limited by the test site's electronic geofence, not the module's maximum). The 4G module supports China Telecom and China Mobile networks and comes with 5GB of data valid for one year; the trade-off is about 7 minutes less battery life and latency rising to 100–200 ms. The classic remote controller supports complex camera movements such as backward flight, sideways flight, and orbiting flight, and adds two flight viewing modes: fixed viewpoint and free viewpoint.
