gps antenna rod, minimum length?

Hi all,

What is, if any, the minimum length the GPS antenna stick should have?

my drone, preassembled, like a dji F550, has a 10cm stick, but I wonder if there is any reason why it shoudl be that lenght or if it can be much lower?

does the lenght/height affect anything?

thanks

  • You mean the mast that hold the gps? If so it's main purpose is to keep it away from other electronics especially the esc's otherwise they can interfere with the gps, This is especially true if your gps also has the compass.
