Skyreat Antenna Range Extender
Score: 68/100
Startrc Drone Strobe Light
Score: 77/100Rankings
The STARTRC Drone Strobe Light is a lightweight, rechargeable anti-collision LED offering up to 3 km visibility and multiple color modes. Its limited 70 mAh battery and lack of third-party validation are notable trade-offs. Ideal for hobbyist pilots needing a compact night-visibility solution for DJI Mini and Mavic models.
The Skyreat SKT266 is a lightweight 5.8 GHz Yagi-Uda antenna that significantly extends range for DJI Mini series drones while adding virtually no weight. Its drawbacks are the narrow directional beam, lack of weatherproofing, and limited technical documentation. It is best for hobbyists flying in open, line-of-sight conditions who need extra range.

No dedicated professional reviews were found, but antenna specialists acknowledge the SKT266’s high‑gain directional design as effective for extending line‑of‑sight range on DJI Mini drones, while cautioning about its narrow beamwidth and lack of weatherproofing.
RC hobbyists generally praise the antenna for its lightweight, compact form factor and the noticeable increase in range, often describing it as a game‑changer in open areas. However, they frequently note the difficulty of precise aiming and occasional signal loss when alignment is off.
Professional coverage is limited to product-page descriptions; reviewers emphasize FAA compliance, 3 km visibility, and versatile RGB lighting, positioning the strobe as a must-have safety accessory for DJI drones and other RC platforms.
No consumer reviews were found in the research, with at least one retailer noting that the product has "no reviews yet," so everyday user sentiment cannot be determined.
