Drones operating at a frequency of 2.4 GHz

2.4 GHz

— a very popular standard used in most modern entry-level and mid-range models. It uses channel separation, so that several of these remotes are able to work in close proximity without overlapping each other's signal and without creating mutual control problems. In addition, this range is quite noise-resistant, and is also well suited for creating models controlled from a smartphone (see the relevant paragraph) via Wi-Fi. However in terms of bandwidth and communication range, the 2.4 GHz standard is noticeably inferior to 5.8 GHz — however, this becomes noticeable only when performing complex professional tasks, and in most cases, the characteristics of this range are quite sufficient for normal control of a quadcopter. At the same time, the price and weight of such remotes are quite small.
