Jack's FPV Guide

by Jack  The Emax Tinyhawk RTF kit is one of the best FPV packages available. It includes absolutely everything needed to start flying, with a great experience for the price. However, for Emax to sell the TH RTF for such a bargain price, they have had to cut a few corners in some areas. If you're a TH RTF pilot looking for an even better flight experience, this short guide should help to point you in the right direction. Kit upgrades: #1: Goggle antennas The Emax transporter goggles included in the kit are not a bad pair of goggles, but if there's one area that lets them down the most, it would have to be the included dipole antennas. From personal experience, I found mine to have shockingly poor video range, and I just assumed it had to be a problem with the drone.   To my surprise, after upgrading both of the goggle antennas to the Menace RC Bandicoot antennas, I noticed a dramatic improvement in video range, and there was also significantly less static/ breakup. If you...

by Jack Introduction: TinyWhoops are arguably one of the most fun ways to experience FPV in a safe, cheap way. But, like all quads, they have their pros and their cons. If there's one common issue with all them, it would have to be the vtx range. With whoops shrinking in size and weight, it's not always possible to upgrade the vtx, and most of them are locked to 25mw which provides very little range. A few months back, I was searching for goggle antennas, and I found a total game changer for our whoops! Let me introduce you to the Menace RC Bandicoot Linear Patch antenna.  Background Info: TinyWhoops generally use linear whip dipole antennas, and these are a great choice as they're durable and light. However, when paired with traditional goggle antennas that are RHCP or LHCP, the range is effectively HALVED to only 12.5mw! This is because the linear antenna is broadcasting both signals left and right, so the traditional antenna will only pick up half of the signal. The band...
