TrueRC Singularity 5.8GHz Stubby Antenna Review for DJI Digital FPV System | Over 50% MORE Range?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- The TrueRC Singularity Stubbies have been and are the go-to omnidirectional antenna for the DJI Digital FPV system. They're smaller and supposedly have over 50% more range. Let's take a look at how they perform in Mangorille's particular type of flying application.

thanks for taking the time to do this. I've heard that they seem to be pretty similar to the stock antennas and the main advantage seems to be the size.
Definitely agree! There must be some particular scenario where they perform better and give the stated 50 percent more range. :)
Thank you for this review!🙏👍
Wow. Wonderful information and very well done. Informative. Thank you 👍👍👍
Very honest review! That's awesome!
Not awesome these type of tests dont mean anything he is not debugging any data
Thanks bro. I appreciate this video very much!!
Our pleasure!
The stock antennas can't be beaten for proximity flying around lots of shrubs and trees.
However for longer range flights I've found that using 2x menace digipack on the lower antennas and 2x foxeer lollipop antennas on the top two give fantastic results... The 50.8mbps hardly changes.
Thanks for this.. You saved me some cash. The stock antennas punch through trees and allow me to fly close to the water.. Thanks again 👍🏾
Our pleasure. The TrueRC antenna have their place being so small and low profile but don't seem to give you any additional punch or range (at least in our application). We still use them, especially with the convenience of fitting our goggles into our backpack without removing antennas.
Thank you for this information.
Our pleasure!
great test. thanks
Thanks Phil!
Great video. Been using stubbies for six months. I take my goggles out I fly. Nothing to screw on or off love them. Tried all kinds of antennas fo mmmh better reception the worst were of course the most expensive luminier axi2 set from getfpv that were not as good as stock. Havnt tried the menace Andy RC Likes they seem a good price. Cheers 🥂
Thanks bud. The convenience is soo hard to beat and we continue to run them. A bit of reduced range in our situation for the convenience is worth it. :)
Thanks for tye review. You saved me some money!
No problem. Love the name by the way!
@@Mangorille thanks buddy!😂
Nice comparison! Please compare them again in more different environment. Thanks!
For sure. A follow-up test will be to compare the penetration through buildings.
Did similar test yesterday, TrueRc sucks :( waste of money. Distance wise i got about 400 mtrs farther on stock antennas. Thank you for the honest No BS review 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Our pleasure. Looks like the form factor is the biggest selling point.
Mangorille yeah, but they do false advertisement, stating that its up to 50% more range... actually its up to 10% less range 😅🤦🏻♂️ idk, shall I return these antennas and ask for a refund? 😕🤔
I prefer the TrueRC Singularity because you don't need to remove the antenna. It' super compact.
Same here. They’re just so compact and seem to give a similar experience as the stock antenna. Still rocking them!
There are 2 versions of these antennas do you know which one is the 2nd version ? Nice video
Hey Alex. One version is the RP-SMA (the type DJI uses) and the other is a regular SMA. You need to make sure you get the correct one otherwise you will need to purchase an adapter separately to make the regular SMA work on the DJI.
Few tests include also flying behind oneself, where again the stock might do better.
That's a good point, I suspect the same experience behind as well but did not test that.
Nice video!, is that Near King City Ont. that you were flying?
It is! It looks like you fly out at Halton Hills?
@@Mangorille yes Halton Hills, hopefully we will be able to fly outdoors again soon at a club field. I’m thinking of joining the ELECTRIC MODEL FLYERS OF SOUTHERN ONTARIO club at Dufferin and the town line, I’m assuming your a club member there? I work just 6 minutes from that field. It would be handy to fly at lunch or right after work. Just got into drones in December and have only flown inside.
Try to test behind trees, walls or building with a lot of signal noise, see how is the stock antenna can maintain the signal strength under the stress test. I tried Xair, Maple, AXII(two plates, two stubby). Stock antenna performance outstanding under the stress environment, but so bad I don't have TRUE RC Stubby.
Thanks for the suggestion. This is the next test we have planned.
Thanks for the honest review. The music is a little bit to loud for headphones users…
Thanks for the feedback. Happy flying!
I have both truerc singularity and menace HD digipack antennas. I use stubby primarily. They smaller fit in my case . Easier to install. Seem to work ok for me. The digipack menace antenna worked great also but just a pin to install and uninstall to put away in case everytime.
But for me...I noticed I have better signal and penetration with the single antenna on vista geprc rocket lite. Than I do with air unit dual antenna on titan xl5.
Hey bud. I feel it has to do with the antenna position on the XL5. My DC5 has the same antenna placement and I suffer from degraded signal strength compared to my DC3 and when I moved the antenna elsewhere. Stay tuned for an upcoming video on this. :)
Thats interesting. I felt the same about my ih2 vs my dc5
@@Mangorille so side to side seems to b better then top and bottom!
I almost pulled the trigger on a set of VAS Victory Stubby Antenna For DJI last night but at £70 a set and after seeing most results for most antenna coming back showing little to no increase in range i decided against it, i couldn't find anyone who has tested the new VAS stubbies yet, be interesting to see how they perform as the price is pretty high
It’s looking like, unless you go with patch or directional antennas, the stock omnis are fairly good. Thanks DJI! 😉
@@Mangorille I bought a pair of the Menace RC pico patches (DigiPack) and was disappointed with the performance with these also, I tried them as the bottom 2 antennas on the goggles and found distance and signal penetration was identical to that of the standard DJI antennas. They now sit in my backpack in their box unused :(
Hi there! thanks for the video! Will those antenna work with the DJI Googles that comes with the DJI FPV Drone?
Hey. Are you using those goggles with the DJI FPV drone as well?
@@Mangorille hi there! Yes, using the Goggles that came with the DJI FPV.
@@Mangorille is it recommended to use “TrueRC” with the DJI FPV goggles?
@@YonnBurgos In that case no, the DJI drone uses both 2.4 ghz and 5.8 ghz frequencies. These antenna are tuned for 5.8ghz only.
I normally fly Freestyle and I do not go more than 1km, how do you think I will have better performance? I'm interested in 360 coverage not only in front, with the 4 truerc singularity, or with 2 truerc singularity and one truerc x air?
Hey. Don't think you will notice much of a difference in that kind of use. You may see a bit lower signal with the TrueRC like we did but you do get the smaller form factor, which is important for a lot of folks. If you want 360degree coverage, you need to stick with omni-directional antenna, which is what the stock and TrueRC singularity are. I would expect worse signal behind you if you use the X-Air as those are directional antenna and focus the beam in the direction they are pointing.
@@Mangorille
Perfect thank you very much, I thought it would be more balanced only with a truerc x air in case I needed a little more penetration if i fly in Bando.
@@johnnyo3947 I can say it wont hurt. I fly less than 400 meters most of the time and it still makes a difference for me. I fly in and out of trees and I have structures between me and my flying area. It also is great to have on your second pair of goggles so your viewer mode looks much better with less to no breakup. Final benefit is that they are much more compact and will fit into the stock carry bag and your gear much easier.
I wanna see these vs axii stubby vs lollipop stubby
Thanks. You just saved me a bunch of $
Our pleasure. They have their place with the lower profile but we didn't experience any increase in penetration.
You were testing it only close to the ground which might have been the main limiting range factor and not the antennas.
Interesting, this is a bit dissepointing as they were pretty expensive.
I will keep them thought becouse part of the reason for getting them was so they fit in my bag without the risk of breaking of an antenna when i jam it in there.
Felt the same way. Went into the review expecting to see a noticeable difference but that, unfortunately, didn’t happen. We’ll continue using them because they’re just so compact!
If you search “Pagoda omni array” in YT, the first video shows how a double-omni-array which trades altitude for distance, is way more promising in this application (something like the VAS skyhammer or TrueRC stacked fan).
What is with the chipmunk music?
just bought the dji fpv case from ali for fitting stock antennas) 25$ case to fit stock ant or 75$ lower profile truerc , but performance mainly the same. hmmm i choose the right one solution)
Tru rc greatly out perform stock. No antenna test can be done through impenetrable earth he has no data showing db gain even xair would of dropped in this manner also and they are 100% massive upgrade. Rc shim. He knows
Hi can you post a link for the case you bought please? I've been looking for one for a while! Thanks :)
Is it worth buying truerc antennas ? Is ut much difference?
Based on my experience, you don't get any noticeable increase in range but they are smaller so you can more easily fit the goggles with antenna attached into your backpack.
@Mangorille based on that I'll stay with oem antennas thanks
This will work with the DJI FPV drone also?
No, these are 5.8 ghz antenna and the DJI FPV drone uses both 5.8 and 2.4
I appreciate the effort you have put forth to create this video, however, after just creating a PhD level statistics course this semester, there is no way that we can say 1 test will yield statistically relevant results. We would need to run this a few more times then analyse the results using SPSS.
Thanks for the feedback, very tough to do a scientific antenna test while flying the drone. We tried to do multiple runs and come back with at least a decent indication of how each antenna performs.
There was more than one test run here. Yes they were all using the same units but you can hardly expect him to do over a 100 flights just to get a bigger pool of data. If that's what you're after, go watch multiple videos and you'll get what your after.
Why use that low point? Just test it on distance?
I'm not a long range pilot and wanted to do the side by side comparison based on our use case of flying around the property and, importantly, testing the penetration abilities of each antenna.
@@Mangorille I understand, but penetration refers more to going through trees and bushes, I am pretty sure RF long or short freq will not penetrate through rock and dirt.
@@srqcrna Ya for sure, was the closest I could find to replicate brick and concrete. Since both antenna were tested in as similar conditions as possible, still gave a fair side by side.
@@Mangorille I have those things too, I appreciate the comparison. They seem close, but the TrueRC claims of 50% more range... not sure. Ill probably use them since they are low profile. They could have sold them by saying same range but slimmer profile.
@@srqcrna I'm sure under the right situation that may be true. Still using them myself given the convenience.
贵贵贵
For sure!
@@Mangorille 我以为对你们外国人来说不贵呢
@@-fpv8262 Haha, no it is still expensive for us too. They cost roughly 10% of the DJI FPV combo itself.
@@Mangorille 好吧
i have the dji goggles for over 6 months now and i never take off the stock antennas, it just goes in my bag no problem
but thanks for this review i wont be buying these then
You're welcome. Sounds like you've got a really deep bag. With my Torvol, I had to remove the stock antenna so these were worth it from that perspective and I'm not a long range flyer anyway.
They didn't fit in mine, maybe v2 has a smaller bag
If they were better I’m sure Dji would have designed and installed a stubby antenna like that.
Agreed! The DJI antennas are so simple yet effective!
DJI limited the capacity of the antenna’s...
Jesse FPV , Yeah I never thought of that.
the stock antennas are linear…
You’re thinking of the goggles 2. The v1 and v2 have lhcp antennas.
You should not miss lead people with bad tests
Antenna testing is definitely tricky, unless in a lab. This test was a side by side comparison in a real world situation where we fly, following the same altitude, path, and speed as much as possible. Folks are free to make their own conclusion based on what they see. Even the suggestion of having one run with multiple antennas would be tricky because of the interference of the various transmitters in close proximity. Videos have previously shown that you get interference if you stand closer than a few feet from other pilots.
Looks like it might be a good review, but I couldn't get past the annoying music. Some sorta awful chipmunk dancehall nonsense. Skip it next time, it adds nothing to the review besides distraction.
Love the way you describe the music!
You're doing a penetration test not a range test... Don't you??
For sure, the penetration is being compared here too.
