After hundreds of hours of watching drone videos and including every episode of FliteTest I have never known this trick! Amazing, and yesterday I just did the ziptie method on my new kingkong flyegg 130, I may have to go back and change it to this method, amazing lol
I've got a lizard and love it! I have crashed it and rebuilt it several times. It is a beast! I don't like the cloverleaf antenna though. I'm going to change mine out like yours.
I recently had one of these little antennas loosen and pop off during a flight. I was only a few metres up and away and so dropped her ASAP to work out what had occurred. I had heat shrink over the entire VTX 03 but had taken it off as I had rewired it and forgotten to simply cover it again. Seriously, i'd crashed about 100 times with no issues. My full cover job certainly had worked but I like this idea also. I never thought about glue under the heat shrink and laying it over the actual connector. Certainly, these are great little VTX's. I'm wondering what range you might be getting or if you're using diversity receivers. Im using the cheaper Eachine EV100's and getting about 200-250metres but this is only antenna diversity. The active antenna seems to always divert to the Aomway larger rectangular patch antenna. I only get slightly further with a VAS helical. So I'm curious if diversity is providing people with a stack more range.. and have you ever added or attempted to add a circular polarised antenna to the connector...wondering if these would get more range out of it. Thanks for your post!
Oh and idk if you or if you know anyone looking for a set of fatshark style goggle, I noticed earlier that banggood got the eachine ev100 for $100 it's got diversity antennas n all ,and they look really good
JJRotoGeek ohhh ok that's the goggles that came to mind when I seen them , and I think even without the DVR that's a good deal if they preform as they say they do , n if I wouldn't have just bought the ev800's I think I would've bought them , n I've been wanting to try the aomway's I've heard they are awesome, the first goggles I got was the hyperion thin view and they are some pretty good ones but not to learn on ...
Dont think they are diversity. Mine are only antenna diversity. And the dipole work almost as good as the cicular polarised and flat panel..these dont get too much further from my limited trial. The circular allowed me to go into bushes about 7 metres deep before loosing it whearas the dipoles dropped almost instantly as i went into tree line.
lol.. naaa.. ideas born from necessity. I have an antenna review uplkoading right now that should be done in about 30 min youll like.,., its a review but theres some tech tips in it to for other antenna types.
hey there!!!!!! first thing, how much do you want to spend? i will tell you what i think the best is for the money. Whatch this as well. it may help you a little ua-cam.com/video/hwYnyobCwSE/v-deo.html

Just love reviewing the oldies; I learn so much for a old guy. I use the eachine 03 also.
I thought I was the old guy lol
@@jjrotogeek i retired 3 years ago and just started building these quads, I am still learning how to keep them in the sky lol
Lolol ditto. In the sky isn’t my problem. It’s the ground that gives me issues
Tips from a pro ! So much to learn ,,,,,
Very nice solution. I would have to use it as well :-)
Great!!! Hope it works out for ya brother!!!

Agreed. Yes that was a great bird for a prebuilt.

Great trick and the antenna can't pop off. Also you will love the commanders there great.
Bam! Now I can keep it up! Ha! As always great tips jj.
Bam brother.
Hey JJ, where is the best place to get heat shrink from for this hobby? Is it online or local hardware store like Lowe's? Thanks in advance for reply.

Bam awesome brother. Yeah it works really well
