BTW… The 5.8GHz patch antenna is just for the video…. You need a 2.4 GHz for control… Did Ming add an aftermarket 2.4 GHz antenna to his ST16?
Seems like he was just messing with the Video Antenna?

Thanks for the heads up as HAL mentioned Ming suggest LHCP, as well as a couple other people not sure where that information came from. Like Hal wonder what ITElite setup is I'll email them now that I have this information.

Here is a list of the antennas that 'Ming' tested - He said that No. 3 was best
Looking a Ming's latest video he seems to be using the 'Immersion 8dBi Left Circularly Polarized Mini Patch antenna' - The Manufacturer says - Much wider beam than its 13dBi cousin, with easily double the range of a standard SpiroNET Omni.
NYC... I don't know how Casey Neistat flys his Phantom around NYC. Sometime he takes off between buildings and shoots straight up and out which is crazy because NYC has tons of interference. I see no mods on his controller or Phantom as well. I fly a Phantom in my tiny suburb and I'm having issues 250 meters out! Which brings me back to the comment I made on RC Groups.... "Everyone's range will differ" no matter if we all do the same upgrade to the ST16 controller, because our environments are different & ever changing.
8DBi doubles the range verses the Omni….Since it is directional..Not double over the 13DBi antenna.
the 8DBi is not as directional as the 13DBi cousin (which has the narrower beam)…. They probably could say "triple the range of a standard SpiroNet Omni" in their description of the 13DBi antenna.
To be clear….They aren't comparing the 13DBi antenna to the Omni or the range in their sentence describing the 8DBi….Just stating a different radiation pattern...
Higher gain gives you higher Effective Radiated Power (ERP) --- But, using a directional antenna focuses that power in one direction and not in all directions like an Omni….Which should give you longer distance. Just don't point in another direction then the craft or you will lose that range.
And here is the CGO3 --- Wonder if the plus uses the same antenna? View attachment 567
I don't know how one tells left of right by a photo….Again….Counting on the Yuneec Tech to know which antenna is used by the CGO3+
Just go ahead and give the credit and info. We're all fellow RC enthusiasts here!someone has just sent in a photo from the CGO3+ on another forum showing clearly it is a LHCP antenna which if that photo was a little clearer, would show that exactly - sadly the Yuneec USA guy who said it was RHCP was obviously nothing to do with antennas
Just go ahead and give the credit and info. We're all fellow RC enthusiasts here!
