Always great reviews thanks again Albert
Nice range test! I'm a big fan of these and there is nothing sticking off the side like other antennas I've seen. Plus the warranty doesn't get voided.
Those look pretty nice! Something that I'd like to have for sure. Great review, thanks!!
Great flying and review, Albert! 😃
The antennas really look nice!
Stay safe there! 🖖😊
Very cool. Better than stock and more convenient. Thanks for sharing!
I love the form factor of that antena, looks sick. Make dji easy to put into your backpack.
Look’s so cool and really easy to put in the backpack !
Thanks for this video 😉🍻
Yeah, the low profile setup is great for transportation.
Thanks for the demo. I like how you cleaned up the .SRT file as well. Easier to read the telemetry data when its re-formatted. I'm sure it took some extra time so wanted to say thanks.
Check out the data graphed here - instagram.com/p/CH_0oXVn5yt/
Nice review, I’m still waiting for my iflight crystal to arrive. Should be here in a couple days.
that looks cool
no reason for me to get that but still kinda cool that other companies are stepping up and helping the dji communty at there own game. thanks for the reveiw.
Happy Flying!!
I just tested the Maple Wireless Antenna and generally find very good signal because of the cover I can get by positioning the patches to cover most angles
Those are good but are a PITA to take off to put the goggles in my bag. The Crystal HD antenna is so much better for that.
thanks for the review. If i break a stock antenna this will be a set i consider for sure
damn thats cool lookin
Super cool.
I love the finish on these but the mighty Botgrinder needs huge antennas to show that he’s boss! Maybe antenna built from deer antlers would work. 🦌 #AlphaPilot
You can put your own Botgrinder stickers on this.
These are some good lookin antennas, I wouldn't even know they were antennas if I didn't know! Great review, I just wish I could afford digital :( XD
Interesting find. From what I’ve seen patch antennas also have a bit better penetration for concrete structures. My friend who runs patch antennas can fly with clearer video than me with my CP antennas.
I do like the form factor also. That way it will still fit in the stock case without removing the antennas which have a limited mating cycle
Yep, the form factor is a big win IMO.
I think the design is a really good idea. I lot of people would be bothered by the stock antennas. I know lumineer did it first but good to see other companies try it
nice review! thanks
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
My pleasure 😊
That is nice might have to consider this upgrade to my goggles
Great video
Dji system has the best looking antennas period
Wow best looking antennas... really stealth
Nae good for wobble heads. Looking forward to getting some HD stuff in a year or so. Just enjoying analogue currently if you feel like reviewing that anytime soon haha. I hear the transtec lightning is jot to shabby!
Keep sending it Albert!
So nice antennas, like that they fit right in the goggles, and the grap is soo nice! could have been a tad bether Db but i guess for closerange its perfect and take little place.
Great review. They look like they belong on the goggles. I've been working on keeping my head pointed in the right direction with patches. It takes practice. 🤓
Very good video Albert. I fly freestyle and still have some analog quads around so I use the DJI goggles with the BDI Digitapter and the truerc stubbies work fantastic. The crystal HD won't work in my case as the Digitapter already uses the face plate to be able to fit my rapidfire module.
Use the adapter on the side
Thanks like always great video, RCSchim is hopefully comparing them with all the others scientifically but overall they look very nice!
Nice review. I will consider them - I do want to upgrade my DJI antennas at some point. Do you know if it would fit in the DJI bag with the stubby antennas attached? I hate taking the antennas on and off to transport the goggles.
Nice test ! It would have been great to know how far away you were flying...
I recognize those blimp hangars. Thats Tustin!
Excellent video! Thank You friend🙂 new subscriber 🤙
Thanks for the sub!
Nice I’ve been waiting for your review since you’re always neutral! Looks like a slight improvement but I think the main advantage to all these dji antennas is the form factor more than anything. I get crazy range with stock ones already and i have a special foam mold to put them in my bag, so I guess I’ll stick with them.

patch works best on top/bottom right I've found
thnks kim
So happy you did this review, been eyeballing this setup for a while lol How do you think just using four of the Crystal stubbies would perform?
Personally, I wouldn't go with that setup. It probably will perform similar to stock so you just get the benefit of the low profile stubbies.
@@AlbertKimTV Yeah I want them to fit in my backpack but don't want to pay $80 for TrueRC's lol
Oooo how i wish i can fly dji but oneee day this patch antenna looks better then the axi one nice review keep the great content coming
ditto, I'm using the emax transporter goggles lol
@@kwadkrazy6078 I started wit thst now flying aomway v1 found them used 100 bucks on FB lol
Hey Albert if been able to fly a mile sitting in my truck with the stock setup. 5 miles outside with 4 MenacerRc DJII antenna love DJI. Thanks for the video.
I am watching for the 25 test. Maybe you can fly in on the deck down just above one of the paths both times to demonstrate penetration through trees as well?
Ty
I’d like to see how it compares if though attach the antenna to the top and the stubby on the bottom
Another great review. i really wanna make the switch to digital but the price is holding me back + i enjoy my whoops -_- lol
Some of the patch antennas don’t come with the stubs! What stubs should I get for the DJI V2 goggles? Stubs that are LHCP ? Do I need to make sure they are dual band too ! - Thanks
There aren't any stubby antennas that are dual band. Same with the patch. These are for V1.
@@AlbertKimTV ahh strange, my friend has the V2 with iflight crystal patch and stubs ! I’ll have a Google thanks
Great video but did you have to do any configuring in the settings after installation or does it work right outa the box? Thanks!!
I did not change any settings.
hi Albert, thanks for the video? Why does the manufacturer put them upside down in the images of the product? the patch above and the others below? Or does this matter and does not influence anything?
I don't think it matters too much but when you are closer, the CP antennas will work better when they are on top. But the difference is very small.
awesome Kim.
So smooth and high quality.. And yeah have to say this thing is great.
Keep going.. Best of luck.
Looks good - holding off on the digital systems until Fatshark and Orqa refine or deliver a close competitor... so analog for the near future
Near future sounds like dji in the distant future
You will be waiting several months..
Might be even more worth it if the goggles will still squeeze into the NewBeeDrone case with the patch connectors still on the bottom. (It fits with the TrueRC stubbies on the top but you still have to remove the bottom ones.)
It does go into the NBD case but it's super snug. I'm not sure if there is any pressure on the SMA connector and if that's gonna be an issue later.
Could you fly that spot one more time with the patches connected to the top ports?
Search for Josh Bardwell! He testet Whats the best( bottom)
Best to put antennas on bottom or top in uk ?
SicK!!! So NiCe 👌
These are sharp and it seems like you liked them. Will you stick with these or go back to stock antennas?
Gonna stick with these.
They seems to perform great. But stock are also good 😆
Nice ensign, but again minimal difference at lest there. You should also test behind oneself, where the stock might do better.
I saw the protek in the background. I need some reviews. I want one lol
Video is out today. th-cam.com/video/8FLOdJZT8Y8/w-d-xo.html
Nice vid, so if I'm putting the iflight connectors in the antennas at the bottom can I put 2 of the dji fpv antennas at the top ?
That's what I did. I'm just using the iFlight stubbies on top instead of the DJI antennas.
hello albert, thank you for the video, do you know if the crystal patch works with the dji fpv drone?
Was not designed for the V2 though I hear some people still use it but I don't think it is optimal.

great video! Question, what would be the best position for crytals, to connect only to the RX (top left, bottom right), or crystal up and omni down, or Crystal down and omni up?
I feel like the way I have it is best but others disagree and do the opposite. What I tell people is to try both ways and see what they like better. I think it may have a lot to do with where one flies and the kinds of interference one might experience that will lead to different results for every pilot.
@@AlbertKimTV Thx Albert. Is your configuration omni top and patch down? Do you use dji v2?
I saw a video or read somewhere u should put the patch antenna on top cause those inputs receive and send..
I dont know first hand why that is...
Any plans to do direct comparisons with the other antenna systems available?
No plans unless they come up with something as well integrated and low profile as this.
Is there a consensus yet on whether patches should be connected to the top or the bottom? I've seen both suggested, never tested.
I've heard the performance is almost the same either way.
Hi @Albert Kim is better to connect patch on upper or lower connectors? I read that the only antenna that transmits and receives is the one at the bottom right (looking at the goggles from the front). Is it better to connect the patch or the omni here? Thanks
I've found that having the omni's on top seem to give better signal for near to medium range. If you fly long range, reverse it and use super long omni antennas on the bottom for optimal range. This is on the V1 of course. The V2 results are kinda all over the place. I've heard many conflicting stories that I can't verify as I don't have the V2 goggles.
@@AlbertKimTV thanks
I can't wait for the day that digital fpv becomes cheap, then I could afford it haha
Lol
It's DJI we're talking about, so good luck lol
@@FAQUERETERMAX quite true but hopefully other brands begin to make digital, and maybe even eachine will make some goggles for ultra low budget users
@@sleepingbearffg5008 well I just us my phone and an otg fpv thing to fly, I mount it on a tripod and stare at the screen... It's not the fanciest setup but it gets the job done
A full dji system is cheaper than Fatshark HDO2S plus sharkbyte just saying
I can't make up my mind, with these or the lumineer axii 2 ones, stock ones I can stay at 50 megabytes per second for a mile and up really high at same time. on 700.. wonder if replacing the stock ones will get the same range, I just need lower-profile, and my bottom antennas getting a little bit wobbley.
I've been using these for a long time and have not switched back. These are more directional so you have to point the antennas at your quad to get the best reception. Also, the antenna on the quad is pretty important too. I've run into a lot of people who had bad antennas on the quad and they thought it was this antenna but it took a long time to figure that out!
I wish they made one that can work in conjunction with an analog adapter. The main reason I switched to DJI was because I could still run analog (using the BDI adapter)
Do you have recommendations on good upgrade antennas that can replace the stock antennas, in their same slots?
I bet dji makes it built in for limited channels maybe on the second set of goggles. For now I feel your pain . It’s a lot goin on
@@NoiseBoysGarage that would be nice. I love running my rapidfire on the dji goggles. Truly is the best of both worlds
Would you just lose multipath ability and gain range? Are they only to consider for long range pilots, or would it be good for trees, bit of extra punch for canopy? Can they be used every day? I got those furious fpv stubbies whilst waiting because cheap to try,.and they're great in trees.
The 2 omnis are for close anyway, so losing range in close isn't the payoff for losing 2 more omnis and gaining a patch surely. Could it be all stubbies is better concrete/bando/multipath. Whereas foliage which is absorbent might benefit from crystal? even freestyle ranges?
I use it for everyday flying. I will do some kind of penetration testing soon but I'm bogged down with other videos right now.
@@AlbertKimTV thanks Albert, certainly no criticism, I just really needed the answer because the patch was on offer 😂 and I fly forest a lot. And if I see your review I know its informed and honest, one of the few I trust for fair info.
Can you use the Patch with the DJI Antennas or do i need to buy the stubby Antennas in order to use the Patch?
You can use the DJI antennas if you want. The stubby antennas just make it easier to store in a bag and less likely to break.
Guys can some one please tell me what are these cool patches used for??? I dont know what to search for ?
Would you say get the dji now or wait if they actually do come with a v2 version?
well, one year after a new version came XD lets see on October/December the new O2 Air Unit. FOr now the Goggles 2 have some serious issues regarding vigneting and blurry edges, but outstanding image quality and range/penetration.
is this antenna is only for iflght can still bind my dpifpv drone to it?
There's a different version for that.
@@AlbertKimTV so this upgrade won’t work on djifpv.?
my little stubbies just growl.. Is it okay? they are brand new.
All of these upgraded DJI antennas are interesting, but I feel like most people won't run out the range on the stock ones so it just isn't worth the money.
It's not about range necessarily but a better image at the same range closer in than with stock antennas. See how consistent the bitrate is on this graph here - instagram.com/p/CH_0oXVn5yt/
@@AlbertKimTV Oh that's actually really interesting... I never thought about it that way. How'd you make that graph? Blackbox data?
@@AlbertKimTV ok, that shows a noticeable improvement. More than the image in the video.
please help me 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭, i acedentally broke my runcam split mini board to board connector what should i do how can i repair it ??? plz tell me
I have the patch antenna with the cartoon front and cartoon stubby's, and i have better range and more stabil range with the 4 original dji antennas :)
If i fly short to medium range omni direction will you recommend i stay with stock ?
Even at medium range if you fly in front of these antennas your signal quality will improve. You'll have better bitrate and video image even at shorter distances.
@@AlbertKimTV i get you but what if am flying backwards just random acro can I still use Crystal Patch Antenna ?
What kind of quad are you flying ?
From this video... th-cam.com/video/HJSolUzyTkA/w-d-xo.html
Is this a LHCP or RHCP? Does it make a difference?
According to the product specs this one is LHCP, however directional antennas are not usually CP.
My question is whether this or the axii hd setup is better. Can’t decide which to buy. 😝
From what I've seen on other tests, the performance is about the same
@@AlbertKimTV would you say the beam width is not as wide? Both you and another reviewer have mentioned something about the beam width.
can this be used together with dji avata ?
The Avata only works with the V2 goggles. This is the V1 goggles. I don't know if these work with the V2 goggles or not.
@@AlbertKimTV these are literally v 2 Googles, other ones are DJI 2 goggles
I so want to buy some DJI goggles
Can these be used on V2 Goggles?
No
Cant wait for DJI to make a whoop board maybe 500mW
Naked vistas are pretty darn light
@@yolofpv2936 15g or less with Nebula? I think its 28g with dji cam and full dress.
@@divingfalconfpv4602 14.2g with the nebula and naked vista board.
@@yolofpv2936 oh thats nice.. thats perfect. Lighter than tarsier
@@divingfalconfpv4602 Yup. And the goggles record pretty much what you see through the goggles and not that crappy Fatshark DVR where the recording looks worse than the FPV feed
Nice video but way out of my price range unlike the I flight rs120 v1.
Bitrate and latency data in graph format on my Instagram here - instagram.com/p/CH_0oXVn5yt/
Doesn't seem to be a substantial difference. Looks good though. Would like to see a comparison with the True RC X-Air (I fly with those)
See the bitrate and latency data graphed and you can see how much more consistent the Crystal antennas is... even when there is a drop, the recovery is also a lot faster too... instagram.com/p/CH_0oXVn5yt/
@@AlbertKimTV Yes, appears to be much less erratic signal strength. Can you do a head-to-head showdown versus a pair of True RC X-Air?
@@checkeredflagfilms I no longer have those antennas. It was super inconvenient to take those off the goggles all the time so I stopped using them.
@@AlbertKimTV Ahh...I just lie mine flat in the case and I never have to remove them.
I have the menace which I like but do I know they are better 🤷🏽♂️ sure . Jk who knows I just listen to the TH-camrs
I like those stubbies
Were these for 5.8 or 2.4? Here in USA should we look for 2.4 or 5.8 or does it matter? I picked up this exact set but now noticed it is 5.8ghz and wondering if i should find something 2.4?
This is super old and came out before the V2 goggles came out. They work on 5.8 only. I think there might be a version for both 2.4 and 5.8 but I don't have that one. I would contact iFlight support to inquire about those.
@@AlbertKimTV DAMN lol that means that these are doing NOTHING for me then LOL might explain the poor signals LMAO i must have been tipsy when I was on Amazon
i used HD patch antenna and mated with two stock antennas keeping the beauty of both worlds
I wanna buy it but how do I know which (LHCP OR RHCP) to get?
The patch antenna only comes in LHCP. For the stubbies you want LHCP.
@@AlbertKimTV awesome. Thanks so much. Awesome video too.
Hey what happens If you go to far and lose video?! Does it come back like analog? Thanks!
You get a black screen (no video). If your drone has RTH, when it is close enough for the signal to connect, the video will come back.
@AlbertKimTV Great! Thank you so much Albert. I thought I read somewhere... you wouldnt regain vtx signal.. But thanks again!
I’m not sure why but I thought you were in Hawaii. This ain’t Hawaii lol.
I always use a ground station whenever I use patch antenna. And flight path is planed on map before takeoff when I use patch antenna.
👍
Hi thanks for this can you help me to bind to DJI Google's. can it work without the stubbies ie top can work with dji
Just install it on front with the four screws and connect the antenna connections to the top or bottom. I use the bottom two. You can use this with the DJI antennas.
I would also note that the axii hd has wider beam width than the iflight crystal does.
They look funny on my fatshark,😂🤣🤣
Could I ask, Why do you think DJI would not improve on their goggles by adding the best patches or antennas, why would they let other companies improve on their product?
I love the look and performance but I always dip my head when flying. I literally "look" at my hands. For that reason, I think x-airs would be better for me since you can adjust the angle up. At least I believe you can.
