Thanks for going back to get the SD card. I just subbed and I'll use your Amazon links for my next few purchases (I spread my link usage out among multiple TH-camrs).
I like your jacket defiantly getting one of them. And this antenna is the way to go for low profile look. It’s going to get better with future tech to come. Great vid awesome show.
oh snap, no wonder I couldn't find that quad, didn't watch the end of the video and ran off to get it but you beat me to it. 🤣😂 appreciate what you do, keep up the great content
Sorry about your quad dude I've had two of them fall in the lake when they were my only quad at the time LOL. I just lost a 6-inch not that long ago showing my brother my quad and it fail-safes right as I got over his Lake and has never fail safe before I'm taking it out a half a mile a bunch of times. I walked around and Gator and snake infested waters here in Florida looking for it but I couldn't find it and was freaked out the whole time I was in chest deep water that I was going to step on an alligator lol I gave up after about 10 minutes. So I feel your pain brother
The Aerum antenna seemed like it would be really good on paper.. it had a lot of influence though. Glad you got your quad back. How are the hybrid tests going Mike? My protons only run the hybrid geometry now hahah.
What power output and channel were you using for this test? Did you try different channels and or power output settings? It would be interesting to see how these antenna perform in a crowd with multiple pilots all running the same setup.
this whole test was on 25mw. i will be using them at a race this weekend. i'll post an update on the blog: fpv-flightclub.com/tbs-aerum-antenna-review/
Thank you for getting it. When you said its up for grabs, I thought..spoiled silver spooned dude. I've ran boats for a long time and a retrieval method is a must. Quad retrieval is usually from a tree but must be done on a $300 Quad. I've left 30$ quads before tho..
haha, took me a while but i got it back. the esc and fc were fried. swapped it out and everything else works! it's actually my main race quad with my underwater parts! haha
Great video man,following you on instagram also.One thing though: i know you have the mount for the Aerum X on your site but where can i find it in Europe?
These are supposed to be race antennas right? I like your testing, worst case scenario type thing, but would you say they are definitely good enough for a race type setting?
i can't say because i haven't used them in a race yet but I will this weekend. I will post an update on the blog post: fpv-flightclub.com/tbs-aerum-antenna-review/
yes, for smartaudio on the pro32 working with betaflight, you have to be on at least 3.5.6 or connect it to your crossfire. check out this post: fpv-flightclub.com/tbs-unify-pro32-nano-vtx/
Craaazy video noise, looks like waves crossing the screen in different directions. Either tune up D-term (doubtful) or get better capacitance for your very noisy ESC/motors
Cool video I just don't see the need for em unless u race I guess less drag but trappy said they were equally to the triumph and I thought we he released em on tbs couch he didn't seem to proud of them he was like yeah they work about as good as the triumph or equally as good sorta seemed like they where not that good from his presentation
yeah i can see that they work as well as the triumph which are circular polarized. i guess i was expecting the range you get from a patch, which they do not compare. these will probably be good for a race though
Why do you say in the video description "Because these antennas are circular polarized, they are not designed for long range."? you can use CP for long range no problem
Have anyone asked you about all these rolls they have made for Drones? if not everything is Legal for you Brother. If all people used their freedoms in a good way and respect others we did not need so many creasy, corrupt, solled out trators called polotishens
comment! dang dude sucks you lost your quad in the drink! If you were here in Colorado you would have just smashed it into a 6" thick Ice Pond.... I can't wait for that 7" Bangkok Man! We all Enjoy your content anyways... saves a couple of us some bucks with all the damn hype! maybe you can write that one off on your taxes =D
i can't blame the crossfire. it was my fault for having two quads bound to the same transmitter. i had one of them right between my feet. i'm surprised it even worked for a little bit
My Mac and IPhone are made in China and they are solid. Can't say too much about my Lenovo though. Just because it is made in America Does not mean it's solid. I would never buy a Ford/Chevy/Chrysler made here in the good old USA, they are crap. Engineering, Materials, QA, QC, Iso 9001 etc. are what define things as being solid.
@@rsharney1111 I will agree with on many things you have mentioned. Not sure if VW is the pinnacle in engineering when it comes with plastic water pump impellers, plastic coolant hose connectors, Dual Mass Flywheel explosions, DI intake valve gunk, electrical problems along with expensive unnecessary maintenance. Shame on VW with DieselGate. The sad thing is labels are switched and assembled here and gets made in USA label. Know all about the watered down steel and aluminum problem. I don't care for TBS, I am here to find knowledge in what works. I am the the guy in a really big box with 6 pcs, mach3/cnc, autodesk/3d printer. I do read more than most and will never claim to know everything. But when someone says made in America, I laugh a little inside. Everything will fail at some point, you have to ask yourself, what is acceptable. My point is that quality can be made anywhere.
I always appreciate the honesty in your videos. Glad you got the quad back!
thanks!
Great informative vid man, sorry bout the loss 😬🤙🏼
Damn bro, 110% commitment on this test 😯 you have to grab that neutron tho 😪
got it back this morning! gave it a nice bath
@@FlightClubFPV Right on, did you just wash it with alcohol and brush?
Yes! so happy you got it back, I hate when I have to leave a quad behind lol Great review, I appreciate the effort.
Hated to hit the like button for the problems you encountered but glad you retrieved it. LOL Thanks for the test!
haha, appreciate it

Fish on!! Crazy vtx antenna. Didn’t look like it worked that good. Thanks Mike for the review.
they were ok, needs more testing though
Glad you got your Quad back .
Awesome video broski. Love ur commitment to ur videos.
thanks man!
Just blew my mind that you're in McKinney! Never seen anyone flying!
DAAAANG! Hope that thing dries out to see another flight. Thanks for all you do!
i'm scared to power it up, haha. waiting for a new batch of talon f7 and i'll probably just keep the frame but swap out the electronics
thanks for this honest review. keep up the good work
thanks!
now these are a true game changer. on goggles and on kwads. love the review and testing.
Nice fishing good thing you got it back 👍🏾👍🏾
Great video! Nice catch at the end to 🎣
Good job on the quad recovery, man. 🙂
nothing a branch, coat hanger and duct tape can't fix!
Great to see the fail saved quad back out of the water at the very end of this video :o)
Awesome job man!
Sad and glad for ya 😉
Hey Mike, Thats definitely a Keeper, do not throw it back!!!
Come out to Vegas and we can do some serious Fishing!!!
Blackwolf2111 I live across from the rc airport on Decature.
right on man! fish for fish i hope and not quads, haha
ofcourse it failsafes near the water. glad you were able to get it back.
i know right
Nice catch
thanks Mike!
Thanks for the info great video . Sorry you lost a quad better luck next time ..
all in the name of science

i'm loving it. getting more arms in next week so i'll do a post.

How come I never subscribed to your channel before?! Rectified that now haha 😊
THANKS!
Thank you for getting it. When you said its up for grabs, I thought..spoiled silver spooned dude. I've ran boats for a long time and a retrieval method is a must. Quad retrieval is usually from a tree but must be done on a $300 Quad. I've left 30$ quads before tho..

thanks dude, ill take the quad
For sale: only flown 1 time, all top of the line components freestyle quad - pick up only. Location: bottom of the pond.
hahaha
Thanks for doing the test, but I think that by flying away different heights and following different flight path makes it somewhat inconclusive.
Glad you recovered a soggy Quad.
Great video man,following you on instagram also.One thing though: i know you have the mount for the Aerum X on your site but where can i find it in Europe?
sorry, here it is: fpv-flightclub.com/products/tbs-aerum-polar-x-antenna-mount/
Don't forget to try Corrosion X..I love it. But it won't save speed controls. Everything else will be protected wit a coat of it.
Did you test with only changing the quad antenna Aerum and then only the reciever antenna Aerum? or do they only work as a set?
not yet but I will. i cut my tests short cause i dumped that one in the water
These are supposed to be race antennas right? I like your testing, worst case scenario type thing, but would you say they are definitely good enough for a race type setting?
i can't say because i haven't used them in a race yet but I will this weekend. I will post an update on the blog post:

You get better reception on 25mw than I do on 200.
Apparently time to get better antennas, lol.
a lot of things can ruin the signal too. yeah and antennas have gotten a lot better
Plot for the yaw then u can really tell what's up next time. Also what's your firmware on rapidfire?
i just updated to 1.2.4
thumbs up for the SDCARD and for this magically failsafe :)
They seem like they are meant for racing only. BTW, the last shot reminded me of the TPB Conky episode, lol
yeah, definitely not for long range
MIMO is bs for a mono 5.8 transmitter. TBS not being honest about this one.
Running the same electronics did you get smart audio working?
yes, for smartaudio on the pro32 working with betaflight, you have to be on at least 3.5.6 or connect it to your crossfire. check out this post:

U da Man Mike!
haha, thanks
@fligthclub I was literally just flying at the McKinney soccer fields. We need to get out an fly together.
let's do it! that's my testing field
Craaazy video noise, looks like waves crossing the screen in different directions. Either tune up D-term (doubtful) or get better capacitance for your very noisy ESC/motors
Now get Ivan and Sed to torture test that wet soaked quad n battery!
Why are linear antenna's not legal in multigp??
Cool video I just don't see the need for em unless u race I guess less drag but trappy said they were equally to the triumph and I thought we he released em on tbs couch he didn't seem to proud of them he was like yeah they work about as good as the triumph or equally as good sorta seemed like they where not that good from his presentation

Looks like you managed to catch a 5inch COD.
haha, expensive cod!
@@FlightClubFPV when a fisherman in my country brought one 1lb to many of cod he was fined a quarter of a million now that's expensive cod
Thought you're supposed to run two of the same antennas on the rapid fire
for a regular setup yes but the aerum are dual polarized
Thanks for the video - you can send me that neuron I’ll pay the shipping. Bought a bunch of frames and canopies off your website in the past
haha, thanks bro! I would but it has my only set of hybrid 6" arms
@@FlightClubFPV - no worries, I was joking. All of the quads that I have dumped in the water and snow have all worked fine after drying them out.
Why do you say in the video description "Because these antennas are circular polarized, they are not designed for long range."? you can use CP for long range no problem
Have anyone asked you about all these rolls they have made for Drones? if not everything is Legal for you Brother. If all people used their freedoms in a good way and respect others we did not need so many creasy, corrupt, solled out trators called polotishens
Haha I was gonna loose my shit if you didn’t go back and get that quad.
comment! dang dude sucks you lost your quad in the drink! If you were here in Colorado you would have just smashed it into a 6" thick Ice Pond....
I can't wait for that 7" Bangkok Man! We all Enjoy your content anyways... saves a couple of us some bucks with all the damn hype! maybe you can write that one off on your taxes =D
that one is going in the expense coulomb! 7" arms should be here in about 10 days or so
Agreed , these are bad for Freestyle... I returned mine.
What's up with the Bangkok?!?!?
they are on the way. because of chinese new year the CNC factory got wayyyyyyyy behind.
All antennas are wire ? Um what about pagod antenna patch antennas and so on...
You flew into the null at the end when you lost video and had to punch up.
Damn, dude... I hope you can reuse some components from that quad... 😕
gonna fire it up today and see. all i really cared about was getting my prototype arms back
...(no sd card in your phone?...or maybe I'm the only one stupid enough to forget that)......nice testing - mellow :-)
no, iphone. booo
@@FlightClubFPV ahhh - iPhone - value for money :-) my bad (written on a macbook)
@ 12:19 A pond full of Crossfire fanboi tears! LOL
i can't blame the crossfire. it was my fault for having two quads bound to the same transmitter. i had one of them right between my feet. i'm surprised it even worked for a little bit
If you run two cp antennas in that open are you video will be way better
OOOOHH. You're getting so blocked by Trappy.
haha
You lost a quad wheres the video of it?
did you not watch the video?
Those antennas kinda suck. Didn't do that great
That sucks
Tbs is just another Chinese Co. even if they have good ideas the service and execution is shit. find Made in USA and you'll be solid.
i agree to an extent. most of the TBS stuff is great. i don't think TBS makes these, they are rebranded
My Mac and IPhone are made in China and they are solid. Can't say too much about my Lenovo though. Just because it is made in America Does not mean it's solid. I would never buy a Ford/Chevy/Chrysler made here in the good old USA, they are crap. Engineering, Materials, QA, QC, Iso 9001 etc. are what define things as being solid.
these antennas are made in Germany dude ... *sigh*
