This is the open source Pagoda 2 antenna, designed by Maarten Baert, with a much longer coaxial semi-rigid cable to raise the pagoda above your head for significantly improved video reception.
When designing these antenna, Maarten had a few key features that he wanted to make sure were present. These were:
- Good omnidirectional radiation pattern.
- Good axial ratio.
- Reasonably small.
- Easy to manufacture within fine tolerances at low cost, even for a hobbyist.
And guess what? He succeeded! The Pagoda antenna offers every hobbyist all of the above at a very reasonable price.
This antenna offers top-of-the-line perceived video reception at a rock bottom price (compared with a TBS Triumph antenna on FuriousFPV True D X Module and Fatshark HDO goggles).
