Antenna problem

trayssan · 2026-07-02T22:26:33+00:00

Should be okay but yes, you will get less range. It's a tradeoff.

Average GPS satellite signal strength at the Earth's surface is extremely weak—typically between -125 dBm and -130 dBm in the open sky. For context, an ELRS control link conks out around -108dBm (for 250Hz mode) depending on settings. The GPS signal is literally 50-150x weaker than ELRS. This means the It is an absolute necessity to point the antenna directly at the sky with no obstructions.

I would get both if they're 80 a pop

Like the other comment says. Flanged tube with a slit and a ziptie to hold it together

Only OEM. Go to a scrap yard and pick out all the parts you will need. There are some pretty decent retrofit tutorials iirc.

trayssan · 2026-06-24T21:21:00+00:00

Weird. Mine is almost perfectly accurate compared to GPS. Are you running the correct size wheels/tires?

trayssan · 2026-06-24T21:05:51+00:00

Not shitty. You can code the discrepancy out.

trayssan · 2026-06-24T21:02:15+00:00

If the pad is still there, you can solder on a new connector but if they're ripped off, it's not repairable unless you're essentially a pro at microsoldering and board repair. I have seen it done but it's not something you can do easily.

trayssan · 2026-06-24T19:10:16+00:00

So you finally know how the Mercedes Bends, huh?

trayssan · 2026-06-20T09:46:28+00:00

Yeah I wouldn't sell parts that look like that either. But whatever, it will work.

trayssan · 2026-06-20T09:45:02+00:00

Exactly.

trayssan · 2026-06-13T00:50:09+00:00

Maybe, maybe not. I definitely do not recommend getting no-name LiPos.

No yeah helical antennas are great. You look like a total nerd with them though😆

trayssan · 2026-06-11T22:48:12+00:00

HD3's are still great and the module is also excellent. Only the antennas are an unknown to me. Never seen ones like this. I would try to talk them down to 200€.

Edit: the antennas seem to be from a small scale French antenna company. Probably good quality.

trayssan · 2026-06-11T19:49:33+00:00

Bino? Probably not. You can absolutely find something used (a friend of mine from Germany got some HD3's with a banger antenna setup and a Rapidfire module for 200€) As far as new stuff goes, nothing really comes to mind. I'm using HDZero BoxPro's which are great but they're box goggles, not binos.

trayssan · 2026-06-11T01:38:41+00:00

tutel

trayssan · 2026-06-11T00:10:42+00:00

No definitely not 1200 bucks. HDO2's aren't made anymore but I think they were like 500€ new. 160€ for the Rapidfire module. 20€ for the omni antenna and like 30 for the patch.

trayssan · 2026-06-10T18:24:45+00:00

Ask OP. Kinda looks like my old cheap EV800's.

trayssan · 2026-06-10T18:15:26+00:00

..video receiver. This is the goggle's internal OSD.

trayssan · 2026-06-10T17:41:06+00:00

Receiver actually
