Check out new upgraded version of our best-selling antenna - Penetrator!
In 5650-5930 MHz band, the antenna consistently have a VSWR below 1.3, making it one of the best performers out there. The improved V2 model goes even further, reaching a remarkable VSWR of 1.1 with a return loss of -27dB and an efficiency of 99.8%, across a bandwidth of almost 100-130MHz.
With it's impressive gain of 16dBi our long range FPV antennna - Penetrator V2, guarantees real performance improvements. Expect extended range and exceptional signal penetration thanks to its helical design - circular polarization - with 18 turns.
For optimal results, pair the antenna with an antenna tracker, especially recommended for extreme long-range flights. The Prodrone PRO 18 Turn Helical antenna offers a beam width of about 25 degrees, providing focused coverage.
The semi-rigid cable used in all our Helical antenna series, crafted from high-quality RG402 cables (primarily sourced from trusted brands like Belden or Suhner), ensures durability and flexibility. This means you can bend the cable to your desired position, ideal for use with goggles, without the need for additional adapters. Plus, with minimal signal attenuation, you can fly even further without worrying about signal loss.
To get the best range and signal, it's smart to get this antenna with its matched antenna as a pair. And when you buy more antennas from us, they all work just as well in the same frequency range.

Absolutely perfect! Tune is spot on, range has greatly improvised and the video quality is far clearer. Looking forward to some massive range testing
