2025.01.12 - Winter Rip / New VTX Antenna Testing | 3.5" 6S Analog FPV Freestyle

Hello friendos!
Inspired by all the rad winter flight footage I've been seeing folks in my part of the world posting lately, I've been eagerly awaiting a good snow. Alas, all I got was a slight dusting. I actually flew two packs during this session but the second one was more of a range/signal test and not really all that interesting comparatively.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with the performance of this antenna over the stock dipole one. Signal quality seems more consistent overall and video signal quality at the far end of the flight shown in this video is about 8-10dB better than stock. I'm excited to eventually find some time to hit up a more open area to really see what kind of range 600mw can achieve on a 3.5".
