BEST DJI Goggles 2 Antenna Upgrade || FINALLY as good as Goggles V2 || TrueRC X-AIR 5.8 MK II Avata

[@torquedude]

Nice review, the true rc antennas performed great, I have used their antennas for years and have alway found them to be a top performer. Loved the free style flight at the end. Keep up the great videos. Rotor Flex 👍

[@TheTomJon]

Right? Love Hugo for making em! Been using em for years too!

[@DarwinAllen]

Nice, gonna give these a try. Nice to see a fellow Canadian on here talking about products that I can actually find here! Love the photography and FPV content. Hope you see more soon!

[@marcodallitalia5927]

OMG, man, !!! your skills to fly the bloody thing are just FANTASTIC!!!!!

[@jpalien1]

hey man just recently found your videos on beginner drone moves your content is awesome sad to see that your last video is a few months old keep it up man

[@TheTomJon]

Appreciate the feedback and encouragement! It helps and means a lot! Been plotting a few episodes 🤫

[@mohammadhusein9850]

I love the freestyling that was actually amazing going through the play structure. I recently got a fpv drone buy DJI but I think I gotta upgrade already lol

[@TheTomJon]

I mean it's a great drone just use it safely! It's not mean for a crash the same way mine is lol

[@deice3]

That's pretty exciting. I think the stock antennas were tested to go over 20km in clear air, going to be interesting to see how far these babies can go!

[@TheTomJon]

I'd love to conduct and post such tests if it was legal!

[@slapjack66]

​@@TheTomJonthat has been done before..... And the stoxk antennas win on range.... But not on penetration..

[@RandoManFPV]

​@@slapjack66any idea what the range is supposed to be on the bigger pair? Dji goggles v2 I guess theyre called, got 4 antennas and look like a halo mask lol. I think I set something up wrong or shi I don't even know anymore. I get like 200 yards of clear sight before I lose all video feed. I've got a nazgul5 HD v2 with cadx vista Radio master tx16s mk2 with built in elrs Dji goggles v2 I've tried 25mw and 700mw and it made the very slightest difference if any at all. Would 25mbps/50mbps change anything?

[@john-martin]

Battery only last for about 4 miles of total flight, so id rather have better penetration over 20km flights that wont be happening in the near future, I guess ill save the originals just in case!

[@Joey.Alford]

I was sure your puppies were falling off the bridge 😮 great vid man! The results speak for themselves range wise, easy choice!

[@TheTomJon]

🥰🥰🥰

[@stickboyfpv4742]

Nice vid man you seem like a coollll dude! Love the pups coming alongg!!

[@TheTomJon]

Appreciate ya bruv. Always torn between "trimming the narrative fat" versus "leaving in some human element" while editing. Justified leaving them in just for me so when I look back in 10 years I can see them as pups.

[@DJSemEvents]

Thanks for the awesome video, i think i will try... do you get left or right polarization?

[@TheTomJon]

I tend to go Left just because most people go right lol

[@DJSemEvents]

😂 well that sounds about right. I will do the same.

[@WindjumbieFPV]

I am considering getting myself a pair of these for walksnail, thanks for the info

[@crank_FPV]

Just bought these Can’t wait!!

[@TheTomJon]

You're gonna love em!

[@3rdEye__FPV]

Loving the content man!! Definitely just showed me what it is I need for my googles 2 setup. Was flying my Nazgûl the other day and nearly lost signal into some water. SIDENOTE: how do you like your evoque? Have you found yourself having to adjust any of the pid settings?

[@TheTomJon]

Appreciate ya! I havnt rly messed with it after binding. Been meaning to update to 4.4 and do a tune with GoPro on. It's not a bad quad; heavy but decently clean. Guess I should do a proper review eh??

[@simonrcfpv2597]

Just bought these me too 🤩thanks for sharing 😉🙌🏻!

[@NoCloud0]

Nice upgrade! Thanks.

[@upnorthFPVandEUC]

Super cool test and flight!

[@DominionDroneDaily]

can anyone confirm if there is a considerable signal loss between using these versus using the luminier goggles 2 adapters (MCX - SMA) with the sma version of this ? id rather wear out a set of adapters than the mcx on the goggles themselves. As it would no longer be feasible to store the goggle with the antennas mounted.

[@LehtusBphree2flyFPV]

Maybe maple wireless pro will come out with multipath antennas for the G2

[@finkelmann]

Thanks, appreciate the test! One question though - is this using the vista or the 03? Sorry if you mentioned it and i missed...

[@TheTomJon]

I don't remember either but o3 out performs vista

[@finkelmann]

Not surprising 😅 I was curious because your original video showed really poor range with the vista and o2. So wandering if these antennas level the field for the vista, or just make a marginal improvement on the o3.

[@TheTomJon]

They help dramatically as long as your pointing them at your quad. Patch antenna vs. omni... If you wanna know more dive into some antenna theory and types of antennas; it's actually super helpful and important to know. I see A LOT of lost quads on Facebook that are due to people not understanding broadcast theory or antenna theory.

[@finkelmann]

​@@TheTomJon I hear you. But i got an electrical engineering degree and majored in communications, so i reckon i got the theory part covered 😊 What bugs me is the polarization mismatch- the vista and OG air unit are lhcp. The o3 and goggles2 are dual linear polarized. In theory, it means you'll sacrifice a lot of signal by crossing the systems , unless you swap out the stock g2 antennas to lhcp. The polarization alone can explain your improved results... However, I've seen conflicting reviews, and only aftermarket patch antennas. No omnis. I fly all around, so i generally dislike patches.

[@TheTomJon]

That's good to hear. You can always swap the antenna on the quad too. We commonly swap polarization between races. As I'm sure you know but can have more pilots up if you coordinate the polarizations properly.

[@DeepHouse29]

It feels like you fell asleep first at the party and everyone took turns cutting your hair...)

[@TheTomJon]

🤣🤣

[@dronefilmsgermany]

i just another videof or the ORT antenna for DJI Googles 2. Have you tried them too?

[@stormriderfpv]

Nice test and cool vlog🤘

[@Halfwire]

Nice test ! Hey what is the 3d print on your Nazgûl ?

[@phiveone]

I came here for the dogs in coats.

[@TheTomJon]

They're the best ♥️♥️♥️ theyve become the mascots at our local racing chapter!

[@unixoid33]

so for googles v2 the best antennas are TrueRC X-AIR 5.8 ? If i love to fly at distances of 5-7km?

[@TheTomJon]

yessir

[@crank_FPV]

Dude also you the only one with the video on these!

[@table196]

Which polarization did you get? Does it matter? Seems that they only have RHCP in stock and not LHCP. Also, do you think the cosmetic defect pairs are worth the $20 discount?

[@table196]

P.S. i am running the o3 unit

[@TheTomJon]

@@table196 I'm running o3 too; it works with either I do believe but I went LH cuz lotta DJI stuff stock is LH. And idk anything about the cosmetic ones; I'd fire a message to em and ask. If it's just a scratch or something then for sure worth it.

[@table196]

@@TheTomJon They already wrote me back and they said that "Cosmetic on these is a connector that protrude a bit too much leaving a 0.5-1mm gap between goggles." So I would imagine that the 3d printed part makes them stick out further than the normal ones.

[@TheTomJon]

@@table196 thanks for sharing the info! Lemme know what you decide??

[@jgrudnicki]

Are you using the O3 air unit or a Vista in this test? What antenna on the quad?

[@TheTomJon]

Iflight nazgul 5dc O3 edition. Previous video does comparison of all the video systems except walksnail

[@jgrudnicki]

@@TheTomJon both O3 Air Unit and goggles 2 have linear polarized antennas. The TrueRC are LHCP. That should give you better results with Vista but not sure about O3. The hodden antennas in the goggles are linear as well. It looks like there is no way to get the perfect match between goggles and transmitter antennas. Even so, I'm surprised your results with stock antennas were so bad. Others reported generally better penetration on O3 with goggles 2 vs Vista with V2 system.

[@theonly1film]

how was the range flying behind you while using the patch antennas oh and by the way great video

[@TheTomJon]

No idea I tend to always be looking towards my drone 🤷 sorry for the lack of answer mate.

[@HeyitsmeEarl]

I just got my antennas today to test on my Long Range Chimera7 FRsky TD build, excited to test these out. On a sidenote how have you managed to get your OSD to get so wide on the Goggles 2, I cannot make mine go wider no matter what I play with.

[@3rdEye__FPV]

If I had to an educated guess based off what I’ve been seeing lately Is that it’s the new BF 4.4 update. Could be wrong tho but I hope to find out the same thing. It’s a very spacious clean look 👌

[@TheTomJon]

Just seeing this now. It's abnormally wide? It's 4.3 and stock settings. Do you mean the DJI OSD or the Canvas for BF OSD?

[@LukeMegBiking]

fantastic video, thank you

[@TheTomJon]

You're very welcome!

[@h-dawg969]

How do I know if I need RHCP or LHCP? I have a BNF Bob57 03 with Crossfire and goggles 2…?

[@rw4669]

Hi! How do you recommend we chose the "LHCP" or the "RHCP"? What are they about? Thanks for your video.

[@TheTomJon]

You'd have to google "polarization" to get the concept. I went with Left hand because Vista Stock antenna is LH; and O3 is "both" and can use LH or RH. By going LH you have no worries with stock DJI equipment.

[@rw4669]

@@TheTomJon Thanks for your advice. Ive ordered them!

[@rhomansrhomans2594]

hello. Good video, one question is valid for Europe. If it is valid, what polarization would it be, I am new in this world, thank you very much

[@TheTomJon]

Not sure what you mean about Europe but I'm using LH

[@publicname515]

Any luck on how to get these to attach to the Goggles 2 Integras?

[@TheTomJon]

Sounds like you cant

[@pixeldude1335]

Hat gerade noch so gereicht nur 2Mbps mehr. Hast du Glück gehabt. Ein Reichweitentest wäre interessant. It was just enough, only 2Mbps more. Have you had luck. A range test would be interesting.

[@tridanger]

👏👏👏very good

[@rossmandrone]

will this work for the Goggles Integra?

[@TheTomJon]

it should yes; integra is just a cheaper version with built in battery and no diopter adjustment but the addition of GPS in headset for RemoteID

[@orleynunes8388]

The antennas of Integra Aren't removable

[@TheTomJon]

For real....???

@@TheTomJon definitely for real, I have a full review posting this morning that proves their non-removability.. :(

Good to know! My apologies for the misinformation before there.

[@focalpointvideo]

RHP or LHP

[@Viseo3dp]

weird how you got a test result like that and i got no difference between stock and true rc patch even on my integra goggles the stock did better then the true rc. My thoughts are stick with the stock unless you have money to burn because there is not much of a difference except spend more money.

[@TheTomJon]

You can't change antenna on integra tho 💀
