Eachine VR D2 Review Part 2 - Antenna Comparison

[@hydrodeano]

Very good review, easy to follow and informative without being boring.

[@roklo]

Thanks for this good review!

[@irwan_rc2416]

on rgc, someone says that you must take off the foil sticker on patch. Its really make a different/good result on signal

[@JacobScherer]

That was it!

[@Joric78]

I think you got a dud unit (the patch antenna). I bought these on the Banggood launch sale, and my patch antenna works (using an aomway RHCP clover leaf antenna on my Vtx). I still get the time sync and black screen issues though. Do you notice that the AV2 (DVR) feed in the goggles is significantly cropped? Not only in terms of height (it fits to the screen height, but there's a wider vertical field of view on AV1), but there are borders on the left and right. The border on the left is larger than the one on the right as well.

[@JacobScherer]

Yeah, it has the same long running bug in the DVR that crops PAL video. There is new firmware that fixes that, but breaks other stuff. I'm going to do a update video soon.

I have the same goggles and want to know What antenna should I use on my quad? RHCP or LHCP? Does that matter?

[@JacobScherer]

Shyam Vadeyar 1 RHCP is the most popular, so running LHCP can mean less interference if you are going to be flying with more people. Just make sure you are running the same polarization on each side (transmitter antenna and receiver antenna)

[@shyamvadeyar1536]

Thanks Jacob. Will buy the RHCP one as I believe the default mushroom antenna that comes along with this goggle is RHCP.

peel off sticker from flat antenna, because it is aluminium sticker and blocking signal

[@nathanielwhitley]

ntsc camera?

[@JacobScherer]

Not sure actually. It is a Runcam Swift in my Ummagawd Vortex 250 Pro. I would go check the settings, but it just died.. It wasn't even that hard of a crash! Is that why it doesn't record the whole frame? I know recording in PAL has been an issue in a few Eachine products.

[@RaffaeleApetino]

I have your same problem about Diversity. did you find a solution?

[@JacobScherer]

The included patch antenna has a metal foil sticker on it, rendering it useless. Remove the sticker and the antenna will work properly.

[@RaffaeleApetino]

Done, thank you! Sooo much better! :)
