Description
Taking the proven design of the Menace Omni FPV antennas we now have the ultimate FPV antenna for wings.
Standing only 10mm proud its low profile offers a shape that is in harmony with the aerodynamic forces, resulting in an antenna for your model with the absolute minimal drag.
The wing antenna is an idea that formed from a meeting of minds at Western Park Airshow UK, Menace adopted the concept from Painless360 and developed it into the ultimate aerodynamic antenna for FPV planes and wings…. The AeroPOD was born.
Mount it on the underside of your plane for an uninterrupted signal, but don’t worry if you land too hard the polycarbonate injected moulded case will protect the antenna.
The unique construction permits the use of extensions with SMA, MMCX and UFL options to connect to your favourite VTX.
No compromise in performance, just like the Menace range of omni antennas, the AeroPOD delivers a smooth radiation pattern with one of the most proven highest axial ratio designs all in an aerodynamic resilient polycarbonate case for protection.

Bought on-line and received in Australia very soon after. Haven’t installed as yet but it looks the beast – not sure whether the direction of mount matters, but the antenna connector seems fixed. My install ideally would have it facing one way but the streamlining seems to need it to be mounted 180degs opposite – no major but might be in other builds. I am very happy though so far. Untested in flight.

Nice, you can rotate the connector to any angle to assist with the install.

using this antenna with eachine tx805s transmitter set at 25mw . fatshark hdo2 with immersion rc 13 db patch antenna . im in heavily wooded new england usa . less than ideal conditions .I can get .75 miles with fixed wing at 350 ft agl . set at 1 watt I have crystal clear video as far as ive gone to date .
excellent performing compact antenna
