Menace RC PicoPatch Antenna 5.8Ghz LHCP Polarized Receiver Patch
Push the limits of your 5.8GHz video link with the Menace RC PicoPatch, a compact receiver antenna that delivers massive long-range performance. The PicoPatch is engineered to provide the highest possible sensitivity and gain in a small, goggle-mountable form factor. It’s the ultimate choice for FPV pilots focused on long-range exploration or flying in challenging RF environments.
Maximum Range in a Micro Package
The standout feature of the PicoPatch is its incredible 9.4 dBi gain. This provides a significant boost in range over standard omnidirectional antennas and even other patch antennas, with real-world tests showing a range of over 1.3km on just 25mW. It’s designed to pull in a clear, stable signal from extreme distances, giving you the confidence to fly further.
Focused Beam for Long-Range Flight
With its high gain, the PicoPatch has a focused reception beam of approximately 61 degrees. To achieve the best performance, you must keep the antenna pointed in the general direction of your FPV drone during flight. This directional capability is what allows it to reject interference from the sides and rear, focusing only on the signal from your aircraft.
Compact & Ergonomic Design
Despite its power, the PicoPatch is Menace RC’s smallest patch antenna. Its ergonomic, low-profile design fits perfectly on most FPV goggles (including FatShark models) and is often small enough to be left on when storing your goggles in a carrying case. It’s a powerful drone part that won’t weigh you down.
Important: Check Your Connectors & Polarization
To ensure compatibility and the best possible signal, please verify your equipment before ordering:
- Connector Type: This antenna uses a standard SMA Male connector.
- Polarization: This version is LHCP (Left-Hand Circular Polarized). It must be paired with an LHCP antenna on your FPV drone’s video transmitter for optimal signal quality. An RHCP version is also available.
