Push your video link through the most challenging environments with the VAS Ion Pro RHCP 5.8GHz Antenna. Representing the pinnacle of the renowned VAS Ion series, this antenna incorporates a highly sophisticated new element system designed specifically for the professional pilot. Whether you are blasting through dense urban bandos or navigating heavy multipath interference on a professional race course, the Ion Pro gets your video signal where other antennas simply fail.
Unmatched 2.5dbic Gain & Clarity
Don’t settle for exaggerated specs. The Ion Pro delivers the highest gain of any single CP (Circularly Polarized) omnidirectional antenna on the market at a true, measured 2.5dbic. Paired with an incredibly refined circular pattern and a near-perfect 0.95 axial ratio, this antenna aggressively rejects cross-polarized signals and multipath interference, resulting in a remarkably clear and static-free video feed for your RHCP-based analog or digital FPV systems.
Long SMA & Ultimate Versatility
This specific version features a Long SMA connector, providing the extra clearance needed to get the active antenna element high above your drone’s carbon fiber frame and battery. This ensures a clean, unobstructed 360-degree signal radius. Highly versatile, the Ion Pro performs flawlessly whether it is used as a transmitter (TX) antenna on your quad or as a receiver (RX) antenna on your goggles.
Rigorous Factory Testing
Video Aerial Systems (VAS) doesn’t guess when it comes to quality. During the manufacturing process, every single Ion Pro antenna is individually tested for SWR, radiation pattern, and axial ratio to ensure it meets the absolute highest standards before it ever reaches your workbench.
