FPV Antennas
Compare FPV antennas from Chinese manufacturers by frequency, polarization, connector and pattern, from stubby and pagoda antennas to patch antennas.
FPV video antennas only, for the link between the drone and the goggles or ground receiver; GNSS, RC and telemetry antennas stay on the drone antennas page. Listings include pagoda, mushroom and stubby omnidirectional antennas and patch antennas for the receiving side.
Quick selection guide
On the drone
Small omnidirectional antennas (stubby, pagoda or mushroom) with an SMA, MMCX or U.FL connector that matches the video transmitter.
On the goggles or ground
An omnidirectional antenna for close range plus a patch antenna aimed at the flying area for distance.
Polarization
Use the same polarization at both ends: RHCP with RHCP, LHCP with LHCP.
Pagoda, mushroom, stubby and other omnidirectional FPV antennas.

What to check before you buy
- Frequency
- Match the antenna's frequency range to the channels your video system uses.
- Polarization
- RHCP, LHCP or linear; mixing opposite circular polarizations loses signal.
- Connector
- Check SMA or RP-SMA, MMCX or U.FL, and whether the centre contact is a pin or a socket.
- Pattern and gain
- Higher gain narrows the coverage; compare the radiation pattern with how the drone moves.
- Build
- Check SWR across the band, weight, cable length and how the antenna mounts on the frame.
FPV antennas FAQ
Can I mix RHCP and LHCP antennas?
Avoid it. Opposite circular polarizations lose much of the signal; use the same polarization on the drone and the goggles.
Is a higher-gain antenna always better?
No. Higher gain concentrates the signal into a narrower pattern, so coverage outside it drops.
How do I check the connector before ordering?
Compare the connector type and the centre pin or socket with your video transmitter or goggles.
