Description

The VIPER antenna is a small linear receiving patch especially designed to work with the linear whips found on the Whoop, ToothPick and Micro Drones. The VIPER can extend the range further and deliver a clearer signal in the most demanding environments.

If you are using a linear whip antenna on your micro quad and using a circular antenna to receive you would be experiencing a 3db loss due to the mixed polarization signals, for each 3db drop in signal that is a half in power so effectively your 25mW vtx will only be seen as transmitting 12.5mW. For increased range, clarity and to get your 3db back use the Menace VIPER antenna.

Built on the success of our proven linear Bandicoot antenna we have redeveloped a much higher sensitivity VIPER antenna in a smaller form where you are able to achieve a clearer signal which grants enriched penetration for indoor environments along with extended range in outdoor environments.

Reviews

Perfectly clear Analog video

"I fly 65,75,85mm micros with linear antennas. My understanding is if you have Linear antenna on your drone and circular polarized on your goggles you lose about 3db of antenna gain. -3db is equivalent to a 50% power loss. I'm no expert but my image quality seems better. I use Fatshark HDO2 w/Rapidfire module 1 Menace RC viper patch and 1 Lumenier Long Double AXII 2"

Great small linear patch antenna

"Great small form factor linear patch antenna. Good match when paired with the RDQ linear MMCX whip antenna. I use that setup with the Mach 3 VTX on lots of simple video setups for fixed wing FPV."

Great whoop reception

"I put three of these on my Eachine 200D goggles (and an Omni) And now my video reception is constantly perfect."

— Will W. (4/5)

Menace Viper

"Works great! Was just playing with my Tinyhawk 2 an had no issues. Delivery was amazing! I've never had a package arrive from America to Australia in under a week, fantastic!"

— Vincent P. (5/5)

I alternative between using this

"I alternative between using this and two stubby antennas with my Whoop. I've not yet decided which way works better, but I feel like there is benefit to this. I feel confident it's better than a circular patch antenna for my whoops."

— Kevin D. (5/5)

Patch FTW

"Cleanest video I’ve ever had from my whoops. No breakup at all. Works great paired with the stock antenna from my fat shark hd3’s on my rapid fire module. Will definitely look to menaceRC when I need a cp patch."

— Wesley C. (5/5)

Just what I needed

"I have a lot of micro whoops with linear antennas, this patch antenna is exactly what I needed, no complaints here."

— Terry D. (5/5)
