Maarten Beart spent Months designing and simulating a better antenna that out preforms our current standard for video antennas, what he has come up with will change the industry!
Don't forget that if you get 3 or more sets of antenna kits you can use voucher code "freejig" at check out to get a free assembly jig which you need to build these to the tight specs you need. Don't need that many, then head over here to pick one up: Pagoda Hybrid Jig
We do not suggest putting a cover on this version, The Rev B has been redesigned to work best with covers.
From the images below you can clearly see how much better the Pagoda does at producing the desired polarization with out inducing the opposite like our current goto's the Skew and Clover!
This means that you will have cleaner video because you will not receive the reflected wave from your own transmitter, and by using LHCP with RHCP you can more easily fly on adjacent channels with out losing video quality!
Center frequency: 5.8 GHz
Bandwidth: 500 MHz (5.55 .. 6.05 GHz)
Matching: S11 < -20 dB, VSWR < 1.22 (at center frequency)
Axial ratio: < 1.3
Radiation efficiency: 92%
Can you shorten it? Why yes you can!
We do suggest keeping the receiver the spec length of 90mm.

Pagoda 2 RHCP Kit
I ordered 4 of these kits and they are by far the best Omni antennas I've used picture is cleaner more vibrant and colorful and have fantastic range! Plus they are kinda fun to build! Especially after your first one! I will be ordering again when I'm in need of more antennas plus I want to get me one of those helical antennas very soon. Thanks farvew you guys are awesome!

I have just tested the antennae recently purchased from you. RHCP Pagoda kits; Original design and Rev B. Results are amazing. I get significantly more range and picture clarity. The kits are beautifully made and with the jig you supplied construction is uncomplicated and straightforward, though requiring some dexterity! Definitely the GOTO antennae. Hats off to Maarten for the design and you, Farvew, for the execution.
Wow!!!
Super antenna, great reception, easy to build with the Jig. Nice and small.
Pagoda
They're great antennas I guess as long as you remember to solder them the right way I managed to solder all three that I got backwards so needless to say they're trash
Best antenna ever
These DIY kits are super easy to assemble as long as you have the correct jig. They're also very durable if you have the 3D printed cap covering up the pcb's. In fact, in a recent crash/explosion I did manage to break one of these by snapping it off at the SMA connector... I soldered it back together and the same antenna is still going strong. I run 1 on my Dominator V3's and 1 on my quads. Unless I find something better performing, more durable and cheaper I'll stick with these. Big shoutout to Project Blue Falcon for his YouTube video about these antennas. Thanks for the heads up
Great kit
I bought a few of these kits out to see how they perform. This was my first time attempting to build an antenna and i must say it was really easy. It took a couple attempts to line everything up in the jig on the first antenna but after i got it the other 2 went together in no time. I flew today and the clarity and range with a Pagoda on the tx and rx was awesome. Customer support is also top notch I had a question and it was answered very quickly especially for a weekend.
My New Go To Antenna
Boss Hat Says:
These antenna kits cover the three points that I require:
Performance
Price
Ease of Construction
This is by far the best CP antenna for the price.
