FPV 5.8GHz helical antenna shootout

Here are three 5.8GHz FPV helical antennas that were sent to me for review.

The bottom line is that all three antennas provide a very worthwhile gain over the basic omnidirectional skew-planar or clover-leaf antenna and all had quite a wide beam-width.

The standout winner was the antenna from Circular Wireless - but it's also the most expensive, by a significant margin so in terms of value, the other two rate very well also.

No losers in this shootout.

The 7/8 turn helical is from Circular Wireless

The 5 turn helical was from Simon in the UK who sells them (as bignose13) via the FPVHUB website:
