What type of antenna is the flat white one?

How well does the whole set-up balance?

Any flying yet?
Wondering about the 2 different antenna's. You'll notice when they change from 1 to 2, as the RX light will change from 1 to 2, depending on what antenna the signal is being received from....
I have 2 of the red Sprironet one's on my receiver....been out to 2200 feet horizontally and 50 meters vertically, and received good clean video(600? mw boscam, ch 31). I also have a cloverleaf antenna on the transmitter.

The white flat one is a fatshark patch antenna the balance is spot on & really comfortable & like you said it picks up onto which ever ones receiving the best when needed mate

Thanks-I'll have to look into that antenna, I've not seen or heard of it before. In your opinion-which do you feel works better?
EDIT: i see the patch antenna is directional, within 35? degree's? I guess that means you have to tilt the monitor, with the flat part of the antenna pointed towards the phantom for best reception? Is there a bendable cable that could be attached to it, or does it come with one-so you can tilt it without tilting the antenna?
(sorry for OT questions)

Any ideas for a good 7 inch monitor for the Phantom 2 that will work with DJI's 5.8 ghz tx system?
Looking for good quality and ideally without the external battery...if such a thing exists.
Please let me know.

We have 7" IPS FPV monitor w/ dual 5.8GHz receivers.

I use the Nexus 7. It now has an available software driver, and links with wiFi perfectly. The screen is very adequate outside, unlike the ipads, which are impossible to see. I highly recommend!

You must have a Vision. You can't use wifi with a non vision or you're taking a big gamble of crashing. I thought this section of the forum was for non vision 2 birds but maybe I'm wrong.

Hi,
my set up is a bit different, i used to have the hubsan skyhawk fixed wing polystyrene uav and lost it, no big deal but i kept the transmitter which has a built in 3 1/2 inch monitor that recieves video signal on 5.8 Ghz, i bought a cheap cycle helmet and bolted the transmitter on to the front of it and fitted a gopro camera and transmitter on to my P2 it worked fairly well, but i bought the black pearl monitor which has a 7 inch screen and replaced the hubsan monitor with it and it works well.
