iFlight Albatross V2 5.8GHz Antenna — 150mm

The iFlight Albatross V2 is a 5.8GHz circularly polarised antenna, sold as RHCP with an SMA connector or LHCP with an RP-SMA connector, built for FPV freestyle, long-range and cinematic platforms that need a durable aerial. The 150mm cable gives clearance over large battery packs and carbon frames, keeping the signal path clear regardless of build orientation.

Key features

• Hexagonal, right-angle housing with an ultrasonic-welded cable joint resists crash damage better than a plain stick antenna.
• RHCP (SMA) version for RHCP video transmitters and goggle modules, LHCP (RP-SMA) version for DJI and Walksnail digital systems — match polarisation at both ends of the link.
• 150mm RG141 cable (175mm overall length) clears deadzones on 5-inch to 10-inch frames.
• -25dB cross-polarisation suppression helps cut multipath dropouts in banks and turns.

Pair it with an antenna of the same polarisation at the goggle or receiver end; mixing left- and right-hand circular polarisation noticeably cuts range and increases video noise.
