TrueRC Matchstick 5.8 LHCP RP-SMA Carbon 200mm

The Matchstick 5.8GHz FPV antenna is engineered for pilots who need maximum durability and clear line-of-sight signal. Built with a rigid carbon-fibre sleeve over the coaxial cable, this antenna resists bending and survives prop strikes during heavy crashes. Its extra-long 200mm length is specifically designed to elevate the radiating element well above your drone's carbon frame or your goggle module, preventing signal blockage and dead zones on long-range or freestyle flights.

Key features

• Rigid carbon-fibre reinforced stem prevents cable damage and maintains antenna position in flight.
• 200mm extended length clears thick drone frames and goggle profiles for unimpeded transmission.
• Left-Hand Circular Polarisation (LHCP), optimally matched for standard digital systems or LHCP analogue networks.
• Fitted with an RP-SMA connector for secure, reliable attachment to your video transmitter or receiver.

Specifications

• Operating frequency: 5.8GHz
• Bandwidth: 5.6-6.0 GHz
• Gain: 1.9 dBic
• Polarisation: LHCP
• Connector: RP-SMA
• Overall length: 200 mm

Compatibility note: Before purchasing, verify that your video transmitter or goggle receiver uses an RP-SMA port. As an LHCP antenna, it pairs natively with most modern digital HD FPV ecosystems. Analogue pilots must ensure their paired receiving or transmitting antennas are also LHCP to prevent severe signal degradation.
