If you have flown with crossfire then you know how much of an amazing system it is. Now TBS has made it even better with the new Diamond antenna for the crossfire module (tx side only), range/penetration isn't even a worry when using this antenna with the crossfire module. One of the weaknesses of 900mhz is its lack of stable signal when flying low and parallel to the ground at far distances. The Diamond solves this issue allowing the pilot to fly low to the ground at far distances.
A slightly-directional antenna for best signal penetration. Built ultra-durable using lessons learned from TBS Triumph, and designed by none other than IBCrazy!
THE CROSSFIRE TX ANTENNA TO RULE THEM ALL!
Antenna orientation, wear & tear and non-directionality have been the source of some range issues with our long range and miniquad pilots. We therefore sat down with IBCrazy and he designed this antenna to be as durable as possible. A diamond lasts forever!
MORE RANGE
With a slight directionality to give you more range when flying in front of you, but still maintain a solid link when flying behind you. The antenna uses the ground you are standing on to reflect and therefore boost your signal out beyond what traditional antennas can manage.
FROM THE MAN HIMSELF
"The story behind the Diamond antenna:
A few pilots were experiencing drop-outs at what seemed to be random times. I investigated 4 cases an found that all the dropouts were happening all at the same relative azimuth. it was apparent that conductive ground was causing a null between the 0-5 and 15-20 degree azimuth. This wasn't a Crossfire problem at all! I was a problem with the ground they were standing on!
To fix this, I designed an antenna that not only would resist the effect of ground, but would track along the ground for low altitude flying. To do this a balanced closed loop structure was needed. The result was the TBS Diamond antenna."
