O.R.T. Digieyes V2 - DJI FPV dualband Patch antennas

Eko from ORT sent me these antennas SPECIFICALLY created for the DJI FPV drone. Since the V2 goggles and the DJI FPV drone use Occusync3 and here two frequency bands (2.4GHz and 5.8GHz) you need to take care which antennas you use (if you want to move away from the stock stubbies). On V1 DJI we could just use any 5.8GHz antennas (from analog times). One reason to move to such directional aftermarket antennas would be the very limited poweroutput in CE mode. Skip to my conclusion to see the results of my 5 testflights - or get some popcorn and enjoy the show ;)
