Introducing the NewBeeDrone Honey Patch Antenna! A high-quality receiving patch antenna that won't break the bank and still delivers great performance.
NOTE: The Linear Honey Patch is designed to be used with linear whip antennas, like on the BeeBrain and Tiny Whoop micro drones.
If you are using a linear whip antenna on your micro quad and using a circular antenna to receive you would be experiencing a 3db loss due to the mixed polarisation signals, for each 3db drop in signal that is a half in power so effectively your 25mW vtx will only be seen as transmitting 12.5mW.
tiny woops use a dipole that is linear, these match exactly with that

Better than polarized, but not recommended
Works ok, better than polarized.
I’ve used it with my Mobula6.
Better off spending a tiny more and getting the Menace Viper for linear distance, or the BiQuad5 for similar to Omni like performance.

Nice linear patch antenna
I use this for my tiny whoops. It really intercepts video quality good.

Good for when you need a linear patch
Usually my standard rhcp antennas will do the trick, but I find myself using this patch more with a couple of my whoops when flying further away.

Great patch for Tinywhops!
Great Price, nice for whoops and other drones with linear antennas!
Great pouch! Goggles 2 fit perfectly. Outside pocket holds one battery and cable. I feel comfortable leaving the eye lens cover off and just putting goggles in bag when not in use.
It is unfortunate that this is basically the only super lightweight RID module, because I have heard a lot of issues with them just straight up not working. Essentially a worthless product. Does not obtain any satellites. I have contacted DroneTag support and they tried troubleshooting a little and then recommended I pay to ship the product all the way back to the Czech Republic… I contacted NewBeeDrone support for a return and they have not responded in 2 business days. I am hoping I will be able to return this or swap it for another unit (if its just a faulty one).
I love NewBeeDrone, the Cockroach 65mm frames and the warranty. However, I decided to try the 75mm frame and have to say they are extremely fragile. I typically reinforce all my frames in the corners with e6000 and have added protection, but that did nothing to help here. I suspect this frame is just basic plastic and would love to see it in a more durable polycarbonate or even better a Polypropylene version.
