You might choose whichever type is on your goggles so all your antennas are interchangeable. That is if you plan to keep your goggles for a while. Both of my eachine goggles use RP-SMA so I use all antennas of that type. It does mean I always have to replace the pigtails on my Tramp HV VTXs since they only come in SMA.

I have an adapter i use on my goggles

 

[theGreenOrange]

They are convenient but those adaptors can cost you 25% or more of your signal power. Probably not an issue except at 25mW setting it could be.

Yes the Wizard X220 comes with an RP-SMA, and it looks like the 90 degree is one piece that is soldered onto the vtx, I will probably get a new one once I break this one that will have an SMA and be a better vtx all together.

 

[WizardX220Guy]

Evidently yours is an rpsma Wizzard, if you are replacing both, i'd go with the sma stuff, seems more common

hey VV, am i gunna have to solder these ends to the FC or anything??? I know one end is for the TX but the other end is loose wires...

Yes, unless the lead/plug from the old vtx fits and is same pin-out

 

[VirtueViolater]

If you dont want to solder, get the same vtx

See the 5045 4 props in this pic.? They are supposed to be hq pc props. They are fakes, printed even. Don't order hq props from hongcong

I cant find the same vtx anywhere. closest i found was this...

Post a pic of the old one

 

[VirtueViolater]

Nevermind, that one should work fine if you can get it mounted

****! you found one! lol ill still have to solder this one. but its ok, ill have to learn to solder some day. Thanks again Virtue. I owe you yet again!

 

[VirtueViolater]

Anytime, if you are resoldering, i'd use the switcher that goes up to 600mw

Thats only if you use it on your transmitter, no loss on the receiver side

No, the loss is just as bad on the receiver side. About 3dB in power typically.

 

[HighTechPauper]

Green is right, typically up to 3 dB per connector, possibly as little as 1dB depending on the quality of the connection, but it is always best to keep adaptors to a minimum to get best signal at tx (or rx).
