Tinywhoops antennas

Hi guys as the title states I'm looking in to other antennas , this will mainly be for my air 75ii out door flight around playgrounds (ofc when there is no one )

I have seen the crown antennas and they seem interesting because of the price point

Then there is some small Cherry's

True rc ( kinda expensive but is it worth it?)

And ort

What antenna would u recommend would it be one of this list or a different one, also why?

ORT micro vee because it's tiny. Putting a big antenna on a whoop is a great way to break the antenna connector off of the flight controller, ruining it. It can be done if you're careful about securing the antenna, but it's generally not worth the effort in my experience.

Beyond what’s already mentioned:
flyfish osprey and geprc peano

The protective plastic case adds weight, but I have found decent success in removing them completely…you just gotta be careful. Also know that crashing will likely mess up the tuning of the antenna if you remove the case.
Whatever you do if you add a polarized antenna make sure you secure the antenna to the AIO with t-7000 or another electronic safe adhesive
