RUSH FPV CHERRY 5.8GHz Antenna (2 Pack)

RUSH FPV CHERRY 5.8GHz Antenna (2 Pack)

The RUSH FPV CHERRY is an elite 5.8GHz antenna optimized for the grueling demands of FPV racing and freestyle. Developed in the Rush FPV Professional Microwave Laboratory, each antenna is individually qualified using a network analyzer to ensure peak performance. It features a wide 5.6–6GHz bandwidth, providing uniform transmission strength across the entire raceband. This consistency ensures that no matter which channel you fly on, your video link remains rock-solid.

Durability is a core pillar of the Cherry design. The antenna is protected by a rugged, one-piece plastic housing that has undergone massive impact testing. It utilizes a high-quality double-shielded RG-137 coaxial cable with a silver-plated core and a Teflon skin. This combination results in a cable that is soft, flexible, and has extremely low signal loss. Whether you are racing through gates or surfing mountains, the Cherry antenna provides the signal “grip” needed for an immersive, flicker-free experience.

Key Features

The Cherry antenna boasts a near-perfect circular polarization axis ratio (around 1.0). This effectively suppresses multi-path interference—the primary cause of screen flicker when flying near concrete or metal structures. Efficiency is another standout trait; with a VSWR below 1.2 in the 5650–5950MHz range, transmission efficiency reaches up to 98%. This not only maximizes your range but also significantly reduces the heat generated by your Video Transmitter (VTX), extending the life of your electronics.

Installation is designed to be quick and versatile. The antenna clips are sized to match standard flange SMA sockets, and the flexible tube can be cut to a custom length to suit your specific frame. Available in RHCP and LHCP polarizations and multiple connector types (SMA, MMCX, UFL), the Cherry is a “set-and-forget” solution for any pilot seeking professional-grade video clarity.

Applications

The RUSH FPV CHERRY is the gold standard for FPV Racing, where uniform signal strength across all channels is a competitive requirement. In Freestyle builds, its impact-resistant housing survives the most brutal concrete crashes. Long Range pilots prefer the extended versions for their high efficiency and consistent 1.2dBi gain. For Cinematic UAVs, it provides the clean, jello-free video signal necessary for framing shots. It is also an excellent choice for Indoor Whoops using the UFL version to minimize weight while maintaining range. Furthermore, it is often paired with Diversity Receiver setups to provide a reliable omnidirectional reference.
