In my previous video featuring the iFlight Chimera7, the quad was rebuilt and working well, but I was disappointed with the range we got out of it - leaving me with barely any video signal at 1km. In this video, I'll be going through some of the changes I made to improve things.

One of the biggest jumps in improvement was to simply swap out the stock WalkSnail goggle antenna with some MenaceRC ones (with thanks to Greg from Menance for sending these over). If you want to try them out, you'll find MenanceRC antennas sold on many FPV shops, but this is the link to Menaces website for them https://menacerc.co.uk/product/dji-antenna-digipack
