Here I'm making a flight trying to maximize my time flying behind solid earth. At the lowest point I'm 40ft vertically below the high point of the hill and still have a usable video signal. It makes sense for this MIMO/CDD based system to work NLOS when there's a lot for the signal to reflect off of, but here there is only trees, and normal trees and other live vegetation absorb rather than reflect Rf signals. 5.8Ghz isn't known for being able to bend over the horizon like lower frequencies either.
Using two of these on the quad

On the goggles I have two of these

Plus two Triple Feed patches,

For RC control.. R9m Lite on my X-lite with the better dipole (from the full sized R9m module)
and the r9mm receiver with a homemade dipole mounted mostly vertically (I don't believe ever horizontally orienting antennas, unless it's paired with a vertical one).
