The TBS AERUM race antennas are PCB based antennas that come in three versions.
Polar S - linear antenna for a super lightweight setup, 2g
Polar P - Dual polarization, left and right, transmitter in a single 3.5g pcb antenna
Polar X - Dual polarization receiver antenna

Polar S
Polar P
Polar X
TBS Unify Triumph
ImmersionRC RapidFire
Patch antenna
I know in the video I said I wouldn't recommend the AERUM antennas...but that was right after I dumped a quad in the water. After reviewing and editing the video, the results were not as bad as I thought.
The overall image was on par with a baseline setup with these exceptions:
The AERUM antenna don't have the penetrating power of a patch. Behind hills for buildings, you will probably lose your video
Because these antennas are circular polarized, they are not designed for long range.
I'll be doing more tests in the coming weeks. At about $45 for a Polar P and Polar X, I'd say give it a shot and try for yourself.

After using the Aerum X ever since I posted this video (about 2 months), I can recommend the X for the goggle antenna for racing. The performance of the X is on par with my regular Triumph + Patch setup. Not recommended for long range though. The great part of the X on the RapidFire rx is the low profile and never needing to switch between LHCP and RHCP. I found the X works great with both.
I haven't not been using the Polar P. I found the video slightly worse than using a regular AXii but more importantly the flat design is good for normal flying conditions but on windy days you do feel more effects of the wind.
If you found this post helpful, it would be super cool if you purchased the components from my store or purchase items from my Amazon links. These posts are expensive and take a loooong time to make so the purchases make it possible for me to keep making them. Thanks in advance, I greatly appreciate it :)
