Foxeer 5.8GHz 25mW and 600mW flight footage from the Bonsai

This is the flight footage from the Bonsai, testing the TM25 and TM600 video transmitters. Note that when flying the 25mW transmitter, I used a Nexwave receiver module in my Dominator goggles, with a single TBS 5db patch antenna. When flying the 600mW transmitter I used two RC305 receivers and an Eagle Eyes for diversity, with a SPW and the TBS patch antenna. Some of the improved video signal was a result of a better setup on the receiving end. The little 25mW one did good considering the lesser receiver setup, and low power of the transmitter. Not bad!
Here's some links to gear used on the little wing:
TM25 vtx -
TM600 vtx -
TM200 (not shown here) -
XAT600M/HS1177 Camera -
Or from a US source (Great guy to buy from!)
FrSky D4R-II recevier -
400mm long antennas to get out on the wingtips (probably not needed but I had them so why not!) -
Sunnysky motor (used a 5x3 Gemfan prop)
12A ESC (probably better suited ones out there, I used a spare left over from when I ran these on my ZMR) -
Servos (real happy with these for the price!)
Batteries -
And of course, the Bonsai kit - .

Here's some affiliate links to the video gear I use from Ready Made R/C:
1.3GHz video transmitters (I use 200, 400, 800, and 1500mW on various planes)
I recommend this receiver to go with them. I use an older Racewood type they used to sell, but these are supposed to be at least as good with the same Comtech tuners in them. Apparently Racewood is no longer in business, so here's what replaced them:
I use this 8dbi Patch Antenna, it has been my go-to antenna for a long time now, for years! lol I've been out more then 10 miles using one of these and the 800mW vtx listed above:
On the transmitter side, the stock dipoles that come with them work pretty good together with that patch, but if you want slightly better performance and less weight/drag, consider these:
