I fly mostly small quads (75mm to 85mm) so I have been searching for the "perfect" antenna for some time. In my bin I currently have,

2 of the Flyfish Osprey RHCP 2.07 grams --- not tried yet.

2 of the GEPRC PEANO RHCP 1.2 grams --- stay away, bad production QC and the coils are not uniform.

1 older (LHCP) Lunenier AXII Shorty 1.39 grams, and 1 newer (RHCP) Lunenier AXII 2 Shorty 1.39 grams --- good signal, very durable.

1 of the VAS Micro Switchblade by IBCrazy 1.0 grams --- not tried yet. Thinking of trying this in my Mobula7 as it should fit inside the canopy.

2 of the TrueRC Singularity RHCP 1.26 grams --- great signal, very durable.

I have one "EMAX Nano 5.8G Antenna RHCP 1.2 grams" on a quad and wish I would have bought more at the time as it seems to work very well and I haven't been able to find any in stock for the last couple of years...

I'll wait for your test of the ospreys then!

I have not had a chance to range test them yet but did notice something that personally, I do not like. The wire on the Osprey is VERY thin and most all the weight is in the head of the antenna. I don't think it will break but the antenna needs to be hard mounted to something.

Here is a quick vid showing the TrueRC Singularity to the Osprey. You will notice that the Singularity does not move much at all but the Osprey is all over the place. You really don't want the antenna bobbing around while in flight...

Thank you very much for the info!

I use an Osprey on my 3" freestyle build and like it. Mine's thicker "straw" section is slightly longer, but you can choose length when you order. Its signal is great and it is durable too. I have it "hard-mounted" in a TPU mount attached to the back stand-offs so no complaints there. But for a whoop, it might be considered to be too heavy.
