BetaFPV ELRS Lite Receiver - Flat Antenna

Typical ELRS receiver, very comparable to other options. I think what makes this receiver stand out is the flat antenna! Although this is about 0.05g heavier than the tower antenna design (both from BetaFPV and other companies), its much more convenient to use and easier to build with, especially on a whoop. 

As far as whoop racing is concerned, I don't notice any sort of performance difference between the flat antenna and tower antenna designs. Both work great. It really comes down to whether or not the convenience of not having a massive tower antenna is worth 0.05g to you, at least in my opinion. 

While there is nothing wrong with the tower antenna design and I use it on some builds, I feel the flat antenna is really what makes this receiver stand out, so that's what I am carrying for the time being.

ADDITIONAL INFO

BETAFPV Lite receiver is based on the ExpressLRS project, an open-source RC link for RC applications. ExpressLRS aims to achieve the best possible link performance in both speeds, latency, and range. This makes ExpressLRS one of the fastest RC links available while still offering long-range performance.

The new lite receiver with a flat antenna features a 3mm extra-thin board and 0.53g lightweight, which requires less assembly space on drones with limited space. In addition, the solid flat antenna can withstand crashes, making the receiver less fragile.

If you have questions about ELRS and how to set up or use it, I will be developing a free mini course in 2024 to help!
