Never lose
the picture.

The jumper turns. One antenna loses it.
Two don't.

The problem

A body
is a shadow.

In belly flight (face down) the antenna points down — a clear line to the ground. The moment the jumper goes head-down (head first), their own body slides between the transmitter and the ground. A single antenna drops out — exactly at the most spectacular moment.

Head-down, Sit, Backtrack, Wingsuit — the angle changes constantly.

The solution

One to the side.
One up.

The patch sits flush in the side end-cap — it carries the link to the ground in belly flight. The dipole sits on top — it catches the picture when the jumper goes head-down (head first). An RF switch picks whichever antenna has the clearer view, in real time.

One U.FL output, switched — no extra power draw, no second transmit chain.

Modular

Flush.
One block.

The second antenna sits flush with the shell — in the top lid and the -X end cap, screwed in, not plugged on. No bump, no snag risk. Print the transmitter with or without the antenna — same clean form.

Caught many ways below.

PUBLIC VIEWING TRANSMITTER · switched

Up top the transmitter picks the best antenna — on the ground we receive with several at once (directional + omni, true diversity). Two safeguards against the same dropout: the picture gets through.

Where we stand — honestly

The CAD is done.
The print is next.

Machine-verified
  • Transmitter print-ready — 6 parts watertight, gate green (via trimesh, not just claimed)
  • Every part has its place — fit, mounting, cable routing checked (boolean, 0 collisions)
  • Antenna flush — top lid + -X end cap screwed in, coax feedthrough, gate green
  • Dual antenna worked out — switched, one U.FL, ground diversity

The demo shows the principle, computed — the real proof comes with the first jump. No overclaim.

Turn however you want.
We hold the link.

Two antennas. A picture that never drops out.
Next, the printed proof speaks.
