I have purchased it twice and still love it dearly. The first one's SD jack failed after a summer of abuse due to my frequent re-insert of the SD card because I crashed too often and needed to use computer to analyze the crash frame-by-frame to locate the drone. I am using my second set now, and I also modified it to receive AV input from a ground station.

@alpemxyz

The antenna that it comes with is a linear polarized antenna. Linear antennas have the problem that when they are not aligned with each other, they loose signal (see here why: oscarliang.com/linear-circular-polarized-antenna-fpv/ ). For receivers, it is usually adviced to go with a circular polarized antenna, because they receive signals in all directions. For transmitters it is also adviced to go with a circular polarized antenna, but it is not mandatory unless you are planning on going very far, so the linear polarized antenna on your tinyhawk should be just fine. If I were you, I would leave the antenna on the tinyhawk and buy a circular polarized antenna for your receiver.
