goggles RE has 2 antennas-why?

[ruggb]

I have the RE goggles and have been trying to figure out why it is supplied with 2 Pagoda antennas. Anybody?

You can use it to fly non-DJI racing drones.

The antennas are identical and there is only one connector on the goggles.
If I want to fly racing drones I would need to buy the rest of the parts for it.
????????

I asked DJI support who told me it’s a spare.

I just asked them also - really, a spare? They could put an extra cable in there and it would make more sense. The antennas are not that fragile are they?

You put one on the goggles, you put the other, matching one on your racing drone's TX.

Don't you get one for that when you buy that option?
DJI says it is a spare.

Agreed. Makes absolutely no sense.

What option? I'm not talking of the HD Ocusync unit, I'm talking about using the antenna on your existing analog setup.

Guy obviously has no idea, spare makes no sense... matching antenna to put on your drone does, especially since they're polarized the opposite way as what people typically use. Saves you from buying the goggles, trying to set them up, and only then seeing you need to order another antenna for the drone.

So you look like a bee flying it.
