The universal GPS folding antenna base set in black helps you get the most accurate GPS readings for your flights. It is an essential mount that gives the GPS antenna a clear, unobstructed view of the sky, which is critical for precise navigation.
GPS and compass modules are very sensitive to electromagnetic interference from motors, ESCs and radio transmission gear. To reduce this, the mount raises the GPS and compass module 16cm above the multirotor.
This extra height positions the module well away from interference sources and, according to the listing, significantly improves its performance and reliability.
CNC aluminium alloy: strong, precise base parts.
Carbon glass fibre rod: a light, stiff mast.
16cm elevation: lifts the module away from motors, ESCs and radios.
Foldable base: for transport and storage.
Universal fit: an adjustable mount for vehicles, marine use and drones.
A GPS antenna needs a clear view of the sky and some distance from electrical noise. Raising it above the airframe on a mast lifts it away from motors, ESCs and battery wires, which can disturb the signal or the compass.
A compass measures the Earth's magnetic field, which is weak. The strong currents in a multirotor's wiring create magnetic fields of their own, so placing the compass on a mast several centimetres above the frame reduces the error. This is one of the most effective ways to fix compass problems.
A tidy, well-built airframe flies better and lasts longer. Check every screw after the first few flights, use thread-locking compound on metal fasteners, keep wires away from moving parts and inspect the frame and accessories for cracks after any crash. Small parts like these are cheap compared with the electronics they protect, so replace them as soon as they wear out.

The specification list gives an aluminium material, a black colour, a GPS plate diameter of 40mm and a base plate diameter of 35mm. The mast raises the GPS and compass by 16cm.
The package contains one universal GPS folding antenna base set. Check the size of your GPS module against the 40mm plate before ordering.
