The Teradek 11 - 0882 horizontally polarized mushroom antenna, sold as a single unit, is specifically made for the Bolt 4K system. It's designed to be used with V antennas. These special horizontally polarized antennas offer a great advantage. When you use a pair of H antennas and a pair of V antennas at the transmitter (TX), it combines two perpendicular polarizations, improving the system's diversity characteristics. As shown in the picture, use two H antennas at the TX and two at the receiver (RX). This H + V antenna setup provides better reception and higher - quality video in medium - range scenarios or environments with a lot of wireless signal reflections. The combination of H and V antenna signals delivers better diversity than using V antennas alone, especially during outdoor shoots. The H antennas make the RF signal from the transmitter propagate perpendicularly compared to the vertical signal from the V antenna.

Using the Teradek horizontally polarized mushroom antenna is quite straightforward. First, if you're aiming for the best performance, set up a pair of these H antennas at the transmitter (TX) and a pair at the receiver (RX) as shown in the provided picture. This H + V antenna configuration is great for medium - range situations and places where there are a lot of signal reflections. When shooting outdoors, you'll notice a significant improvement in signal diversity compared to using just V antennas. As for maintenance, keep the antennas clean from dust and debris. Avoid exposing them to extreme weather conditions for long periods. If you're not using them, store them in a dry and safe place. And remember, always check the connections to ensure a stable signal.
