Comments and questions welcome. 

If the Antenna does not seem to give you sharp image at a certain distance within the limits of your RF equipment, use a bit of trial and error and make tunning adjustments by tightening or loosening the nylon screws that hold the top and bottom sections. 

I did not have to do any tuning with my setup which  is set automatically by the VTX in my Mobula 7 quad to channel 1 frequency 5865 Ghz.
