I have the 1.2 VRX and VTX from hobbyking, but I don't fancy the antennas they came with... I'm confused how they even work, considering there's just a hinge at the base and no discernable wire heading up into the stalk.

Anyway, I want some CP antennas for the gear, but have no idea which type of connector they use... SMA or RP-SMA ?

I'd take a look myself, but I'm away from home right now and cant find any pictures on the web good enough to show me which connector is required.

can anyone here help?

Get the sky hammer by ibcrazy then u have one mad mushroom for vtx and one for vrx can't beat them for even more distance get crosshair or pepperbox for receiver

LM gear is SMA, 2 cheap HK Skews on 1.2 will let you fly a 3km circle around yourself with ease on a 500mw LM VTX.

I use IBCrazy Bluebeam Ultra antenna set which is a 3 lobe on the VTX and a 4 lobe mad mushroom on the VRX. Lovely antenna's.

The stock linear whips that come with the 1.2g gear is pretty decent imo. You can do a lot with em, you would be surprised how decent linear on 1.2 is. You get some aweful colour banding low to the ground but the CP antenna's do that to a degree anyway if you are flying around objects. I tried the stock whips on my Caiprinha and was doing loops and rolls and it was more than flyable.
