Hollyland Spares - Lollipop Antenna (Black) (for Mars Series)

The Hollyland Lollipop Antenna (Black) (Model: HL-ATN05) is an official OEM replacement and performance-optimizing antenna kit custom-engineered for Hollyland’s Mars wireless video transmission series.

Unlike standard flat "paddle" or thin whip antennas that suffer from dramatic signal degradation when a camera tilts or rolls, the Lollipop antenna utilizes a specialized circular polarization form factor. This design is highly favored by camera operators running fast-moving handheld configurations, heavy motorized gimbals, or jib cranes, as it ensures a continuous, glitch-free wireless link regardless of how the camera is physically oriented.

Core RF & Engineering Features

• Circularly Polarized Wave Propagation: Engineered with an omnidirectional, circular polarization pattern. Because the radio frequency waves spiral outward through space rather than traveling along a single flat plane, the signal easily mitigates "cross-polarization attenuation"—the sudden signal drop that happens when linear transmitter and receiver antennas become misaligned during active camera movements.

• Broadband 5 GHz Optimization: Fine-tuned to operate flawlessly within a 5000 MHz to 5900 MHz (5 GHz) frequency range. It provides a solid 2.5dBi gain to maintain clean, low-latency HD and 4K video streams even in environments with heavy on-set Wi-Fi congestion.

• Stealth Matte Black Finish: While functionally identical to the high-visibility Red Lollipop model, the understated matte black profile blends seamlessly into standard cinema camera builds. This makes it the preferred choice for stealthy configurations, live event sets, or multi-camera broadcast environments where brightly colored gear might distract actors or reflect into a shot.

• Low-Profile Structural Silhouette: Measuring just 63mm in height, this antenna packs high performance into a compact footprint weighing only 19.4g. It provides excellent overhead clearance, lowering the risk of clipping doorway frames or tangling with nearby stabilization cables.

System Interoperability

This multi-generation performance spare features a standardized, gold-plated internal RP-SMA female connection thread that interfaces natively with:

• Mars Core Transmission Series: Hollyland Mars 4K, Mars 400S Pro, Mars 400S Pro II, Mars 400, and Mars 300 Pro wireless transmission systems.

Technical Specifications Matrix

On-Set RF Polarization Tip: To unlock the maximum range and zero-glitch performance of the system, always deploy these as a matched pair on both ends of the transmission path. Screw two Black Lollipop antennas onto your transmitter, and match them with circularly polarized antennas on your receiver. Mixing a circularly polarized antenna on your camera with a standard flat linear paddle antenna on your video village monitor forces the signal to cross-match types, which can cut your effective transmission distance by up to half.
