I have seen videos with flexible RTK antenna installed on the Yarbo Core. Are these available for purchase? I have broken several RTK antennas when Yarbo passes under a bush.

My suggestion (because it worked for me even after running into several logs) is the free 3D printable flexible mounts. It essentially allows the antenna cable to flex and then go back in position. Needs to be printed with TPU.
The second best free 3D option is a brace that just pops on top of the low mounts. I actally carried around a few 2x4s (don’t ask) and the antennas were totally fine with these braces on.
I like the first option since it’s a bit more foolproof and worked through the winter (the antenna mounts a bit higher than the “low” mount) but it is a pain to print.

The RTK antenna itself is the same as the standard one. What you’ve likely seen in those videos is the antenna paired with a flexible high mount, rather than a different (flexible) antenna.
The High RTK Antenna Mount you mentioned above is available on our official website. High RTK Antenna Mount | Yarbo Accessories It’s designed to provide more flexibility and help reduce the risk of damage when passing under obstacles like bushes.
This setup should help minimize the chances of the antenna getting broken.
