Default Need info about antenna types

Hi all. I'm new to RC and FPV. I'm looking to put a cam on an RC truck. I'm not looking to integrate it with the truck's electronics in any way; at the moment I just want to get a video signal back to me. I'm also not worried about mounting options at the moment; just trying to figure out the electronics.

I'm looking at a receiver that has an SMA antenna, and the polarity isn't specified.

The transmitter I'm considering has an MMCX connector, and it seems that I need to choose antenna polarity (RHCP or LHCP). Also, it looks like this thing comes with a wire that ends in an SMA connector, but it specifies MMCX as the antenna-connector type. So... what kind of antenna do I need for this transmitter?

Thanks for any insight!

Well, I can't post pictures or URLs, so that kinda sucks for helping you guys answer my question. Oh well. If you want to go to the effort, you can probably find the transmitter searching for "AKK Infinite DVR VTX 25/200/600/1000mW Power Switchable FPV Transmitter" and the receiver with "RC832HD 5.8GHz 48CH High Sensitivity 1080P HDMI AV FPV Receiver"

Id consider selecting a VTX that uses SMA connectors.

BTW any use of 25mw and up require HAM radio FCC license.

Thanks. It seems to come with an adapter, though.
