Correct Antenna Connector for Video

I have a Xinlin X118FPV quad that was given to me, used. I realize from watching some videos that it is supposed to have an antenna attached to its camera, but mine came without. I am trying to buy an antenna to connect to it, but without any luck so far.

I thought getting a cloverleaf antenna with a SMA type plug (or, RP-SMA) would work, but I realized once I got one through Amazon that the SMA connector is way too big to fit this camera. Is there a standard connector used for a lot of such camera antenna?

I am new to all of this. I have always thought drones were cool, but never had one until this was gifted to me, so I know little of standards yet. Google has helped but I'm still lost in this dept.

Thanks.
 
Well If it's FPV function has been powered without the antenna it's possibly a lost cause. The TX portion is probably shot.
 
In this post, you can watch an unboxing video of this quad and see that the antenna comes unattached and seems to screw on, so I know that my antenna probably wasn't broken off. I'm just trying to see what kind of connector it uses, hoping that it is some sort of standard, albeit not-often-used, fitting.

I can still get video from the camera, it just turns snowy very quickly as the quad gets 50 ft or more from me.
