Output power has nothing to do with antenna impedance.
At least until the antenna starts to melt. :-)
I have a suspicion that many of the "random wire" antennas you see on
something like his video transmitter are actually roughly lambda/2 ("end-fed
zepps") -- seems to me their impedance wouldn't be as sensitive to the exact
positioning relative to the case, his hands, etc., and that the higher
impedance is often easier to match to for a low-power transmitter anyway.
