GEPRC MATEN 3.3G 5W Analog VTX Pro

The GEPRC MATEN 3.3G 5W VTX Pro is an analog video transmitter on the 3.3 GHz band, putting out up to 5 W for long-range and penetration-focused builds where 5.8 GHz runs out of reach. It needs a matching 3.3 GHz video receiver on the ground; standard 5.8 GHz goggles cannot pick it up.

Key features

• Four power levels of 25, 200, 1600 and 5000 mW, plus pit mode
• 48 channels across six bands, 3083–3495 MHz, with direct frequency entry from the ground station
• CNC aluminium housing with a built-in micro turbine fan and thermal protection
• Wide 7–36 V (2–8S) input and a 5 V/600 mA output for powering a camera
• IRC Tramp control for changing settings from the OSD, plus one button and three LEDs for setup at the field

Transmitting at 3.3 GHz and 5 W generally requires spectrum authorisation, so check the rules where you fly before use. Always fit an antenna before powering the VTX.
