GEPRC Maten 5.8G 1.6W VTX

The GEPRC MATEN 5.8G 1.6W is an analog video transmitter for long-range and freestyle builds that need more punch than a standard low-power VTX, housed in a CNC aluminium shell that doubles as a heatsink.

Key features

• Four power steps plus Pit mode (25/200/600/1600mW) let you match output to the airspace, from park flying to long-range penetration.
• Wide 7-36V input runs directly off 2-8S LiPo, with a 5V/600mA output for the camera.
• IRC Tramp protocol supports OSD-based power, channel and band changes without a separate remote.
• Built-in microphone adds onboard audio to the video feed for goggle playback or DVR capture.
