Measurements:

The P1 Air Unit delivers reliable and clear video transmission with a maximum output power of 200mW and a range of over 5km*. Low latency means you can enjoy a stable, interference-free view, so you can fly further and explore with confidence. Standby mode automatically adjusts power based on the distance between your goggles and the drone, maintaining a live view even if the drone falls.

* Real-world tests in open areas using 200mW power have shown a transmission distance of over 5km. Actual range may vary depending on environment and interference.

Weighing just 6.5g (without antenna), the P1 Air Unit is a compact and budget-friendly HD video solution, so you can build your ideal HD whoop without sacrificing quality or functionality.

The P1 Air Unit has a standard SH1.0 6-pin connector and uses the MSP communication protocol for OSD function, making it easily and seamlessly compatible with Betaflight and BETAFPV flight controllers.
