Caution: UFL Connectors Are Fragile All HDZero VTXes use an U.FL connector for its smaller footprint and lighter weight. However, it is not a mechanically strong connector. Treat it as if it’s made of glass. Here are notes for installing and uninstalling an antenna: ▪...
Mounting Considerations It is very important to keep some distance between the VTX and ESC/FC boards for the following reasons: The RF portion of VTX is vulnerable to electronic noise caused by ESC/motors; The RF signal can be bounced back from surfaces of boards or carbon fiber plates, and fed back to the power amplifier in the VTX.
HDZero Whoop Video Transmitter (EOL) The HDZero Whoop VTX is a digital HD 720p 60fps video transmitter capable of delivering up to 200mW on 5.8GHz. The power input range is 7V – 17V. Due to the small clearance of mounting holes, make sure the mounting nuts or gummies will not overlap into the small components around the holes.
HDZero Whoop Lite Video Transmitter The HDZero Whoop lite VTX is a digital HD 720p 60fps video transmitter capable of delivering up to 200mW on 5.8GHz. The power input range is 2.8V – 13V. This VTX does not have reverse polarity protection circuit, it will be permanently damaged if voltage input is reversely connected.
HDZero Race V1 Video Transmitter (EOL) The HDZero Race VTX is a digital HD 720p 60fps video transmitter capable of delivering up to 200mW on 5.8GHz. The power input range is 7V – 17V.

HDZero Race V2 Video Transmitter (EOL) The HDZero Race VTX is a digital HD 720p 60fps video transmitter capable of delivering up to 200mW on 5.8GHz. It works with the Shark Byte RX5.1 goggle module to transmit video, and with a remote controller to wirelessly control the parameters for the transmitter and camera.
No soldering needed – just plug the wire harness into a compatible HD-ready FC. The HDZero Race V3 VTX is designed with durability in mind, rather than weight. It is made with a 1.6mm thick PCB, in comparison to the 1.0mm PCB used in the Whoop lite VTX. Moreover, it uses more large package size components for stability consideration.
HDZero Freestyle V1 Video Transmitter(EOL) The HDZero Freestyle V1 VTX offers unprecedented range and performance for the HDZero 5.8GHz digital FPV system. With its high maximum output power and robust construction, this VTX is perfect for freestyle and long-range builds. With a tested maximum range of more than 18 miles, the Freestyle V1 VTX will transmit a digital FPV feed as far as you’re willing to fly.

The 1 batch of Freestyle V1 VTX, supports 2S-4S, A BEC supporting 2S-6S is included. The 2 batch and later, supports 2S-6S, and the BEC is not included. Important Notes: ● Do not directly power this VTX with a 5S/6S battery for the 1 batch.
HDZero Freestyle V2 Video Transmitter The HDZero Freestyle V2 VTX is our 2nd generation 5.8GHz digital video transmitter which can be fitted into most 3-5-inch HD drones. All sockets are well protected by the CNC case that provides durability, RF shielding and improved signal integrity.
HDZero VTX Installation Guide Notes: VTX can be powered by VBAT or BEC. Check each VTX’s power requirement above; Use of capacitor is mandatory for HDZERO VTX; One UART is needed for OSD, Camera, VTX menu, MSP VTX; Never apply power on VTX without antenna installed and secured; Use RHCP antennas to match with SharkByte VRX RHCP patch antennas;...
VTX update Guide All the zip files for each VTX contains HDZERO_TX.bin. Steps to update VTX firmware: (1) Format SD card (Choose FAT32 and Allocation Unit size to 4096 bytes); (2) Power off VRX if it is on; (3) Unzip content of corresponding VTX zip file onto SD-card, and insert SD to the VRX module;...

MODE2: VTX RF remains off (0mW) after power-up, and exits 0mW under the following conditions: 1. Aircraft is armed. 2. Exit 0mW mode through stick command. 3. Configure VTX power to non- 0mW through FC. SHORTCUTS: Two different stick commands are provided for switching or exiting 0mW. See the Stick Movement diagram for details.
Unlock RF Power Limit HDZero Freestyle V1/V2 VTX is compliant with FCC 47 CFR 97.215(c). It is limited to 25mW/200mW out of the box, but it is capable of up to 1W if you have the required HAM radio license to use this power output.
