Prime 5.8Ghz 40CH RaceBand Adjustable Power 25 / 200 / 600mW FPV TX

The Prime is one of our latest FPV video transmitters (VTX) and is our first VTX to boast 40 channels, which include the new 'RaceBand' frequencies. As well as being compatible with the new RaceBand frequencies, the Prime VTX is also compatible with all other 5.8Ghz frequencies, via the 4 more traditional frequency bands (A, B, F, E: 32 frequencies).

For those that don't know anything about RaceBand, here's a bit of info: RaceBand was first pioneered by ImmersionRC to allow more pilots to race together without interferance. Essentially, RaceBand is just another set of 5.8Ghz frequencies, to be specific they are: 5658, 5695, 5732, 5769, 5806, 5843, 5880, 5917. The difference between the RaceBand and the other 5.8Ghz bands is that RaceBand frequencies are more spread out across its band (37mhz separation) thus allowing more pilots to fly FPV together without their video feeds causing interference with each others.

The Prime packs in a lot of channels but it also boasts plenty of power, up to 600mW. Best still, it's output power is easily adjusted at the press of a button. You can set it to 25mW, 200mW and 600mW. This is really a great feature as it means you can use the transmitter legally in places where higher power levels are restricted and yet exploit its higher power offering for greater range when legal to do so. It's also handy for those that race in both outdoor and indoor environments. Indoors it’s preferable to use a lower power level to reduce multipathing (poor signal quality caused by the signal being reflected by obstacles).

Changing channels and power levels is quick and easy thanks to the Prime having two selection buttons and LED indicators. The ability to change channels quickly really comes into its own for professional applications and at drone racing events, when lots of people are operating on the same channel.

The Prime features a beautiful, blue anodized aluminum case that is both lightweight and durable, which will help it to survive the most epic of crashes.

The whole setup is largely plug and play, so you can be up and running in literally a few minutes. It comes with a wiring harnesses and a GoPro compatible video cable, which lets you plug your GoPro straight into the transmitter. The Prime can even be powered straight from your flight battery without the need for a UBEC as it supports a wide input voltage (2-4S). It also has a 12V DC output to power a FPV camera. Finally, the TX uses an SMA connector so it can use the full range of ImmersionRC / Fatshark antennas.

IMPORTANT: Do not turn the transmitter on before attaching the antenna, doing so will permanently damage the board!

Note: Please check with your local authorities regarding the operation of this equipment before you purchase. Regulations on power output, usable frequencies and licenses’ to operate vary from region to region.
