Tiny 350mw VTX - RushFPV style!
#1
This thing is micro, just under 2 grams and it is going to be installed on The Leaf for testing.  I can get out to a kilometer on 200mw, so 350 should work for the silliness that is Anza Smile

Pairing it up with the VAS Minion Pro.  Looking forward to seeing what this will do now that I have focused the Caddix Ant camera.  Was really surprised that the nano camera was able to provide an awesome picture, while not a Falkor 3...it is impressive!

This should work great for an ultra light 3" riptastic quad!  Looking at Ronin's latest offerings...maybe a new frame soon.  For now though, the iFlight IX3 Lite will suffice Smile

funny :-) it looks like a shrinked version to the bigger one :-) a thiny one with solder pads on the otherside to the antenna connection and a cooling element on top :-)

i love my unify nano pro32, like to hear how that tiny performs on 350mw for range :-)
i flew 2k on the unify nano at 400mw, not on perfect spot, the image went blurry and i get nervous

Installed the VTX on The Leaf...works awesome!  Took me a minute (or five) to figure out the silly thing was locked in pit mode when I first powered it up.  "There, damn...", "There it is again, WTF".

Stays cool at 100mw and gives me the entire yard to FPV, even sitting on our radio dead zone patio.  The rear patio cover is metal plating with a cement slab...it really messes with 5.8 video.  If I sit in the front yard away from the house, it is perfect!  In the front yard, I can reach about 150m with the power set to 25mw.  This is a decent little VTX.

Any tips of getting it out of pitmode? I have one I'm about to install, and I have heard that is the hardest part. It seems that turning pitmode off-on-off through smart audio is the magic ticket.

I found the SA 2.1 JSON vtx table file to fix my issue. Here is a link to the FB page on RUSH about the issue.
https://www.facebook.com/TEAM.RUSHFPV/po...448292791/


Save this to a text file with the extension .JSON and load it in vtx tables area of BFC.

If you use the OSD/Stick commands to manipulate the VTX, you will find one of the options "PIT".  It was ON in my menu. turned it OFF and a CONFIRM later and it is OFF now.

I am running Betaflight 4.3 on the craft.  There is a preset for the Tiny Tank available in the configurator and it sets it up on perfect.

This is interesting, is this in advanced mode on the video tx page in bfc?

In order to load 4.3.0RC2 on my craft, I needed to update my BF Configurator to 10.8.0RC1. There is a PRESET tab and there is an Official Preset for the Rush Tank line of VTX. If you are on BFC 10.7.0, there is no Preset tab.

Just a quick add, the 10.8.0 BFC is a Release Candidate, so there might be bugs. It has worked for my two quads that still run Betaflight without error so far.
