Product overview
The Kimpok KP-500VTX8W provides an analog video link for drone FPV applications through separate transmitter and receiver units. Both use FM modulation and offer eight channels, with the transmitter rated at 8 W and a nominal frequency of 500 MHz. Their channel lists differ: the transmitter includes 460 MHz, while the receiver includes 620 MHz; both list 490, 500, 520, 540, 560, 580 and 600 MHz. The hardware is video transmission equipment, rather than a flight platform or an airframe kit.
Integration requires space for a 98 × 55 × 18 mm transmitter, excluding its antenna, and a 75 × 45 × 20 mm receiver, excluding its antenna port. Power requirements differ: DC 10–36 V for the transmitter and DC 10–18 V for the receiver. Both specify operation from -10 °C to +50 °C. Antenna connection details conflict between MMCX and SMA female. Range descriptions also differ, giving 10–15 km with a high-gain antenna and air-to-ground line-of-sight maximums of 60 km and 100 km, with environmental qualifications.
