Kimpok KP-R12G

The Kimpok KP-R12G is a compact, ground-based analog video receiver module for long-range FPV drone systems using a 1.2GHz transmitter. It combines nine-channel reception with a 44 × 27 × 27 mm, 20g format. Integration depends on frequency matching and a properly tuned antenna system, with directional antennas suited to maximum-range operation.

Product overview

The Kimpok KP-R12G serves as the ground reception component of a long-range FPV video link, working with a 1.2GHz video transmitter aboard the aircraft. Its physical format is a compact receiver module measuring 44 × 27 × 27 mm and weighing 20g, giving ground-station integrators a small component to accommodate. The configuration has nine channels, a specified frequency range of 1080MHz-1258MHz and a stated sensitivity of 95dBm. It is an analog video receiver module rather than a flight platform or airframe kit.

Integration centers on matching the transmitter frequency and selecting a suitable receiving antenna. Channel scanning can be manual or automatic, allowing selection around background noise and other 1.2GHz signals. Multiple receivers can support simultaneous drone monitoring when assigned different, non-overlapping channels. Directional patch, helical and parabolic antennas are relevant integration options, but reception depends heavily on antenna quality, tuning and pointing. For maximum-range operation, the preferred arrangement uses a high-gain directional antenna mounted on a tracking system.
