Product overview
The Kimpok KP-T1216M provides analog video transmission for drone FPV links, with applications including racing, aerial imaging and inspection. Its aluminum construction measures 46 × 36 × 12mm and weighs 21g, giving integrators a compact component to accommodate within an aircraft installation. The radio operates across 1080MHz–1360MHz with eight channels and selectable 25mW, 200mW or 1600mW output. An SMA connector provides the antenna interface. The supplied configuration includes the transmitter, a user manual, mounting accessories and installation cables, protected by foam inside an anti-static box.
Integration requires a 7–36V DC supply and provision for substantial cooling. The electrical specifications give 380mA at 1000mW, while the high-power operating description gives current demand often exceeding 1.5A at 12V. A clean, capable regulator, large heatsink and effective active cooling are required, with propeller wash suggested as a cooling location. Both transmitter and receiving antennas require careful matching; reflected power can damage the transmitter. The 20-kilometer-or-more distance applies to maximum output in ideal conditions, while the 200mW setting is described as supporting several kilometers.
