SoloGood 5.8Ghz 2W VTX FPV Transmitter Over 20Km Range TS582000 5.8G 2000MW 8CH Video Transmitter with 5dbi SMA Antenna for FPV Racing Drone Quadcopter

I am the person watching people fly 15 to 20 miles+ on 5.8ghz and just shake my head. I cannot figure how they do it, but I seem to be improving constantly. With my limited experience 3 years or so flying FPV, I'm always trying to go further, including 1.3 and 2.4ghz vtx's. For me 5.8 is easier, so I use it a lot, and I burn the them up a lot. Even with the antenna connected, they are getting too hot. I'm pleased to say this one with a fan has been a savior for me, I now put fans on most of mine. I have no way to test the output, but I have no reason to believe its less than the stated output of 2w. When I power it up at home, our internet gets overpowered and kicks off. I purchased another after my + experience

I got this to add a camera to my rc car for FPV. The transmitter would not turn on. I tried 2 different cables that were provided and nothing. I changed my power source from using the receiver, to plugging into directly into a 7.4v battery, to a 14.8v battery. The transmitter never powered on and nor did the fan. I'm also not a fan that the dip switches to change some settings are under the heat sinks which are covered by what looks like warranty stickers over the screws. This is going back and Im trying something else that is less fishy in my opinion.

I will be using this later this month for a project I'm working on. Currently, the product powers up, and lights and menu respond as explained on the Amazon instructions read. Both power and channel. However, the button will lock after the device runs for a bit and will only allow adjustment for a few min right after boot up. The device also holds the settings and will boot back to the last config. Seems like a great device and smart design. will update more later. No documents with device only the instructions on this page that are simple and clear to me. Did come with a few cables for different configurations.

The only problem is the fan bearings squeal a bit. Pretty common with these small chinese fans these days, kind of hit and miss on the quality, I got a defective one but I plan to upgrade the fan vs returning it for a refund. The rest of the unit seems very good. If you build drones you should understand the fan is a wear item. It's an easy swap.73

Received unit without any documentation. Not even a web address to get connection diagram. No idea how to change channels. Very poor.

Poor instructions, power and frequency button did nothing.

junk

Workings good.
