Description

The TBS UNIFY PRO 5G8 HV is engineered for high-performance FPV racing and freestyle drones requiring a robust and interference-free video link. Its direct 2S-6S input eliminates the need for a separate voltage regulator, while the integrated 5V/1A BEC provides clean power for your FPV camera. The advanced RF design and CleanSwitch technology ensure channel changes and power cycles do not cause video signal disruption.

Built with a compact 31x22x6mm footprint, the VTX is designed for tight builds. The inclusion of Pit Mode allows pilots to power their quad on the starting line without broadcasting, preventing channel congestion. Full configurability via SmartAudio integrates seamlessly with Betaflight, allowing for in-goggle menu control of all transmitter settings.

Key Features

  • Wide Voltage Input: Accepts 2S to 6S LiPo (7.4V-25.2V) directly, simplifying power wiring.
  • SmartAudio Integration: Enables complete UART/I2C control for output power, frequency band, and channel selection from your transmitter or OSD.
  • Advanced RF Management: CleanSwitch technology provides glitch-free power-on and channel switching, while Pit Mode offers zero-RF standby.
  • Multi-Power Output: Selectable output power levels (25mW, 200mW, 500mW, 800mW) adapt to varying race regulations and range requirements.
  • Integrated Camera Power: Onboard 5V/1A BEC supplies stable voltage to your FPV camera, reducing component count.
  • Robust Mechanical Design: Features an SMA female connector secured with screw mounting holes for superior antenna strain relief.
  • 40-Channel Coverage: Supports all standard 5.8GHz FPV bands (Raceband, FatShark, ImmersionRC, etc.) for global compatibility.

Applications

  • High-performance 5-inch FPV racing drones requiring reliable, low-latency video.
  • Long-range and freestyle builds utilizing 4S-6S LiPo batteries and needing a robust VTX.
  • Competition-ready builds where Pit Mode is essential for race-day compliance.
  • Compact builds benefiting from the integrated 5V camera power supply to reduce wiring.
  • Drones utilizing Betaflight or KISS firmware for integrated SmartAudio OSD control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the input voltage range for the TBS UNIFY PRO 5G8 HV?

The UNIFY PRO 5G8 HV accepts a wide input range from 2S to 6S LiPo batteries, which is approximately 7.4V to 25.2V. It can be connected directly to your main battery leads without a separate voltage regulator. The built-in 5V/1A BEC provides power for your FPV camera.

How do I control the VTX settings like power and channel?

Control is achieved via the SmartAudio protocol. Connect the VTX's SmartAudio pad to a free UART TX pad on your flight controller. Once configured in Betaflight, you can change output power, band, and channel directly from your transmitter sticks using the OSD menu, eliminating the need for physical buttons.

What is Pit Mode and how do I use it?

Pit Mode is a zero-RF transmission state. When enabled (via SmartAudio or button press), the VTX is powered but does not broadcast a signal. This allows you to power your drone on the race line without causing interference or revealing your channel. It's essential for organized race events and bench testing.

Does this VTX work with all 5.8GHz FPV goggles?

Yes, the UNIFY PRO 5G8 HV is compatible with all standard 5.8GHz FPV receivers, including those in FatShark, Skyzone, and Eachine goggles. It supports 40 channels across all common bands such as Raceband, FatShark, ImmersionRC, and Boscam, ensuring universal compatibility.
