The smallest, most robust and full-featured video transmitter from TBS in a RACE format. The engineering team at TBS has spent months analyzing all the feedback and successes from the TBS UNIFY PRO video transmitters and has completely redesigned the final revision in the TBS UNIFY PRO line.
Features
Smallest, lightest video transmitter on the market
2-6S input power supported
25mW / 100mW / 400mW power settings
Integrated heat sink
Ultra-clean transmission (up to 16 pilots at once!)
PitMode - power up your quad during a race
Easy OSD, FC and RC channel changes, with fallback button menu
Robust RF amplifier allows powering up without an antenna for hours!
Clean powerup and video switching
SMALL & ROBUST By completely redesigning the circuitry and changing key components we managed to set a new standard in size and weight for a 6S capable HV video transmitter, without impacting usability. The new heatsink made from patented polymer materials improves heat resistance while also protecting components from impacts. Pilots will be blown away by the clean output power, robustness, and ease of mounting. In a nutshell, it's the perfect video transmitter for any serious drone racer.
SMARTAUDIO V2.1 - TEAM RACE READY The industry standard SmartAudio technology has been revamped slightly in this final iteration. The power levels have been rearranged to make more sense, doubling range with each setting: 25mW / 100mW* / 400mW*. Additionally, PitMode functionality has been opened up to in-race operation, which makes it possible to all but disable output power through Smart Audio, thus making team races or powered up quads on standby a possibility.
CLEANSWITCH - NEIGHBOR FRIENDLY CleanSwitch is a technology developed at TBS that will ensure that your video transmitter is interference-free while powering on, or while changing channels. All current video transmitters swipe across the entire band while being powered on, often resulting in flickering and heavy interference to anyone in the air, regardless of video channel chosen. TBS CleanSwitch will allow you to power on and change channels while your buddies are in the air, without any external interference. CleanSwitch is race friendly, and pilot friendly ... that's how we like it at TBS :)
* HAM license is required for operation on HAM channels, and HAM power levels! The VTx ships with only legal channels enabled, please consult the manual on unlocking procedure.
The TBS Unify Race 2 is an amazing VTX. Compared to the many different analog transmitters I've used, I can say this one absolutely rocks in terms of video quality AND durability. I absolutely love how they've opted to use the heatsink to also act as impact and shorts protection from falls and crashes. Signal quality results in more confident flying when weaving between obstacles, trees, concrete, drywall...etc. Even if it's only at 400mW, this transmitter can reach out about a km if you have unobstructed LoS. When in doubt, punch out. Never disarm.
My only real complaint with this profile of VTX is the limited mounting options. It would be nice if a little TPU 30x30 mounting plate was included with this product, but no trouble if you can DIY.
Update process is cumbersome, better if done with the VTX out of the quad. Also the update port is much flimsier than the earlier 2 antenna versions, IMO.
I use this mont for all my builds with a DJI O3 system. It comes with all the hardware nessassery and I like how is provides a small gap between the frame and the air unit so you can run wires under it. With all that said, it is still very low profile to fit on builds that use short 20mm standoffs too.
This thing is really fun and I haven't had to touch the PIDs at all. Super maneuverable on high rates and really mellow on low rates. I'm teaching my six year old grandson how to fly and he's doing great with it then raise the rates and I doing freestyle in my livingroom. Top off the performance with Newbeedrones awesome customer service and you can't lose. Newbeedrone is now my go to site for whoop stuff.
