Recorded specification
Every value carries the source it was read from. A property with no recorded source is marked as such rather than presented as a fact. If one of them is wrong, tell us: it is the fastest way it gets fixed.

| Maximum transmit powerCompliance-critical: most countries cap unlicensed 5.8 GHz transmit power, and the cap differs between them. | 700 mW | Oscar Liangchecked 2026-07-27Quote 1, below the table |
| Minimum transmit powerDecides whether a high-power VTX is merely restricted to a setting, or unusable here. | 25 mW | Oscar Liangchecked 2026-07-27Quote 1, below the table |

| Glass-to-glass latencyTime from the scene reaching the camera to it reaching your eye. The number racers choose a system on, and the one thing analog still wins. | 20 ms | DJI product specificationschecked 2026-07-27Quote 2, below the table |
| Onboard recordingThe best resolution the unit itself records, separate from what the goggles' DVR captures. Analog gear records nothing onboard, and that is recorded as its own answer rather than left blank. | 4K | DJI product specificationschecked 2026-07-27Quote 3, below the table |

| Carries a cameraA complete drone is not in the camera category but carries one, and a digital air unit is a camera and a transmitter in one part. Many countries trigger registration on the camera regardless of the drone's weight. | Yes | Oscar Liangchecked 2026-07-27Quote 1, below the table |

This listing does not say which warehouse ships it. Most orders leave China, so expect import VAT and a carrier handling fee unless an EU warehouse is chosen at checkout.
Some links on this page earn us a commission at no extra cost to you, and that never affects any verdict on it. How this is funded.
