A03 400mW 5.8G VTX, a video transmitter with OpenVTx firmware, supports both the SmartAudio and Tramp protocols. It features PIT/RCE/25mW/100mW/400mW adjustable output power for different use. With the 26*26mm mounting hole size, it is suitable for whoop or toothpick drones like X-Knight series, Beta85X/95X series, TWIG series andPavo series.
Know More About OpenVTx
Big thanks to Jye Smith and all contributors for their time and energies to OpenVTx project.
OpenVTx refers to open source video transmitter firmware for the FPV community, which aims to provide firmware with both the SmartAudio and Tramp protocols. Either protocol can be used on the flight controller and on VTx power up the protocol used is automatically detected by OpenVTx. For more information, you can know it fromOpenVTx GitHub.
Bullet Point
An open-source video transmitter with OpenVTx firmware. The A03 VTX supports SmartAudio and Tramp protocols. Through these protocols, the flight controller is able to adjust the video transmitter settings, which are the power, the band, and the channel of the transmission.
A03 VTX is a high-quality 5.8GHz VTX with strong anti-interference ability and stable transmission. Comes with PIT/RCE/25mW/100mW/400mW adjustable output power, allowing the perfect amount of output power to be selected based on your FPV needs.
Overall weighing 4.9g with a small-size layout, A03 VTX comes with a 26*26mm mounting hole and is perfectly suitable for whoop or toothpick drones like the X-Knight series, Beta85X/95X series, TWIG series, and Pavo series drones.
Featuring a fixed mounting hole and 6-pin connector, less solder work needed, which makes it’s super easy to install.
One of the best VTX on BETAFPV VTX Series. A03 400mW 5.8G VTX is a video transmitter with OpenVTx firmware and supports both the SmartAudio and Tramp protocols. Besides, A03 VTX sports a better cost performance and comes with OpenVTx firmware, which supports adjustable output power and frequency, in contrast to A02 VTX. In a word, A03 VTX works perfectly without any reduction in performance or power.
The band, channel and power for A03 400mW 5.8G VTX can be changed by the OSD menu only. Enter the OSD menu by radio transmitter sticks ( Pitch Stick UP and Yaw Stick Left), then select FEATURES -> VTX SA to change the frequency and power.
LED status is shown below. VTX mode (band/channel/power) LED indication is similar to TBS's approach.
Below is the frequency table for A03 400mW 5.8G VTX.
Betaflight CLI for SmartAudio or Tramp protocols can be obtained from here:
When at a race event and using pitmode on a switch with Betaflight, select the RCE VTx power level. It will force pitmode on boot and only use 25mW. Select POWER and set RCE mode on OSD menu.
Really wanted it work but did not, doa, the return process not worth the time quad still siting on bench because of it. Disappointed in newbee and beta
Good flier, handles the abuse a new flier like me has put it through
First prebuild from NBD. I swapped out the tracer RX for crossfire, initially had a no gyro flag on the AIO but was able to get it sorted with NBD support. Flying it is a good time and it’s held up well to some decent crashes. So far only thing(s) I’ve needed to replace has been a propeller and a M3x20 standoff. Took me too long to notice but the 2 aluminum pieces are for taking the O3 air unit from 25x25 mounting and making it 20x20.
