Digital video system Ascent GT PRO Z8 VTX 5.8GHz, 1080P 60FPS, AVATAR Pro V2 camera

Ascent GT PRO Z8 - a new generation digital FPV video transmission system designed for drones based on Betaflight, INAV and ArduPilot. The system provides video transmission in Full HD 1080P resolution at 60 frames per second with a low average latency of about 35 ms.

The kit is equipped with a high-quality AVATAR Pro V2 camera with a large 1/1.2" sensor, 8000×6000 pixels matrix resolution and support for digital zoom from 1x to 8x. Zoom control is carried out directly through the flight controller using the MSP protocol.

The system supports automatic and manual frequency selection, integration with OSD via MSP DisplayPort, and is also compatible with glasses Ascent Goggles and Ascent Goggles Cine.

Due to the wide power range from 11.1 to 25.2 V, the system can be used with 3S-6S LiPo batteries without additional voltage converters.
