Herelink - HD Video Transmission and Control System (HX4-06071)

HereLink is a Digital Telemetry, Control and Video Link system that comprises a tiny, light-weight onboard transmitter module and, a beautifully designed remote control running open software with an integrated 5.4inch touch-screen.

The HereLink transmitter has two micro HDMI inputs (for dual camera operation) and a mavlink input for bi-directional communication between the control and the drone.

The HereLink controller packed with hardware buttons, wheels and joysticks that allow full control over drone operations. The addition of a built-in 5.4inch touchscreen gives rise to the potential for any number of soft-buttons and interface design that is literally unlimited.

Both the transmitter and controller will be “open” allowing for complete customisation and all communication/video is piped over a highly robust 2.4GHz LTE-based link.

HereLink represents a huge leap forward for digital video and control with drones!
